Lecturer in Atmospheric Science
The National Centre for Atmospheric Science (NCAS) and the Institute for Climate and Atmospheric Sciences (ICAS) are seeking to appoint a Lecturer in Atmospheric Science with speciality in radar observations to take advantage of a new radar system. NCAS has recently acquired a mobile Doppler dual-polarisation X-band radar which is ideally suited for research in clouds and precipitation. We welcome applications from high calibre candidates who have strong research backgrounds making use of radar observations in the areas of mesoscale weather systems, dynamics and microphysics of clouds, and/or atmospheric boundary layers.
You will be expected to make a significant contribution to the research profile of the NCAS Weather Directorate and ICAS and to their management and development. In particular you will be expected to make full use of the new X-band radar and to provide/develop strategic leadership in the area of radar-based research. You will also contribute to teaching and research student supervision in ICAS. You will work closely with the NCAS Facility for Ground-based Atmospheric Measurement (FGAM) Radar Instrument Scientist, Dr Lindsay Bennett, and other NCAS Weather and ICAS scientists involved with the weather radar.
You should have a doctoral degree in a physical science. You are expected to have a strong publication record, show evidence of research income generation, if appropriate, together with teaching experience or potential, and show strong vision for the future.
The post is a joint appointment of NCAS (60%) and the ICAS, School of Earth and Environment (40%), University of Leeds.

*2 years EMBRACE post doctoral position: Implementation/evaluation of a
physically based soil water flow representation for modelling large
scale land surface hydrological processes in the IPSL climate model,
LMDZOR.*
The interest of the climate projections depends highly on the quality of
the modeling tools used. This is the reason why modeling groups devote
long term efforts for their improvement in an iterative approach
coupling implementation/evaluation and development. Based on a decade of
research on cloud processes, a new version of the LMDZ atmospheric
general circulation model has been developed that corresponds to a
complete recasting of the parametrization of turbulence, convection and
clouds. With the more tested LMDZ5A, atmospheric physical package, this
new version, named LMDZ5B, has been used for the realization of climate
change projections with the IPSL climate model (IPSL-CM) for the CMIP5
exercise
A new hydrological scheme referring to a physically based soil water
flow representation following the Richard diffusion equation is being
implemented in the IPSL-CM in order to substitute the 2 layers Choisnel
scheme in the ORCHIDEE land surface model, coupled to LMDZ. The scope is
to improve the representation of the interactions with the continental
surface, whose impact on the regional and global climate is clearly
demonstrated (Koster et al. 2004) and. eventually improve on the
reliability of the detection/attribution of extreme events such as
summer droughts or heat waves. The preliminary tests done with
simplified configurations show a clear impact on bias common to numerous
climate models (e.g. warm biais at mid-latitude in summer) as well as on
the realism of the near surface meteorology. (cheruy et al. 2012)
The purposes of this EMBRACE (_http://www.smhi.se/embrace_) FP-7 funded
contract are fourfold:
*
in depth evaluation of the hydrological module coupled with the
STOMATE dynamical vegetation module and the LMDZ GCM, at various
spatial scales from local to continental,
*
improve on the defects shown by the preliminary evaluation,
particularly working on spacialization of key parameters such as
hydrodynamical properties of soils, soil depths, root profiles,
links between ground water and routing. The coupling with a.
description of the root growth will be eventually addressed in
collaboration with the experts of carbon cycle in the ORCHIDEE model.
*
contribute to the analysis of the soil moisture/climate feedbacks in
the framework of the GLACE-CMIP5 experiment (e.g. Seneviratne et al.
2012) and to the characterization of summer droughts in the present
and the future climates (e.g. Bertrand et al. 2012)
* Help in the writing of reports for the EMBRACE is part of the job.
The successful applicant will hold a PhD or equivalent qualification in
a relevant field, a research track record in one or more of the
following areas: atmospheric modeling, coupled climate modeling, land
surface modeling. Applicants should also be able to demonstrate
programming skills in a Unix/Linux environment (e.g. Fortran 9X, shell
scripts, R) as well as possessing excellent written and oral
communication skills.
