Postdoctoral Position in Atmospheric Remote Sensing
Applications are invited for a postdoctoral position in atmospheric remote sensing at the Joint Institute for Regional Earth System Science and Engineering at the University of California, Los Angeles (JIFRESSE-UCLA) (https://jifresse.ucla.edu/about/job-opportunities/). As part of a multi-institutional effort, including the JIFRESSE-UCLA, NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), and the National Center for Atmospheric Research, we are establishing a core U.S. IASI atmospheric composition science team and develop the capability to process IASI Level-1C (calibrated radiances) at NCAR. We will use this new processing platform as a test-bed for enhancing the radiative transfer and retrieval algorithms for tropospheric carbon monoxide (CO) and ozone (O3) in partnership with our European collaborators. We will also perform cross-satellite instrument comparison of trace gas retrievals under the optimal estimation framework using CO and O3 data with MOPITT and TES.
The postdoctoral fellow will contribute to the initial analysis by studying the radiance residuals and retrieval characteristics from the IASI retrievals performed at NCAR. They will be part of the team that suggests modifications and updates to the algorithm and then evaluates the impact of the changes. In the second phase of the work, the postdoc will focus on intercomparisons of TES and IASI. This is expected to include processing IASI radiances through the TES prototype scheme, and then creating a matched TES-IASI dataset for statistical analysis to characterize biases.
The successful candidate will work with Dr. Annmarie Eldering at JIFRESSE-UCLA and JPL, as well as Dr. Kevin Bowman and Dr. John Worden at JPL, but will have the opportunity to collaborate with researchers at all of the participating institutions.
Candidates should have a Ph.D. in atmospheric sciences or a related field, with experience with radiative transfer and retrievals, as well as data analysis. The position is available immediately and will remain open until filled. The position is for one year, renewable for up to two additional years.
Interested applicants should send curriculum vitae and the names and contact information of three references to Dr. Annmarie Eldering (eldering@atmos.ucla.edu).

Imperial College: PhD Studentship
The Atmospheric Physics Group at Imperial College in London (
http://www3.imperial.ac.uk/spat<https://mail02.ndc.nasa.gov/owa/redir.aspx?C=4865f1266a954b33ae9a62b80f6d3018&URL=http%3a%2f%2fwww3.imperial.ac.uk%2fspat>)
has a vacancy for a PhD studentship on investigating the "Relationships
between regional emissions, radiative forcing and precipitation", using
global modelling. You would be joining an active and growing group in
Atmospheric Physics, with several opportunities for collaboration (e.g.
Cambridge, NASA, NCAR). We are looking for a graduate in physical/chemical
science, maths or engineering with at least a 2.1 Honours degree. Standard
research council rules apply, so only UK residents or EU nationals who have
studied in the UK for the last 3 years can apply for a full scholarship
(generally EU nationals who have not been studying in the UK for the last 3
years can only apply for a fees-only scholarship). The position is for 3
years and open from October 2012. The place will remain open until filled.
Please contact with CV Dr. Apostolos Voulgarakis,
apostolos.voulgarakis@nasa.gov.

We expect to have about 10 PhD studentships available for UK students, to
study as part of our PhD programme in Atmospheres, Oceans and Climate at
the Department of Meteorology, University of Reading.
The Department, which forms part of the University's School of
Mathematical and Physical Sciences, performs world-leading research across
a wide range of subjects in meteorology and its related disciplines,
including weather systems, air quality, climate (and earth system)
science, earth observation, data assimilation, space weather and
oceanography.
General information on the PhD programme can be found at
http://www.met.reading.ac.uk/pg-research/
with particular topics available for October 2012 entry listed at
http://www.met.reading.ac.uk/pg-research/pgropportunities.html
Successful applications will normally have, or expect to attain, at least
an upper second class degree in a physical science subject or in
mathematics. Prior knowledge in meteorology, or its related disciplines,
is not required.
We have an Open Day on Wednesday 29 February 2012 - to be considered for
an invitation to this Open Day, applications must be submitted by 15
February 2012. However, later applications will also be welcomed.
Information on funding opportunities for non-UK students can be found at
