Vacancy: Two research engineers to ICOS Sweden
We invite two research engineers to work in our team. One position is
based in northern Sweden, at the Swedish University of Agricultural
Sciences Forest Research Station in Vindeln, and one is based in central
Sweden at Norunda Field Station outside Uppsala which is operated by the
University of Lund.
The main task of the positions will be to participate in the development
and maintenance of the ICOS monitoring sites. A major part of the work
includes supervision, calibration and maintenance of field equipment and
data handling (transfer, quality check and deliveries). The work
includes daily routines as well as temporary intensive campaigns. There
may also be participation in other, relevant research projects.
Professional requirements
The positions require an academic exam in natural/technical science
including one or several of the subjects micrometeorology, physical
geography, environmental physics and biogeochemical measurement
technology. A Ph.D. within one of these fields of science is desirable
but not required. Experience in micro-meteorological methods, automated
systems for biochemical research and field measurements, ability to
climb meteorological towers up to 150 meter height, and experiences in
computing and data management are also considered an advantage.
Collaborative competence and ability to structure and prioritise working
tasks efficiently are important personal qualifications. The ability to
express yourself in speech and writing in English is also important, and
an advantage if in Swedish as well. Driving license is required.

ICOS - Integrated Carbon Observation System
- is a new European research infrastructure for quantifying and
understanding the greenhouse gas balance of the European continent and
of adjacent regions. The infrastructure is built up as a collaboration
of nationally operated measurement stations in 17 European countries.
ICOS Sweden (<http://www.icos-sweden.se>) is the Swedish contribution to
this European effort.
High-precision, standardized observations of the exchange of greenhouse
gases and heat between the Earth's surface and its atmosphere form an
essential basis for understanding not only our planet's present climate,
but also past and future developments. It has also become clear that
these studies must be secured beyond the lifetime of a typical research
project. The aim of ICOS is therefore to construct, equip and operate a
network of standardized long-term, high precision integrated monitoring
stations for atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations of CO2, CH4, CO
and radiocarbon-CO2.

PhD projects are available in GeoSciences, University of Edinburgh.
I would like to draw your attention to two projects in particular:
1. Project: Causes of regional climate variability over the last
millennium Supervisors: Prof Gabriele Hegerl and Dr. Rob Wilson
(Edinburgh/St. Andrews) Email: <gabi.hegerl@ed.ac.uk>;
<rjsw@st-andrews.ac.uk>
Reconstructions of climate for the last millennium indicate substantial
regional climate variability and change. For example, climate
reconstructions in North America over the last millennium shows
periods of severe drought. Such 'megadrought' events would have a severe
societal impact if they happened again, and it is unclear if current
climate change could trigger such severe droughts in the
future. Temperature reconstructions of past climate variability are
available for parts of North America and Eurasia, and indicate
substantial variability in the past. Coral-based reconstructions of
tropical climate are also available, as well as regional high latitude
treering records, e.g. Fennoscandia. This project will focus both on
simulated and reconstructed/observed records of climate variability in
North America and the tropics, with the goal of identifying causes and
contributors to megadroughts and past temperature variations, including
external influences such as volcanic eruptions, and internal climate
variability such as El Nino and its decadal relatives, or the North
Atlantic Oscillation.
2. Influence of regional processes and forcings on changing temperature
extremes Supervisors: Dr Gabi Hegerl; Dr. David Stevenson
Email: <gabi.hegerl@ed.ac.uk>, <David.S.Stevenson@ed.ac.uk>
The probability of climate extremes is changing in a changing climate,
and many impacts of climate change are linked not to changes in mean
climate, but to changes in climate extremes and climate variability.
There are strong indications that changes in the intensity and frequency
of temperature extremes occur with anthropogenic warming, but the
changes simulated by climate models are not everywhere in agreement with
those observed. Some regions of disagreement,and the different levels of
change observed in daytime maximum and daytime minimum temperatures
point towards influences from regional scale changes in atmospheric
composition, particularly aerosol forcing, and from regional scale
changes in land use. Regional temperature distributions also highlight
the importance of soil moisture and snow and ice cover to the daily
temperature distribution. Scientific understanding of the role of these
more regional processes and of aerosol forcing on temperature extremes
is presently limited. The goal of this research is to assess how
aerosols, land use change and changes in the local hydrological cycle
and in snow cover may have impacted regional changes in the probability
of climate extremes over the 20th century, and to determine if these
regional factors may contribute to model-data mismatches over the 20th
century. The ultimate goal of this research is to produce better
predictions of future changes in extremes and their impacts.
The projects are open for UK, EU and Intl applicants, but funding is
only available for UK citizens or residents (see webpage details) based
on interviews.
Application deadline February 1, 2012

Post-doctoral position in land-atmosphere interactions
A research scientist position ideally suited for a recent PhD graduate is available in the
Department of Meteorology, College of Earth and Mineral Sciences at Penn State
University. The appointment is for one year but can be extended depending on
documented research progress.
The position entails analyses, interpretation, and reporting of energy and carbon fluxes
data obtained at various locations around the world. In addition, the position requires
the development, testing, and application of numerical models to study thermodynamics
and dynamics of the atmospheric boundary layers over marine and continental
environments, and to investigate cloud formation processes. Cloud resolving and air
quality numerical models need to be applied to consider the influences of particles on
cloud formation processes and associated impacts on regional climate. This position
also offers the opportunity to participate in field research activities in the general area of
land-atmosphere interactions.
Interested candidates can contact Professor Jos? D Fuentes via email
(jdfuentes@psu.edu). Please submit a complete resume, a brief letter indicating
professional goals and how academic background and research experiences match the
described position, and three names of referees with their associated contact
information.
