Posted on behalf of Prof John Plane.

Two fully-funded PhD opportunities related to the study of cosmic dust.

******

1. PhD title: 'Impacts of meteoric smoke in the stratosphere and upper troposphere'
Supervised by: Prof J. Plane and Dr B J Murray

The amount of cosmic dust entering the earth?s atmosphere is highly uncertain:
estimates range from about 10 to 270 tonnes per day globally. Most of
the dust particles enter the atmosphere at very high speeds (12 - 72 km
s-1), causing the particles to undergo meteoric ablation. The resulting
vapours of iron, magnesium and silicon become oxidised and then condense
over several days to form nanometre-size particles termed meteoric
smoke.

The purpose of this project is to investigate the impacts of smoke particles in the middle atmosphere. These impacts
include reaction in the mesosphere and upper stratosphere with acidic
gases such as sulphuric, nitric and hydrochloric acid. The smoke may
also act as condensation nuclei for sulphuric acid droplets in the
middle stratosphere. A major focus of the project will be the role of
meteor smoke in crystallising sulphuric acid and nitric acid droplets in
the lower stratosphere and upper troposphere (i.e. enhancing the
freezing of polar stratospheric clouds), and determining the resulting
effect on stratospheric O3. Laboratory experiments using an optical
microscope with Raman spectroscopy will be used to study droplets
containing meteoric smoke analogues (made using the ?lab-on-the-chip?
microfluidics technique) under stratospheric conditions.

The results from these experiments will then be incorporated into a
chemistry-climate model of the whole atmosphere. Comparison with
observations of the meteoritic material in sulphuric acid droplets will
be used to constrain the cosmic dust flux. This model will be used to
simulate changes to O3 as the stratosphere cools through the 21st
Century, and also to explore how meteoric smoke may interfere with a
proposed geo-engineering climate solution which involves pumping sulphur
dioxide into the stratosphere.

The studentship will involve: experimental work using Raman microscopy and the microfluidics
technique to generate nanoparticles; and atmospheric modelling using a
microphysical mass advection model coupled to a leading
chemistry-climate model. An appropriate background would be a first
degree in chemistry, physics or atmospheric science.

The student will join a large research team studying the evolution of cosmic dust
from the outer solar system to the earth?s surface. The team consists of
4 senior staff members, 5 post-docs and 2 PhD students at Leeds, as
well as 10 remote members in the US and Germany.

******
2. PhD title: 'Meteoric ions in planetary atmospheres'
Supervised by Prof J. Plane

Interplanetary
dust particles are produced by the sublimation of dust from comets, and
collisions between asteroids. When these particles enter a planetary
atmosphere, high velocity collisions with atmospheric molecules lead to
rapid heating, melting and evaporation ? a process termed meteoric
ablation. The purpose of this project is to carry out a comparative
study of the effects of meteoric ablation in the atmospheres of Mars,
Venus and Titan. Ablation provides a source of metals such as Fe, Mg and
Na, which ionize readily. The resulting layers of metallic ions have
been detected recently on Mars and Venus by radio occultation
measurements with orbiting spacecraft, and similar layers are expected
to occurs about 500 km above the surface of Titan.

The project will involve constructing a new laboratory apparatus to study the rates
at which metallic molecular ions are neutralised by electrons (a type
of reaction known as dissociative recombination). These reactions
control the atmospheric lifetimes of metallic ions, and so their rates
are essential information for modelling metal ion chemistry. The
experimental results will then be input into models of the middle
atmospheres of these four solar system bodies. These models will be
coupled to an astronomical model of the Zodiacal Cloud and a model of
meteoric ablation, in order to estimate the rates of meteoric ablation
in each atmosphere. The model predictions will then be compared with
satellite observations of ion layers, through collaborations with Boston
University and the University of K?ln (where the student will make
short-term research visits).

The studentship will involve: experimental reaction kinetics of ion-molecule reactions; the option to
carry out fundamental theoretical calculations on these reactions; and
the development of atmospheric models of three solar system bodies. An
appropriate background would be a first degree in chemistry, physics,
astronomy or atmospheric science.

The student will join a large research team studying the evolution of cosmic dust from the outer
solar system to the earth?s surface. The team consists of 4 senior
staff members, 5 post-docs and 2 PhD students at Leeds, as well as 10
remote members in the US and Germany.

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.

To: <met-jobs@lists.reading.ac.uk>
Message-ID: <4ECBA9E2.70402@env.ethz.ch>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="ISO-8859-1"; format=flowed

In the framework of the CarboCount-CH project funded by the Swiss
National Science Foundation, the Institute for Atmospheric and Climate
Sciences of ETH Z?rich offers a PhD position in regional scale
climate-carbon cycle modeling. The overarching goal of CarboCount-CH is
to combine advanced modeling and experimental methods to quantify
greenhouse gas fluxes between the biosphere and the atmosphere and their
sensitivity to climate variations at the regional scale and more
specifically over Switzerland. CarboCount-CH is a collaborative project
between 6 Swiss institutes at ETH Zurich, Empa and the University of
Bern and is closely associated with the Centre for Climate Systems
Modeling (C2SM).

The successful candidate will develop an integrated biosphere-atmosphere
modeling system representing explicitly the interactions between energy,
water and carbon fluxes at the European scale. This system will be used
to investigate how these fluxes and the atmospheric carbon budget
respond to climate variability and trends, in particular in relation to
soil moisture dynamics and droughts. The modeling system will build upon
the recently developed COSMO-CLM^2 model combining a Regional Climate
Model and an advanced Land Surface Model (more information concerning
COSMO-CLM^2 can be found here:
http://www.iac.ethz.ch/groups/seneviratne/research/COSMO-CLM-CLM). Until
now, COSMO-CLM^2 has been used without the existing but optional carbon
and nitrogen module. Within this PhD thesis, COSMO-CLM^2 will be further
developed to incorporate explicitly climate-carbon cycle interactions
and to allow the simulation of CO2 exchanges between the terrestrial
biosphere and the atmosphere. Historical simulations will then be
carried out and analyzed focusing on the linkages between the climate,
biogeochemical cycles and vegetation processes (such as phenology) in
particular in the context of heat waves and droughts.

The PhD student will be supervised by Prof. Sonia Seneviratne (ETH) and
Prof. Nicolas Gruber (ETH). The PhD student will closely collaborate
with two other PhD students in the project and will be supported by
technical staff and postdocs hired through the project. The
CarboCount-CH project will start in January 2011 and applicants should
be able to begin before spring 2012. The desired qualifications for the
PhD candidates are: Master degree in atmospheric and/or climate
sciences, physics, computational sciences or a closely related
discipline; experience with a higher programming language; fluency in
English; good communication skills; interest in climate change research.

For further information about the position please contact Prof. Sonia
Seneviratne (sonia.seneviratne@env.ethz.ch). See also
http://www.iac.ethz.ch/groups/seneviratne/research and
http://www.c2sm.ethz.ch/.

In order to receive full consideration, applications must be submitted
online via button below before December 31, 2011. Applications should
include a CV, your research interest, a list of publications and the
names of two academic referees. Please address your application to ETH

Drs. Alexander Marshak and Warren Wiscombe have been continuously funded by the Dept. of Energy ARM (now ASR) Program for over 20 years, and several postdocs have worked with them over this time and gone on to great career success. They now seek a new postdoc to work with them for 3 years to conduct research on surface spectral shortwave radiation problems in a fully 3D cloud environment characterized by ARM's new scanning cloud radars. A particular topic of interest will be the transition zone between cloud and clear.

Duties and Responsibilities:
o Combine and analyze data from the DoE Atmospheric Radiative Measurements (ARM) Program's new scanning radars, new shortwave spectrometers, and new microwave radiometers with a view to achieving radiative closure in a general 3D situation.
o Discover better representations of clouds in shortwave radiative transfer models and in parameterizations for climate models.

Knowledge and Skills:
o Ph.D. in Atmospheric Physics or a related field
o Experience with atmospheric radiation transfer
o Experience with cloud microphysics (highly desirable)
o Knowledge of radar retrievals (desirable) but must be learned in any case.

How to apply: Applicants should submit a resume with three professional references to hr@usra.edu.
USRA (Universities Space Research Association) offers an excellent compensation package commensurate with experience and capabilities including generous fringe benefits.
