Post-Doctoral Research Associate: Laboratory Studies of Heterogeneous
Ice Nucleation
*University of Cambridge* - Department of Chemistry
*Salary: ?27,428 - ?35,788 pa*
The funds for this post are available for 2 years in the first instance.
The formation and effects of clouds are among the most uncertain factors
in the climate system. Especially poorly understood is the formation of
cold clouds through the nucleation of ice on aerosol particles.
A post-doctoral researcher is required to join a large NERC-funded
consortium which aims to reduce the uncertainty associated with
aerosol-cloud interactions. Ice nucleation on a variety of particle
types will be investigated using a single-particle electrodynamic
balance (EDB). The work will include: instrument development work to
adapt an existing EDB design, the preparation and characterisation of
aerosol particles used for the heterogeneous nucleation experiments. A
variety of aerosol particles will be investigated for their efficiency
to act as ice nuclei. Mie scattering will be used to determine the onset
of ice nucleation after collision between aerosol particle and droplet.
The position will allow interaction with other UK groups using various
experimental and modelling tools to investigate aerosol-cloud interactions.
Applicants should have (or be about to obtain) a PhD in atmospheric
science or a related area, with a strong interest in instrument development.
The post is available immediately. Applications should include a CV,
publications list, contact details for three professional referees, and
a completed form CHRIS/6 Parts I and III (downloadable from
http://www.admin.cam.ac.uk/offices/hr/forms/chris6/), and should be sent
to Dr Francis Pope, Department of Chemistry, Lensfield Road, Cambridge
CB2 1EW (email: fdp21@cam.ac.uk <mailto:fdp21@cam.ac.uk>). Informal
enquiries about the position can be made to Dr Pope or Dr Markus
Kalberer (mk594@cam.ac.uk <mailto:mk594@cam.ac.uk>).

*Closing Date: 1 November 2011*

Open position for 1 post-doctoral position in ocean-atmosphere modeling at LOCEAN-IPSL, Paris University, France.
The successful candidate will work at LOCEAN-IPSL (Paris 6 University) in the tropical climate variability team for a new project dedicated to ?peta scale multi-grids ocean-atmosphere coupled simulations?. This 3-year project is funded by the French National Research Agency (ANR) and will start on February 2012. This is a one-year position, renewable for 2 additional years depending on performance.
This project focuses on new pathways toward a better representation of the multi-scale physics that drive climate variability. We are targeting to identify and understand the mecanisms responsible for the climate models strongest biases in the Tropics. This involves developping a high resolution modeling platform for ocean-atmosphere coupled simulations. This new tool is designed to explore the impact of the high spatial resolution not yet approachable by the current climate models. To reach this goal, we will use a coupled model based on NEMO for the ocean, WRF for the atmosphere and OASIS for the coupler and perform simulations on peta-scale machines such as the Bullx ?Curie?.
The successful candidate must show an interest in air-sea interaction and tropical climate variability. She/He will take in charge the atmospheric part of the coupled model. She/He will participate to the realisation and the analyses of the ocean-atmosphere coupled simulations. Applicants should have a Ph.D. in atmospheric sciences or in a related field, such as oceanography or climate sciences. Experience in tropical atmospheric modeling is required, including computational skill. Good knowledge of WRF and its nesting functionality will be highly appreciated. Experience in statistical analysis of large data sets, and in running large numerical simulations are also a plus.
Interested applicants should email a curriculum vitae and contact information for two references to Sebastien Masson: smasson at locean-ipsl.upmc.fr

Post-doctoral position on permafrost modelling at LGGE, Grenoble
or LSCE, Saclay
We are seeking for qualified candidates for a post-doctoral research
contract of up to 36 months on permafrost modelling. Geographic location
for carrying out the proposed work could be in Grenoble (LGGE) or near
Paris (LSCE), and in any case in close collaboration between both
institutes. The successful candidate will lead a continuous effort to
improve and validate the representation of permafrost-related processes
in the ORCHIDEE land surface model, and apply the model to evaluate the
evolution of the permafrost carbon reservoirs during the 21^st century
in order to reassess climate stabilization scenarios.
The model currently contains a representation of several essential
permafrost-related processes, but a number of additional processes need
to be taken into account. Depending, among other, on the previous
experience of the successful candidate, the model development work can
focus on permafrost peatlands, subgrid hydrological variability,
thermokarst dynamics, soil-snow-vegetation interactions or other
processes relevant to the evolution of surface carbon and energy fluxes
in permafrost regions up to the centennial time scale. The main
scientific objective of this work is to produce better estimates of the
amplitude and sign of permafrost feedbacks to global climate change
during the 21^st century, based on coupled climate model output from the
CMIP5 intercomparison exercise used as forcing for the improved ORCHIDEE
land surface model. The successful candidate is expected to take the
lead authorship of several peer-reviewed scientific publications as the
outcome of this work.
This work will be carried out within the FP7 PAGE21 project, which is
currently in final contract preparation phase, and this job announcement
does not preclude of the acceptance of the project. Frequent
interactions with other modelling and observing groups taking part in
this European project are foreseen.
Ideally this work will start in January 2012, but the timing can be
shifted by a few months if necessary. Salary will depend on the previous
experience and C.V. of the successful candidate, in agreement with legal
and employer regulations.
