The Institute for Climate and Atmospheric Science within the School
of Earth and Environment at the University of Leeds, UK is
looking for an excellent candidate for a NERC-funded PhD CASE
studentship with the UK Met Office.
Project Summary
In West Africa the timing of monsoon onset is one of the most
important factors for agricultural planning, affecting large parts of
the population in this highly vulnerable region. Current attempts to
forecast the onset date using statistical tools and/or dynamical
models show low skill. Past research suggests that the onset is
controlled by a range of factors including sea-surface temperatures,
soil moisture and the strength and position of the Saharan heat low.
However, the interplay of these processes and how to best represent
them in dynamical models are still not fully understood. This
studentship will use recent data from field campaigns along with the
Met Office Unified Model to investigate the physical mechanisms of
the monsoon onset and how to improve predictions on seasonal
timescales. The project will contribute to the DfID-Met Office
Climate Science Research Partnership (CSRP) and the Africa Process
Evaluation Group (PEG) at the Met Office. The shared supervision
between Leeds and the Met Office will provide strong support for the
PhD candidate and ensure application of the results in forecast
operations. This way the project is expected to contribute to
improving food security within West African communities in the long run.
Please note that only UK students are eligible.

The Climate Sciences Department of the Earth Sciences Division has an
exciting opportunity for a postdoctoral researcher to quantify and reduce
uncertainties in the carbon cycle and other biogeochemical feedbacks in
global models of the terrestrial ecosystem. The work will be part of the
DOE-sponsored Climate Science for a Sustainable Energy Future (CSSEF)
project. This project seeks to deliver Earth system models that are
genuinely predictive at the regional level. Developing the scientific and
computational capacity to produce these simulations will require
transformative rather than evolutionary change. The postdoc will join a
team to accelerate the incorporation of new process data and observations
into climate models with a focus on developing new methods for rapid
evaluation of the calibrated models and incorporating formal methods for
quantifying simulation uncertainty.
This position offers an excellent environment for working with a highly
skilled interdisciplinary team and will require strong motivation and
excellent oral and written communication skills. Lawrence Berkley National
Laboratory is a renowned center of scientific expertise in many facets of
climate-related fundamental and applied science.

Hello all,
There is opportunity for two (2) visiting atmospheric scientists or
meteorologists to spend 1 or 2 years teaching on the Meteorology and
Climate Science program at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and
Technology (KNUST), Kumasi, Ghana.
The position needs to be filled for the 2012-2013 academic year, to replace
staff who recently are on study leave. The applicant would need to have, or
be about to get, their PhD in Atmospheric Physics or Meteorology. A post
doctoral experience will be an added advantage. He should be able to teach
at both undergraduate and graduate level. Accommodation on campus will be
provided and salary is attractive.
Colleagues planning to spend a year or two on sabbatical leave in Africa
are warmly welcome.
It might be an exciting opportunity for someone who has just graduated
with their PhD and wants to travel to Africa. Anyone interested in applying
can contact Professor Sylvester Danuor (danuor@yahoo.com), the Head,
Department of Physics, (cc directly to me).
Kind regards,
--
