Postdoctoral research position in modeling aviation impacts on global atmospheric composition and climate
Yale University School of Forestry and Environmental Studies invites applications for a postdoctoral associate position in global chemistry-climate modeling. The successful candidate will work on modeling the effects of emissions from civil aviation on global and regional climate. The project involves performing climate response simulations and developing and improving the simulation of ozone chemistry, aviation gas-aerosol interactions, and aerosol indirect effects on ice clouds in a global climate model. The initial appointment is for one year with the possibility of renewal based on performance and continuation of funding. Compensation is commensurate with experience, and includes benefits. The applicant must have a Ph.D. in atmospheric science, physics or mathematics with experience in global chemistry-climate modeling. Advanced scientific programming skills are essential. To apply, send a C.V. and brief statement of interest to Nadine Unger at nadine.unger@yale.edu<mailto:nadine.unger@yale.edu>. Start date August 1 2012.

The Climate Service Center in Hamburg (Helmholtz-Zentrum Geesthacht)
invites
applications for
*Two Scientific researchers m/f*
*code-no. 2012/CSC 1*
in the EU projects PEGASOS and IMPACT2C.These are fixed-term positions
until 30th September 2015. The place of work is Hamburg.
Your tasks:
You will work in an interdisciplinary team of international researchers.
PEGASOS:
The project aims at improving the understanding of the interactions of
climate and atmospheric chemistry under the influence of aerosols.
The results will be translated into concrete policy recommendations for
European countries. Your duties in the project will include the modeling
of those interactions with the regional climate model REMO-HAM,
concentrating on the interactions with and without aerosol feedbacks.
IMPACT2C:
The aim of the project is the assessment of the possible impacts of a 2
degree temperature increase on different socio-economic sectors in
different regions in and outside of Europe. Your task will be to conduct
regional climate simulations with the regional climate models REMO and
REMO-NH,
which will serve as a basis for the assessment of risks and vulnerabilities
for the different regions and sectors.
You will also contribute to the analysis of the model results.
Both positions require strong communication skills.
The candidate should have the ability to communicate with the scientific
partner
institutes as well as with members ofother scientific and non-scientific
disciplines
Your profile:
- Master or Diploma in Physics, Meteorology, or a related discipline,
with good to very good academic grade.
- Experience and expertise in climate, climate modeling, meteorology,
aerosol physics and atmospheric chemistry
- good unix/linux knowledge
- experience with scientific data formats(netcdf, grib)
- ideally experience with large data amounts and large-capacity computers
- good communication skills
- ability to work independently and to present the results
- Good knowledge in spoken and written English and ideally also in German.
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 of legal requirements.
For further information please do not hesitate to contact Dr. Daniela
Jacob (daniela.jacob@hzg.de).
Please send your application indicating job offer *code no. 2012/CSC 1*
to our human
resources department or to personal@hzg.de. Please include your CV, a
statement of
interest and copies of master/diploma/PhD university certificates in a
single pdf-file.
Applications shall be sent before June 1st 2012.

Two post-doctoral positions in land-atmosphere modeling with a focus on (1) carbon dynamics of land use and land-cover change and (2) climate interactions and forest management.
HOME INSTITUTION
Laboratoire des Sciences du Climat et de l'Environnement (LSCE, Gif-sur-Yvette). LSCE is a joint research unit of the Commissariat ? L?Energie Atomique (CEA), the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) and a regional university (UVSQ). CEA and CNRS are two major research agencies in France. LSCE employs 90 permanent researchers, 60 technical and administrative staff and over 100 PhD students and post-docs covering 30 different nationalities. Their research mission is to contribute to a better understanding of the interactions between human activities in the Earth System, environment and climate dynamics at different time scales.
LSCE is divided into three research departments, dealing with: tracers in the environment, climate analysis and modelling, and global biogeochemistry. Interactions between these departments creates a stimulating intellectual environment. The teams, in which the successful candidates will be employed, are interdisciplinary and aim at bringing more and better life sciences into climate and biogeochemistry modelling and improving the representation of land-cover dynamics and impacts on the carbon cycle. In this respect, the positions will open new synergies between two out of three departments of the LSCE.
DESCRIPTION OF RESPONSIBILITIES
Position 1 will conduct research as part of LSCE?s involvement in the EU FP7 GEOCARBON research program. The candidate will be involved with model simulations that concentrate on the ORCHIDEE dynamic global vegetation model. Carbon fluxes for forests and pastureland will be tracked from various land-cover change scenarios, and the transformation of carbon from forests to product pools. Satellite remote sensing and land-use statistics (i.e., FAO) will be used within a model data assimilation and benchmarking framework. The position is available for up to 24 months with a possibility of an extension.
Position 2 will strengthen an ERC research team that aims to quantify and understand the role of forest management in mitigating climate change. Specifically, the team wants to challenge the current focus on the carbon cycle and replace it with a total climate impact approach. Climate response of forest will be quantified by means of albedo, evapotranspiration, greenhouse gas sources and sinks and their resulting climate feedback mechanisms. The successful candidate will merge and test four new model developments (two biophysical, one biogeochemical and one anthropogenic module) and prepare coupled simulations. The position is available for up to 30 months.
The major focus of both positions is placed on research and to a lesser extent supervision of research students. The successful candidates will thus reinforce and widen the expertise of the team while strengthening synergies within the LSCE. Research duties include literature study, data processing, model development (ORCHIDEE), model validation (ORCHIDEE-IPSL; a coupled climate land-surface model), participation in scientific conferences and publication in peer reviewed international journals. The successful candidates will be encouraged to generate external funding in her/his area and as such contribute to further establishing the team.
QUALIFICATIONS
Given the interdisciplinary nature of the research we are seeking for highly motivated individuals with a Ph.D. and broad interest in natural sciences, more specifically, forest ecology (biogeochemistry, land management, ecosystem services), climatology (boundary layer, albedo, roughness length, cloud formation) and their mutual interactions. Rather than for a specific training, we are looking for a candidate who is able to demonstrate her/his ability to publish peer-reviewed papers and communicate in English. Priority will be given to candidates who can demonstrate experience in programming, statistical analysis and manipulating large data sets. Of special relevance is proven ability to be dynamic, creative, open and work collaboratively with a team of scientists.
REQUIRED CONTENT OF THE APPLICATION
There are no specified forms. All applications and inquiries should be sent to Sebastiaan Luyssaert (Sebastiaan.Luyssaert@lsce.ipsl.fr), Ben Poulter (benjamin.poulter@lsce.ipsl.fr) and Philippe Peylin (philippe.peylin@lsce.ipsl.fr). In your cover letter, specify whether the application is for Position 1 and/or Position 2, and include a curriculum vita, a 1-page statement of research interests and expertise, and names, addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses of three references. Position is available three months after selection of the candidate and will remain open until filled. Continuous review of applications starts June 8th, 2012. Salary follows national directives and is adjusted for work experience.
