*Vacancy at Environment Canada: POST-DOCTORAL RESEARCH FELLOW IN COUPLED
ATMOSPHERE-WAVE-OCEAN MODELING FOR SEARCH AND RESCUE*
Environment Canada (EC) is seeking a highly motivated and qualified
coupled atmosphere-ocean modeler to contribute to the Canadian
"High-resolution ensemble prediction system for Search and Rescue"
project. The work will initially focus on coupling a wave and
atmosphere-ocean-ice model. Incorporation of this coupled system into a
regional ensemble atmospheric forecast system will follow. The
resulting ensemble forecast system will be used to develop probabilistic
forecasts of search and rescue target locations and wave heights. This
is a unique opportunity to carry out inter-disciplinary research in an
operational environment and to interact with scientists from EC and
Fisheries and Oceans Canada including the Canadian Coast Guard, which
can broaden future career options.
*Essential Qualifications:* A recent Ph.D. in ocean, coastal, or
atmospheric sciences or a closely related field is required. Experience
with data processing, and knowledge of programming (Fortran, UNIX
environment) are also required. Demonstrated ability to communicate
results in the form of scholarly articles and the ability to work in a
collaborative team are essential.
*Desirable Qualifications:* Experience in ensemble prediction methods,
coupled modeling, running complex models on high-performance computers,
analyzing large datasets and verification statistics are all important
and will be considered as assets. Skills in languages and programs such
as Python, Matlab, R, and IDL are also important. Since EC is a
bilingual work place, fluency in English and French would also be an asset.
*Details:* The successful candidate will be located at Environment
Canada in Montreal QC or Halifax NS. The position is available for 3
years pending a satisfactory review of progress after year 1. The start
date is June 2012 or shortly after. Salary in the range of $50-60k and
health coverage are guaranteed for the duration of the appointment. EC
is an equal opportunity employer.
*Application:* To apply, please send a cover letter explaining how you
meet the qualifications, a current curriculum vitae together with a list
of publications, names of three persons who may act as references, and a
brief statement of interest, to the address below. Review of
applications will begin 30 April 2012.

National Supercomputer Centre (NSC) seek a personto lead the effort of
enabling community access to Earth System Grid Climate Data.
We are adding an ESG (Earth System Grid) Datanode/Gateway (www.esgf.org)
for community access to climate data and are looking
for the right person to lead this effort.
The Datanode will host large amounts of climate data, initially from the
CORDEX and EMBRACE projects. The work is done in close cooperation with
climate data centers in Europe and USA.

modeling. The College of Natural Science and Mathematics, Department of
Atmospheric Sciences at the University of Alaska Fairbanks is accepting
applications for graduate student scholarships in the Atmospheric
Sciences. We are seeking a highly qualified Ph.D. applicant interested
in pursing research with WRF/Chem on ship-emission impacts on air
quality and visibility in Glacier Bay under current and future climate
conditions. Applicants should have strong backgrounds in mathematics,
physics, and atmospheric sciences or related fields. Preference will be
given to candidates with experience in mesoscale air quality and/or
climate modeling, unix, and programming (fortran, ncl). The graduate
students will have access to the Arctic Region Supercomputing Center,
and data from observational networks. As many of the research activities
are carried out in close cooperation with scientists all over the world,
the graduate student can gain international experience. For further
information on the research projects contact Nicole M?lders (molders at
gi.alaska.edu, cmoelders at alaska.edu) and see
http://www.gi.alaska.edu/~molders/. Application for admission must be
carried out electronically at http://www.uaf.edu/admissions/. For
further information on our Department of Atmospheric Sciences interested

Dear all
Announcing the IMAGe, NCAR Theme of the Year Workshop on Uncertainty in Climate Change Research: An Integrated Approach, August 6 - 17, NCAR, Boulder, CO of which I am a co-chair.
Uncertainty is present in all phases of climate change research from the physical science (e.g., projections of future climate) to the impacts through to the effort to make decisions regarding mitigation and adaptation across different spatial scales. This theme will embrace all aspects of uncertainty in climate change research, providing a pedagogic whole for students, post-docs, and early career scientists interested in any and all aspects of climate change. One central focus will be the need to understand the strands of uncertainty throughout the climate change problem in order to focus effectively in any one area.
Students, post-docs and early career scientists are invited to apply. All travel expenses (air fare, hotel, meals, etc.) will be covered for the selected participants.
For more information and to apply, please visit:
https://www2.image.ucar.edu/event/uncertainty-climate-change-research-integrated-approach
Please cascade this to anyone who might be interested in applying.
Regards
Hayley Fowler
