Ph.D. Position
(remote sensing / albedo time series)
The Remote Sensing Research Group, Institute of Geography, University of
Bern ? Switzerland offers a Ph.D. position in remote sensing. The
project ?*Albedo time series of the European Alps based on NOAA AVHRR
data (1985 ? 2012)? *is**funded by the Swiss National Science
Foundation. Within the project the AMBRALS code (Algorithms for Modeling
Bidirectional Reflectance Anisotropies of the Land Surface)developed for
NOAA-AVHRR and MODIS will be made available by Prof. C. Schaaf, Boston
University. Our own receiving stations, an existing pre-processing chain
and an extended data archive are the basis of future applications
related to albedo. Our NOAA-AVHRR data archive dates back to 1985.
Position: Derivation of albedo for the European Alps
?Apply the AMBRALS code for mountainous terrain
?Validation and improvement of the code
?Processing and analysis of a 25-year time series based on AVHRR data
?Maintenance of ground based Sun photometer, panorama camera and FD-12
Applicants should have an M.S. degree in a relevant discipline,
preferable in physical geography or meteorology with advanced knowledge
in physics / remote sensing.
Skills in optical remote sensing and experience in digital image
processing as well as programming (e.g. IDL) are desirable. Project
duration is 3 years. The salary is approximately SFr. 40.000,-- per
year. More information on the group?s activities can be found at
http://www.geography.unibe.ch/content/forschungsgruppen/fernerkundung/index_eng.htmlFor
additional information please contact: Stefan Wunderle
(stefan.wunderle@giub.unibe.ch <mailto:stefan.wunderle@giub.unibe.ch>).
The project will be supervised by Stefan Wunderle and Reto Stoeckli
(Federal Institute of Meteorology and Climatology, Switzerland).
Submit your application to Dr. Stefan Wunderle, Institute of Geography,
University of Bern, Switzerland via email ? only single pdfs containing
all relevant information are accepted.
Application deadline: 10.November 2011; Start of the project: as soon as
possible

Postdoctoral Position: Field Study of Radiative Properties of Aerosols and Clouds in the North Atlantic.
Michigan Technological University, USA.
We are seeking motivated and qualified candidates for a postdoc toral research position in our research group at Michigan Technological University http://www.mtu.edu/ (contingent on funding). The research will focus on measuring, analyzing and interpreting data on aerosol physical, morphological and optical properties collected at the Pico Mountain Observatory on top of the Pico Volcano in the Azores (2225 m a.s.l.) http://instaar.colorado.edu/pico/ .
The project aims at understanding the effects of aerosol optical properties and morphology on climate, with an emphasis on studying the aerosol direct radiative effect above clouds in the North Atlantic.
The primary responsibilities of the successful applicant will include: 1) Frequent visits to the station to perform station maintenance, install and run new aerosol instruments, and retrieve aerosol collection media. 2) Perform analysis and interpretation of samples and data, and modeling and satellite products. 3) Teach about a one-semester-long class per year at the undergraduate and/or graduate-level in the physics department, within the Atmospheric Science Program. 4) Publish and disseminate results.
The minimum qualification is a doctoral degree in physics, atmospheric, Earth or environmental sciences or closely related fields. The ideal candidate would have a strong background in atmospheric aerosol measurement techniques, data analysis and interpretation. Due to the nature of the measurement site location, field-experience and good physical fitness are necessary. Preferably, the candidate will have some mountaineering experience to be able to regularly hike the Pico Mountain even in less-than-ideal meteorological conditions. Familiarity with the impact of aerosol optical properties on climate and radiative transfer, field-data reduction, electron microscopy and some knowledge of LabView, would be advantageous. The candidate should also be comfortable teaching classes on topics such as atmospheric physics, fluid dynamics or similar topics.
The candidate must value working independently and in collaboration with a diverse group of scientists from different departments within Michigan Tech, different institutions and backgrounds, and within the cultural settings of the Azores.
This position will be based at the Department of Physics of the Michigan Technological University located in the beautiful Keweenaw Peninsula, in northern Michigan. The position is for one year with the possibility of renewal for a second and third year. Starting date will be as soon as possible and possibly no later than January 1 st 2012.
To apply, send a CV with a list of publications, and a cover letter explaining why you think you will fit well within the goals of the project and describing your future research and career goals. Provide also the names and contact information for three professional references. Please send all documents as a single pdf file to Claudio Mazzoleni (cmazzoleni@mtu.edu). Review of potential applicants will begin immediately and continue until the position is filled.
For any question please do not hesitate to contact Dr. Claudio Mazzoleni (cmazzoleni@mtu.edu).
Michigan Technological University is an Equal Opportunity Educational Institution/Equal Opportunity Employer. Applications from women and minorities are strongly encouraged.
