Excerpt:
Postdoctoral fellow in climate dynamics 2011/11282, Geophysical
Institute, University of Bergen
The successful candidate will work with quantifying variability and
trends in storm-tracks in mid-latitudes. In addition to exploring
natural variability we will also focus on how mid-latitude storm-tracks
respond to global warming by investigating climate projections simulated
by Global Climate Models (GCM). The scientific focus will be on how
large-scale air-sea interaction affects the variability and changes in
storm-track properties.
Candidates must have experience and good knowledge in atmospheric
dynamics and also be able to use mathematical methods applied in this
field. We also require that the successful candidate has some experience
in climate analysis, particularly with gridded datasets. It is an
advantage if the candidate has experience with global climate models.
The candidate will work in a lively research environment and should have
good team working skills.

The Institute of Environmental Physics and Remote Sensing at the University
of Bremen (http://www.iup.physik.uni-bremen.de/eng/ ) is looking for a
PostDoc (TVL 13, 100%), starting on January 1st, 2012 for the duration of
three years in the field of
Satellite Remote Sensing of Tropospheric
Constituents and Integration with Model Results
The Institute of Environmental Physics at the University of Bremen has been
working on remote sensing of atmospheric composition from satellite
observations since 1995. The method used here is based on the Differential
Optical Absorption Spectroscopy (DOAS) of scattered sunlight and allows the
determination of global maps of tropospheric trace gases such as NO2, SO2,
or HCHO.
In the framework of the EU project MACC-II (http://www.gmes-atmosphere.eu/
), IUP Bremen will validate results from several atmospheric models with
independent satellite observations. In addition, model data will be
incorporated as a priori information into the data analysis in order to
improve retrievals on data from instruments such as SCIAMACHY and GOME-2,
and to facilitate synergistic interpretation of results. This work builds on
existing data, algorithms and results, and will be executed in close
collaboration with other members of the working group.
Requirements:
* A PhD and Master or Diploma in Physics or a related discipline
* Experience in at least one higher programming language
* Interest in data analysis and atmospheric research
* Good knowledge in spoken and written German and / or English
* Good knowledge and experience in at least one of the following fields:
physics and chemistry of the atmosphere, remote sensing of atmospheric
composition, radiative transfer, inversion theory, atmospheric modelling
The Institute of Environmental Physics offers a friendly working atmosphere
and excellent working environment. The position is integrated into the
SCIAMACHY project and the interdisciplinary and international MACC-II
project (http://www.gmes-atmosphere.eu/ ).
More information on the institute and the DOAS group can be found at
http://www.iup.physik.uni-bremen.de/eng/ and http://www.doas-bremen.de .
As the University of Bremen intends to increase the proportion of female
employees in science, women are particularly encouraged to apply. In case of
equal personal aptitudes and qualification priority will be given to
disabled persons.
Please direct applications and questions in electronic form until November
15, 2011 to

Open PhD and Postdoc positions in atmospheric/climate science on
regional-scale greenhouse gas emission measurement and modelling
The project CarboCount-CH is a new collaborative project between 6 Swiss
institutes at ETH Zurich, the Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials
Science and Technology (Empa) and the University of Bern which aims at
quantifying greenhouse gas fluxes and their sensitivity to climate
variations in Central Europe and specifically in Switzerland. The
project will combine advanced modelling and experimental methods to
study exchange fluxes of CO2 between biosphere and atmosphere and to
quantify regional scale emissions of CO2 and CH4, the two most important
anthropogenic greenhouse gases. Several new observation sites will be
setup in Switzerland for the measurement of atmospheric CO2 and CH4
concentrations which will provide key input for the modelling and
experimental investigations.
For further details, see the attached .pdf.
