REFERENCE: IC3-UDIC-2011-02
LOCATION: IC3 headquarters in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain
ENVIRONMENT: IC3 is a newly established climate institution settled by
the Government of Catalunya and the University of Barcelona, aiming at
understanding future climate change and the dynamics and theory
underlying those changes. It has also as main interests the accurate
simulation of the interplay between climate and the biosphere and its
feedbacks and the development of seasonal-to-decadal predictability
capacities. In addition to studying processes at the global scale, IC3
will focus on the Mediterranean regions, tropical Africa, South America
and SE. Asia. IC3 will have a body of 100-125 scientists in 8-10 years
and a total staff around 200 people. Working languages of IC3 are
English, Catalan and Spanish. For details, see <www.ic3.cat>
Within IC3, the Unit for Climate Dynamics and Impacts (UDIC) led by the
Dr. Xavier Rod?, is focusing on the improvement of the simulation of
climate impacts, particularly climate effects on health, energy, food
and the water cycle. UDIC is now seeking for a highly motivated young
scientist for the working group of climate-driven diseases. Candidates
are expected to take the lead in developing next generation of models
for Vector-Borne diseases (VBD) and waterborne diseases (WBD),
respectively and contribute to strengthen the capacities of the UDIC
group on Climate and Health. The conditions for enrollment are detailed
below:
DESCRIPTION AND MAIN DUTIES OF THE POSITION: Two year (1+1)
post-doctoral contract for improving VBD models in the framework of a
recently funded European project. The project seeks to generate accurate
seasonal-to-decadal changes in the incidence of malaria and Rift Valley
fever in African countries as well as leishmaniasis and CCHF in eastern
Mediterranean countries. The candidate is expected to collaborate with
the Climate Forecasting Unit of the institute, which takes the lead in
the generation of climate projections.
REQUIREMENTS: Skill and demonstrated ability and experience in building,
calibrating and in the validation of mathematical models (stochastic ODE
systems...) for modelling the dynamics of VBD or/and (WBD). Experience
in procedures for estimating modelling parameters (e.g. MIF methods),
will be highly valued. The candidate should have demonstrated facility
in handling large databases (especially climatic databases) and in
programming languages needed for developing code and scripts, as well as
proven skills in advanced statistics is a strong requirement. Capacity
to write proposals, manuscripts and to work with other colleagues in a
highly collaborative environment will also be valued. Flexibility for
traveling to Africa and the US when needed will be also valued.
Candidates without a demonstrated ability or a proven track of papers
where the build-up of dynamical models is central will not be considered
for this position.
REMUNERATION: Salary will be commensurate with Spanish standards for
postdoctoral contracts, starting at S12 (29.000 ?/year) but higher
scales might be considered for exceptional candidates. Possibility of
extending the contract beyond the two years will be possible on the
basis of exceptional achievements, and tenure-track possibilities may be
considered only after evaluation by the Scientific Advisory Board of the
Institute at the termination of the contract.
LENGTH OF CONTRACT: Two years, renewable.
STARTING DATE: The position starts preferably during the last quarter of
2011, or as soon as possible after that date.
APPLICATIONS: The application form and aptitude test should be
downloaded from IC3's website <www.ic3.cat> Applicants should fill in
the application form and the aptitude test and email both to
<jobs@ic3.cat>, indicating IC3-UDIC-2011-02 on the "Subject".
Selected final candidates should ask for three letters of recommendation
from scientists from places other than their current workplace. A letter
from the PhD advisor is encouraged. Possibility for an immediate
incorporation will be strongly considered. These letters should be
addressed to <jobs@ic3.cat>. IC3 is an equal opportunity employer. Calls
are open until filled. IC3 will notify the selected candidates as soon
as possible.
CLOSING DATE: Applications will be accepted until the position is
filled, and the evaluation of first candidates will start on November,
7th, 2011. Please, check at IC3's webpage the link for the status of the
offer.

LOCATION: IC3 headquarters in Barcelona, Spain
ENVIRONMENT: IC3 is a climate research institute created by the
Government of Catalonia in 2008. IC3's main scientific goal is to assess
and understand climate variability and change at both global and
regional scales to improve both predictions and projections. Linked to
this goal, IC3 works on understanding and simulating how global change
modulates variability and change in society and ecosystems. IC3's
mandate is to become a leading international centre for climate research
in Europe, with a regional focus on the Mediterranean area. IC3 will
mainly develop top-quality research on basic and applied climate
sciences, while informing society and stakeholders on future climate
risks. Working languages of IC3 are English, Catalan and Spanish. For
details, see
<www.ic3.cat>.
There is growing interest in the implications of climate variability and
change from a season to a few decades ahead. Reliable predictive climate
information is critical to ensure that costly adaptation measures to
climate variability and change are well justified. The Climate
Forecasting Unit (CFU, see http://ic3cfu.wikispot.org for details) is
led by Dr. Francisco Doblas--Reyes, and undertakes research on the
development and assessment of dynamical and statistical methods for the
prediction of global climate on time scales ranging from months to decades.
MAIN DUTIES: The successful applicant will investigate the
predictability and actual forecast quality of seasonal-to-interannual
ensemble predictions carried out with the dynamical global climate model
EC-Earth. The applicant will be involved in developments within the
EC-Earth consortium to carry out initialized seasonal-to-interannual
ensemble simulations. The development and implementation of
initialization strategies will be a main focus of the job. Outstanding
opportunities exist for collaboration with other European research
institutions.
QUALIFICATIONS, SKILLS AND ABILITIES: The successful applicant is
expected to have:
A Ph.D. in Atmospheric Sciences, Physical Oceanography or related
disciplines
Experience in climate dynamics and climate modelling
Experience in working with climate dynamical models, code
parallelization, climate prediction and dealing with different data formats
Good programming skills in Fortran90 and Linux, while knowledge of
python scripting and the use of the R language will be highly valued
Fluency in spoken and written English; fluency in other European
languages will be also valued
The incumbent will be part of a new and enthusiastic cutting-edge
research group. The candidate should be able to work as an active and
collaborative team member to help in the delivery of shared objectives,
to communicate clearly with a range of colleagues of varying levels of
technical and scientific competence. The possibility of scheduling the
tasks as a part-time job can also be considered.
REMUNERATION: Annual gross salary within the range of 27,600 EUR (IC3
salary level S11) to 30.600 EUR Euros (IC3 salary level S13). In
principle, the successful applicant will be engaged at the lowest step
of the grade of the post for which he/she has been selected.
Exceptionally, recruitment may be at a higher level when this is
justified by qualifications and experience. A deduction of 6.35% will be
made for the Spanish health and social public insurance system. In order
to calculate net salary figures, an additional tax deduction of around
15% (depending on the salary level) should be applied[1]. A tax free
food allowance of 1,320 EUR/year should be added to the previous figures.
LENGTH OF CONTRACT: Two years, renewable (2+2).
STARTING DATE: The position starts preferably during the fourth quarter
of 2011, or as soon as possible after that date.
APPLICATIONS: The application form and aptitude test should be
downloaded from IC3's website <http://www.ic3.cat>. Applicants should
fill in the application form and the aptitude test and email both of
them to jobs@ic3.cat, indicating IC3-CFU-2011-03 on the "Subject".
CLOSING DATE: Applications will be accepted until the position is
filled, although the evaluation of the first candidates will start in
November 2011. Please, check the status of the offer on the
corresponding link of the IC3 web site.*
