Dear colleagues,
A research post-doctoral position is opened at CNRM Toulouse for a
contribution to the research project TC2 (Contrails and Climate). TC2 is
a project financed by the French Council on Aeronautics Research (CORAC
- /Conseil pour la Recherche A?ronautique Civile/ :
http://www.aerorecherchecorac.com). The proposed job is described in
attachment. Expertise in atmospheric science (preferably in radiation
physics), experience in climate modeling and recommendations will be
considered as selection criteria for this position.
The deadline for application is December 20, 2011.
I thank you for considering this announcement or forwarding it to
interested scientists.
With best regards,

The Climate Dynamics section at the Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar
and Marine Research (AWI) in Bremerhaven, Germany, is seeking to appoint
as early as possible a
Scientist
with a background in climate research, oceanography, meteorology or physics.
Background and tasks: Research will be performed within the framework of
a project on medium range climate forecasting (Mittelfristige
Klimaprognosen, 'MiKlip') funded by the German ministry for education
and research (BMBF). The focus will be on atmosphere-sea-ice-ocean
interactions in the Arctic and their role for decadal climate
predictions. The scientist will be responsible for modifying and running
a global coupled climate model consisting of the atmosphere model ECHAM
and the finite element sea-ice ocean model FESOM. A suite of experiments
with and without regional mesh refinement in the Arctic will be carried
out in close collaboration with members of the group. The successful
applicant will be responsible for adjusting the computational mesh,
setting up and tuning the system, running the experiments on
supercomputers, securing computing resources, optimizing the code and
analyzing the results, participation in scientific conferences and
publication in peer reviewed journals.
Requirements: PhD or doctorate in climate, ocean, atmospheric, physical
sciences or mathematics. Demonstrated skill/proficiency in Fortran or C,
fluency in English. Furthermore, experience with complex models of the
coupled climate system (or their sub-components) and experience in
publishing in the peer-reviewed literature are all distinct advantages.
Length of contract: until August 31st 2014, with the possibility of
extension
Salary: Payment will be in accordance with the German Tarifvertrag f?r
den ?ffentlichen Dienst (Tv?D 13).
For further information: Prof. Dr. Thomas Jung (E-Mail:
<thomas.jung@awi.de>; Phone: +49(0)471-4831-1761).
AWI aims to increase the number of women in the scientific staff and
therefore encourages women to apply.
Disabled applicants with identical technical and personal suitability
will be preferentially selected, please see our notification on our
homepage under job offers / jobs.
The AWI supports balanced work-life career development via a variety of
alternatives. In Bremerhaven, the AWI operates its own nursery.
Additionally AWI offers a suite of training courses to improve soft skills.
Applications including CV and degree certificates should be submitted
under reference number 92/D/KL to: Alfred-Wegener-Institut f?r Polar-
und Meeresforschung, Personalabteilung (human resources), Postfach 12 01
61, 27515 Bremerhaven / Germany (<http://www.awi.de>). Applications
shall be submitted by December 9th 2011.

A 50% Postdoctoral position is available in the context of the Swiss
National Science Foundation "Sinergia" Project TEMPS ?The Evolution of
Mountain Permafrost in Switzerland? for a period of three years.
The TEMPS project combines a large multi-disciplinary team of scientists
from most of the institutes currently involved in permafrost research in
Switzerland. The combination of sophisticated observation data sets from
numerous mountain permafrost monitoring sites with state-of-the-art
(regional climate) model data is the core of the project. The main field
data are available from the Swiss Permafrost Monitoring Network. The
postdoctoral position focuses on the processing and management of the
project data sets. The work includes the development of strategies to
process, quality check, homogenize and archive large quantities of
climate and permafrost related data from a variety of sources and
methods. The overall aim is then the time series analysis and the
development of statistical methods for the identification of the
dominant atmospheric, surface and subsurface processes which govern the
temporal and site-specific evolution of mountain permafrost in Switzerland.
The successful candidate will closely collaborate with the PERMOS Office
and all TEMPS partners (Universities of Fribourg, Lausanne& Z?rich, ETH
Z?rich, WSL-SLF Davos). Furthermore, the Postdoctoral fellow will be
responsible for the archiving within an existing data base and the
establishment of a web-based data portal. This service is a substantial
basis for the fruitful collaboration within TEMPS.
Qualifications:
PhD in geosciences, meteorology/climate sciences, glaciology or related
field, experience in permafrost research is an asset but not a
requirement ? significant experience in the processing and
homogenization of field data and time series from environmental
monitoring ? scientific computing skills, including programming (e.g.,
R, Matlab), data base maintenance (e.g., MySQL, PhP, Oracle), and web
applications ? communication skills in English ? interest in climate and
high mountain studies, field measurements and modelling ? motivation to
work within a multi-disciplinary team with a high degree of collaboration.
Place of work:
One of the institutes participating in TEMPS (see above), preferably the
institute of the PERMOS Office.
Work and contract duration:
50% Postdoctoral position for maximum three years, starting as soon as
possible. Organizational details will be discussed with the successful
candidate.
Contact:
Prof. Christian Hauck, Department of Geosciences, University of
Fribourg, +41 26 300 9011 (<christian.hauck@unifr.ch>) ? Dr. Jeannette
N?tzli, PERMOS Office, Department of Geography, University of Zurich,
+41 44 635 5224 (<jeannette.noetzli@geo.uzh.ch>)
Please send your application (including letter of interest, CV,
publication list, copies of academic certificates etc.) until 31.
December 2011 to: Prof. Christian Hauck, Department of Geosciences,
University of Fribourg, Chemin du Mus?e 4, CH?1700 Fribourg, Switzerland.
