*DISCCRS VII
Interdisciplinary Climate Change Research Symposium
*http://disccrs.org/disccrsposter.pdf
October 13-20, 2012
La Foret Conference and Retreat Center
Colorado Springs, CO
*Application Deadline: February 29, 2012*
Participation limited to 30 early-career Ph.D. scholars
*Airfare and on-site expenses are supported through grants from NSF and NASA
*
http://disccrs.org
As our understanding of climate change and its far-reaching ramifications
continues to grow, it is imperative for climate change researchers to form
strong collaborative bonds that reach across disciplines and other
boundaries. Every year the DISsertations initiative for the advancement of
Climate Change ReSearch (DISCCRS, pronounced *discourse*) hosts a symposium
for early-career climate change researchers. Our goal is to catalyze
international, interdisciplinary collaboration while laying the foundation
for dynamic, communicative collegial networks that are better-equipped to
understand and respond to the myriad challenges posed by climate change.
During the week-long symposium, the 30 invited DISCCRS Scholars will have
the opportunity to present their research, hone interdisciplinary
communication and teambuilding skills, and discuss emerging research and
trends. Scholars will also have the chance to talk about the societal and
professional challenges involved in climate change research, with each
other and with established researchers invited to serve as mentors.
Applications will be reviewed by an interdisciplinary committee of research
scientists. *The selection committee will favor applicants who plan to
engage in interdisciplinary research careers in any subject relevant to the
study of climate change, its impacts or its solutions.* We encourage
applicants from the *natural* and *social sciences*, *mathematics*, *
engineering*, and other fields, so long as their research focus relates to
climate change, its impacts or its solutions. Although the emphasis is on
the U.S. research system, we welcome applicants from all countries who are
interested in learning about the U.S. research system or connecting with
U.S. researchers. *Airfare and on-site expenses are supported through
grants from NSF and NASA.*
*Symposium application instructions:*

*ELECTRONIC RESOURCES
*In addition to our annual symposia,* DISCCRS provides online tools for
catalyzing interdisciplinary discussion and collaboration:*

Meteosim is a technological consulting company that ? through highly reliable weather forecasts ? provides solutions to sectors and industries whose activities are weather-sensitive.
Meteosim?s main asset is the application of scientific knowledge, which provides valuable solutions to our clients on the basis of research and development with mesoscale and microscale weather forecast models.
The experience and recognition developed through the production of short-term forecasts for very localized areas,long-term seasonal forecasts, marine forecasts, historical analysis of past
weather conditions, pollution dispersion models / air quality, risk maps, water resources,
etc., allow Meteosim to work in different sectors.
Meteosim was created as a spin-off company in 2003 through a partnership between the members of the Department of Astronomy and Meteorology of the University of Barcelona (Spain) and the American company Meso Inc., (Troy, New York), world-renowned in the field of Meteorology.
In 2007, in order to reinforce Meteosim?s position within the wind sector, the company Meteosim Truewind was founded to perform a joint venture with the American company AWS Truewind. The success of the collaboration resulted in the merger of both companies in 2011 to establish AWS Truepower, world leader in the wind sector with offices in the United States, Spain, Mexico and India.
This diversification allowed Meteosim to direct their research, development and trading resources towards other weather-sensitive markets such as Air Quality, Communication Media, etc.

Key Responsibilities
? Lead technical work
? Manage projects
? Assist with business development activities
? Develop and evaluate meteorological models for sectors as air quality, climate change, oceanic, sailing, short term forecasting, seasonal forecasting.
? Apply meteorological and air quality models to meet the research, regulatory and needs of our clients
Required Qualifications
? M.S. or Ph.D. degree in the Physical
? High English level
? Minimum 5 years of experience in atmospheric modeling, client relations, and project management
? Excellent problem-solving skills

TWO RESEARCHER POSITIONS (post-doc) in CLIMATE-HEALTH APPLICATIONS
available in the Earth System Physics (ESP) section of the Abdus Salam
International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP), an IAEA/UNESCO
affiliated institute located in Trieste in northern Italy. The positions
are funded by European Union FP7 projects QWeCI and HEALTHY FUTURES,
which will examine the predictability and projection of vector-borne
diseases (in particular malaria) in diverse regions of Africa from
seasonal to multi-decadal timescales in order to perform vulnerability
assessments and guide planning and mitigation actions.
POSITION A: Development of the VECTRI dynamical disease model
The appointed researcher will focus on the further development of the
new ICTP dynamical disease model VECTRI. The model represents the
malaria disease cycle accounting for climate information as well as
population density and simple surface hydrology. The candidate will
develop the model further to improve the treatment of the hydrological
and human components, including the effect of various interventions and
migration. Extending the model to other vector borne diseases with
strong climate drivers will also be considered. A good level of computer
literacy with a demonstrated ability to write program code (preferably
Fortran90) is expected.
POSITION B: Remote sensing of surface hydrology at fine spatial scales
This researcher will use his/her knowledge of remote sensing techniques
to map land cover and surface hydrology at high spatial resolutions
relevant for vector breeding (pond-scale for malaria, and lake
boundaries for schistosomiasis). The ultimate aim is to use this
information to develop a simplified representation of the hydrology in
the dynamical disease models developed within the projects. Knowledge of
available relevant satellite products and GIS software is essential.
The candidates are expected to have a PhD and peer-reviewed
publications. An enthusiasm for collaborative project work involving
travel to Africa is also required. Further details of the project are
available from the project PI at ICTP, Adrian Tompkins (tompkins@ictp.it).
ICTP offers internationally competitive remuneration which will depend
on the experience of the candidate. Details of ESP research activities
are available at http://www.ictp.it/research/esp.aspx. The positions are
offered for an initial period of one year, renewable for up to an
additional two years, to start as soon as possible.
Each application should include:
- a letter of motivation
- a curriculum vitae
- a list of publications (with refereed journal highlighted)
Applications must be submitted on-line at:
Position A: https://onlineapps.ictp.it/ENTER/APPLICANT/ED11.mhtml
Position B: https://onlineapps.ictp.it/ENTER/APPLICANT/ER11.mhtml
