Post-doctoral research position on global aerosol-cloud interactions
We are looking for a post-doctoral researcher on global aerosol-cloud interactions and radiative effects in the dynamic Climate Processes Group <http://www.physics.ox.ac.uk/research/climate-processes> within the sub-Department of Atmospheric, Oceanic and Planetary Physics of the Department of Physics at the University of Oxford. The post is available immediately initially for a fixed-term period of two and a half years.
This position is part of the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) funded research consortium ACID-PRUF, with the objective to reduce the uncertainty in estimates of radiative forcing and climate feedbacks relating to aerosol and cloud processes through a targeted laboratory measurement and modelling programme, between ten UK universities and research centres. Within the consortium, the University of Oxford is coordinating the global modelling activities.
The focus of this research will be on uncertainties in the representation of aerosol-cloud processes in complex global climate models with the aim to assess and quantify the impact of parametric uncertainties on radiative forcing through global modeling - in close interaction with laboratory measurements and process studies conducted within ACID-PRUF.
The successful applicant will guide this research activity and is expected to develop original research strategies, take responsibility for the relevant model development and run the models on local as well as supercomputing facilities. The results should be presented at national and international meetings as well as published in high-impact publications. This post offers the possibility to co-advise a doctoral student and potentially other teaching opportunities.
Applicants should have a doctorate in atmospheric physics or a related field and ideally a strong aerosol/cloud physics background. As this consortium spans all the way from detailed laboratory measurements to global climate modelling, this post would suit an applicant with related process modelling or measurement experience and the interest to refocus on global climate modelling (or vice versa).
Please direct informal enquiries to Dr Philip Stier.
Only applications received before midday on 31 January 2012 can be considered. All applications have to be made online. Further details and the application form can be found on the University of Oxford recruitment webpage<https://www.recruit.ox.ac.uk> using the Vacancy ID 101748.

PhD (DPhil) Project at University of Oxford
We are looking for excellent applicants for a PhD (DPhil) studentship on "Investigating Aerosol Effects on Convective Clouds and Climate Using Time-Resolved Remote Sensing" in the Climate Processes Group<http://www.physics.ox.ac.uk/research/climate-processes> within the sub-Department of Atmospheric, Oceanic and Planetary Physics of the Department of Physics at the University of Oxford. Funded by a grant of the European Research Council (ACCLAIM), the studentship will start in autumn 2012.
In the ACCLAIM project we will consistently combine global models, cloud resolving models and remote sensing data to advance our understanding on the physical processes underlying such observed relationships. Closely tied with the other research strands in ACCLAIM, this PhD (DPhil) project will develop novel constraints on aerosol-convection interactions and their representation in models based on resolved remote sensing from geo-stationary satellites, such as MSG, and ground based instruments, such as radar and lidar.
This PhD (DPhil) project is expected to involve an active co-operation with the UK aerosol-cloud community, the UK MetOffice as well as international partners, such as the German Space Agency (DLR) / University of Munich.
Please see our Graduate Admissions Webpage<http://www2.physics.ox.ac.uk/study-here/postgraduates/research-projects-for-2012-0> for more details. Graduate application deadlines at the University of Oxford are streamed but we strongly recommend to apply for the 20 January deadline. Please direct informal enquiries to Philip Stier.

FACULTY OF SCIENCE
SCHOOL OF MATHEMATICS AND STATISTICS
REFERENCE NO. 2142/1211
Applications are sought for a Postdoctoral Research Associate position in Dynamical Systems. This position is funded by an Australian Research Council (ARC) Discovery Project Grant ?Extracting macroscopic variables and their dynamics in multiscale systems with metastable states? held by Gary Froyland (g.froyland@unsw.edu.au<mailto:georg.gottwald@usyd.edu.au>) and Georg Gottwald (georg.gottwald@usyd.edu.au<mailto:georg.gottwald@usyd.edu.au>).
The dynamics of large complex systems are complicated by their high dimensionality and by the possible existence of processes running on temporal scales varying by several orders of magnitude. The aim of this project is to develop innovative mathematical theory and numerical algorithms to identify a set of reduced low-dimensional macroscopic coordinates, given only a set of observations, that best capture the long term behaviour of such complex systems. The mathematical toolset will include analytical and numerical methods from dynamical systems theory and ergodic theory.
This is an opportunity to play a leading role within a collaborative research team based at the Schools of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Sydney and the University of New South Wales. Teaching is not a requirement however opportunities to teach may be available if desired.
You will have:
? PhD degree in Mathematics or be close to completing one
? expertise in dynamical systems theory and/or ergodic theory with programming skills
? demonstrated ability to conduct high-quality research under limited supervision either independently or as part of a research team
? published research as sole author or in collaboration
? excellent written and verbal communication skills.
The position is full-time fixed-term for two years subject to completion of a satisfactory probation and confirmation period for new appointees. Membership of a University approved superannuation scheme is a condition of appointment.
Remuneration package: approx. $92K p.a. (as of January 2012, which includes Level A6 base salary, leave loading and 17% employer?s contribution to superannuation). The Level of appointment will be commensurate with experience and expertise.
All applications must be submitted via the University of Sydney careers website. Visit sydney.edu.au/positions<http://sydney.edu.au/positions/> and search by the reference number for more information and to apply.
CLOSING DATE: 6 February 2012 (11:30pm Sydney time)
