Experienced Researcher Position - Modelling palaeo-methane concentrations
Limit of Tenure Applies*
Deadline for Applications: *24th February 2012*
Job Reference Number: *LC11842
*
We are looking to fill a 17-month Marie-Curie Experienced Researcher
(ER) post within the Marie-Curie Initial Training Network GREENCYCLESII
(www.greencycles.org <http://www.greencycles.org>) at the University of
Cambridge, Departments of Geography and Chemistry. The post-holder will
investigate the question of why atmospheric CH4 concentrations remained
low during the last interglacial (LIG) period, despite exceptionally
warm conditions in the Arctic. This period is relatively well
characterised in terms of data, and so provides a strong test of current
models. Furthermore, understanding gained of the dominant process(es)
during this time will likely be important for our ability to simulate
future methane concentrations. The project will utilise two detailed
land surface models (HYBRID and LPX-Bern, working with Dr Friend in
Geography) to simulate methane (and other important trace gases for
atmospheric oxidative capacity such as isoprene) emissions, and a
comprehensive model of global atmospheric chemistry (UKCA, working with
Prof. Pyle in Chemistry). The land surface models will be run to provide
boundary conditions for the chemistry model at different time-slices
over the past 130 ky. Simulated methane concentrations will be compared
with ice core measurements. The project will also examine the ability of
the models to simulate the CO2 ice core record and, if time allows,
simulations will be undertaken in which the surface and atmospheric
models are fully coupled. Anticipated outputs are significantly improved
understanding of controls on methane concentrations during the LIG,
and/or recommendations for future model development. The successful
candidate has the opportunity to develop key modelling and data
interpretation skills, using state-of-the-art terrestrial physics,
ecology, chemistry, and climate models.
To be eligible for this position you must fulfil the Marie Curie
requirements for Experienced Researchers, viz: on appointment you must
(i) have a PhD degree or (ii) have at least four years of full-time
equivalent research experience, after obtaining the degree which
formally allowed you to embark on a doctorate. In both cases, you must
be within the first five years of your research career. UK applicants
must have been resident outside the UK for three of the four years prior
to appointment. Non-UK applicants must not have resided in the UK for
more than 12 months in the three years prior to appointment. More
details about eligibility criteria see:
http://www.greencycles.org/vacancies/criteria/
The start date should be no later than June 2012. Salary (subject to
country-specific cost of living adjustment): Euro 53,000/year plus
mobility, travel and career allowances for more details see:
http://cordis.europa.eu/fp7/.
For post description and additional information see:
http://www.greencycles.org/vacancies. Enquiries about the positions
should be sent to Dr Andrew Friend: adf10@cam.ac.uk
<mailto:adf10@cam.ac.uk>
Applications should include a full CV, cover letter, completed
eligibility form (see:

Dynamics of Himalayan Glaciers from 30 years of Earth Observation
The Institut de Physique du Globe de Strasbourg and the French National
Center for Space Studies (CNES) are offering a PhD position to study
Himalayan glaciers using Earth Observation datasets.
Project Outline
Climate warming over the 20th century has caused drastic changes in
mountain glaciers globally, and of the Himalayan glaciers in particular.
Recent controversies around the future of the Himalayan glaciers have
highlighted the need for further studies of the past and present state
of these glaciers. The candidate will use a 30-years archive of Earth
Observation dataset (radar and optical sensors), as well as novel
missions, to construct maps of change in glaciers? properties and
glaciers? flow and to link these changes with climate variables.
Governance
The project is funded by the French National Centre for Space Studies
(CNES) for 3 years. The work will be supervised by Noel Gourmelen at the
Institut de Physique du Globe, University of Strasbourg, France and by
Emmanuel Trouv? at the LISTIC, Polytech Annecy-Chamb?ry, France. The
student will have the opportunity to join a field campaign in the
Himalayas as part of this project.
Required Qualifications
The student should have a master, or equivalent, in fields related to
Geophysics, Earth Sciences, Computer Science, Physics and Glaciology.
Experience in the use of Earth Observation dataset and signal/image
processing will be beneficial.
To Apply
Prospective candidates should contact Noel Gourmelen prior to March
16^th 2012. Final application will have to be made with the CNES by
March 31^st .

Max Planck Institute for Chemistry
PhD dissertation project Global Modelling of Trace Substances
Tentative title of the thesis:
Investigation of atmospheric transport and chemistry of organic
pollutants using an Earth System Model
Organic pollutants? fate and distribution in the environment is strongly
influenced by the substance poperties. The accumulation of pollutants in
terrestrial and marine food chains is one of the implications hereof
(multicompartmental substances).
We aim to improve the predictability of fate and distribution of organic
pollutants in the environment by means of numeric modelling. The project
aims to study the input of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and other
anthropogenic organic pollutants into ecosystems using a global
atmosphere model, upon adaptation to substance specific aerosol and
multicompartment processes. Atmospheric transport statistics will be
analysed under various scenarios of emissions and climate change with a
focus on high latitudes. The model has been applied for similar studies
previously.
The project work has multidisciplinary aspects (scientific programming,
chemistry and geo-sciences) and stands in the context of environmental
management and policy making.
The project will be integrated into the International Max Planck
Research School for Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics. The doctoral
thesis may be written in English or German.
Requirements:
Applicants should have obtained a degree (M.Sc. or equivalent) in
science, mathematics or engineering with a score clearly above average
at a school located in the E.U., or at an equivalent institution and
should be fluent in English. Experience in a higher programming language
(preferably Fortran90/95), in UNIX/Linux and in numerical modelling are
advantageous.
The Max Planck Society wishes to increase the number of female
coworkers, and applications by women are particularly encouraged. The
Max Planck Society has set itself the objective of employing more
persons with disabilities. Applications from persons with disabilities
are expressly encouraged.
Applications <http://www.atmosphere.mpg.de/enid/application> can be
submitted any time, preferentially before February 29, 2012. Please send
your application electronically to

University of Groningen, the Netherlands
Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences
Faculty Positions (Full Professor and Tenure Track Assistant Professor)
Atmospheric Composition Modelling and Observations
The Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences has vacancies for two
positions in the atmospheric greenhouse gases group of the Centre for
Isotope Research (CIO), which is part of the Energy and Sustainability
Research Institute Groningen (ESRIG). One of the positions is a
modeller, the other an observationalist.
The first candidate is expected to lead this group, and to extend the
present, mainly observation-oriented group by a substantial modelling
effort. The second candidate is expected to lead the present atmospheric
observational programme of the CIO, directed to greenhouse gases and
related tracers. Their experience and innovative ideas, and their
fruitful interaction should develop the group into a leading
international research group in this field. They have to be able to base
the work to a large extent on external funding.
Both are excellent teachers who can motivate students of different
disciplines and will develop new courses on specific topics about this
subject in the BSc and the MSc programmes. Teaching duties include the
supervision of bachelor, master and PhD students.
