University Lecturer in Climate Science
Department of Earth Sciences
University of Oxford
(in association with Linacre College)
http://www.earth.ox.ac.uk/vacancies/ul_climate_science
The Department of Earth Sciences at Oxford University proposes to appoint a University Lecturer in Climate Science from 1st September 2012 or as soon as possible thereafter. The successful candidate will work at the Department of Earth Sciences and will be offered a Non-Tutorial Fellowship at Linacre College under arrangements described in the further particulars. The salary will be on a scale currently from ?42,883 per annum. The appointment will be initially for five years at which point, upon completion of a successful review, the post holder will be eligible for reappointment to the retiring age.
The department is searching broadly in areas of climate science that complement existing expertise in the department and within Oxford. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: modelling of biogeochemical cycles or of other aspects of the climate system; observation or modelling of cryosphere processes and the role of ice in climate; and study of critical components of the carbon cycle.
The successful candidate will be expected to carry out research, at an international level, that will contribute to the Department?s research reputation, to secure research funding, to teach, supervise and examine undergraduate and postgraduate students, and to participate in and contribute to the administration of the Department.
The successful candidate will have a strong background in climate science and/or related areas of the Earth Sciences, including a PhD, evidence of substantial research and ability to lead an internationally excellent research programme. Ability to teach effectively a range of topics within the fields of the Earth Sciences degree courses and to supervise graduate students are also essential.
Further particulars, containing details of the application procedure and duties, are available for download from http://www.earth.ox.ac.uk/vacancies/ul_climate_science
The closing date for applications is 18th May 2012. Please note that applicants are asked to contact their referees, who should write directly to the Department so that references arrive by the closing date.

PhD Position (m/f)
code no. 2012/KS 6
The place of employment is Geesthacht, Germany.
The Helmholtz-Zentrum Geesthacht, near Hamburg, and in Teltow, near
Berlin, conducts materials and coastal research. You can find more
information at <http://www.hzg.de>.
The Institute for Coastal Research in Geesthacht, near Hamburg, Germany,
invites applications for a 3-year PhD Position (m/f), ideally starting
in July 1st 2012, within the coordinated project GENUS II (Geochemistry
and Ecology of the Namibian up-welling system).
The PhD position will be involved in the sub-project entitled 'Influence
of large-scale climate variability on upwelling regimes off the Namibian
coast: implications for past and future climates’. The GENUS-II
project is the second-phase continuation of a collaboration between
several research institutions and universities in Northern Germany. It
is funded by the German Ministry of Research for a period of three
years. The general aim of the project GENUS-II is to understand and to
model the interaction between climate changes, the geochemical cycles of
nutrients, the fluxes of climate-relevant gases and ecosystem structure
in the up-welling system off the Namibian coast, as an important example
for other up-welling areas around the world. The contribution of the
Helmholtz-Zentrum Geesthacht to the project involves the joint
statistical analyses of already existing global and regional simulations
with atmosphere, ocean and climate models, with different configurations
and spatial resolutions, and covering a range from the last 50 years to
the past millennium. The main goal is the identification and
understanding of large-scale climate processes that are relevant for the
modulation of up-welling regimes, and the estimation of past changes
over the past millennium and expected future changes in the current
century. These studies will be carried out in collaboration with
geochemists, biologists, geologists, and oceanographers working in the
project partner institutions.
The Helmholtz-Zentrum Geesthacht invites highly motivated candidates
with a basic knowledge of the field of climate sciences, preferably with
a background in meteorology, oceanography or climatology. The adequate
candidate has initial demonstrated experience in the application of
statistics to analyse and interpret long climatic or environmental data
sets and a strong interest in expanding his/her experience in this
field. She/he has good organisation skills. Some experience with
Unix-based computers and basic programming skills in modern FORTRAN and
R will be very positively considered, and it is expected that these
abilities will be considerably expanded along this project. The
candidate should have, or be motivated to acquire, good written and oral
communication skills in English to publish his/her work in papers in
scientific journals and presenting materials at science workshops and
scientific conferences. The successful candidate is expected to present
his/her PhD dissertation at the University of Hamburg during the last
stages of the project.
Contact person at Helmholtz-Zentrum Geesthacht: Dr. Birgit H?nicke
(<birgit.huenicke@hzg.de>), (Department Coastal Impacts) and Dr. Eduardo
Zorita (<eduardo.zorita@hzg.de>).
We offer an appropriate salary related to TV-AVH as well as the usual
public sector social benefits.
The advancement of equality at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Geesthacht goes
without saying; in particular, we are striving to increase the
percentage of women in the science sector. Severely disabled persons
with equal qualifications will be considered preferentially within the
framework o flegal requirements.
Please send your application indicating job offer code no. 2012/KS 6 to
Max-Planck-Stra?e 1, 21502 Geesthacht, Germany, or to the
e-mail-address: <personal@hzg.de>. Please include your CV, a statement
of interest and the names and addresses of three references.

Lancaster University (Lancaster Environment Centre)
Post-doctoral research associate in atmospheric chemistry: Trace gas emissions from Amazonia (CLAIRE-UK) (Ref: A416)
Salary: ?25,251 - ?29,249
Closing Date: Monday 4 June 2012; Interview Date: Tuesday 10 July 2012
You will work on the emissions of reactive biogenic volatile organic compounds from a tropical forest canopy to the atmosphere. This will involve conducting measurements of fluxes using an Ionicon proton transfer reaction mass spectrometer and other instruments at a remote forest site in Brazilian Amazonia, three hours from Manaus. Our aim is to obtain these fluxes over a period of 12 months, and the post-holder will therefore be required to spend several extended periods at the site.
You must have, or expect to shortly be awarded, a PhD (or equivalent) in a relevant subject, have experience of field work in challenging circumstances and be able to fulfill all essential elements of the person specification. Good numerical skills and an aptitude for operating and trouble-shooting complex instrumentation are essential. Experience of micrometeorological flux measurement techniques and/or mass spectrometry would be advantageous.
This is a full time post, available from 1 October 2012 for a fixed-term period of two years. It is funded through an NERC research grant held between Lancaster University (Professor Nick Hewitt) and the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology, Edinburgh (Drs Eiko Nemitz and Ben Langford).
