We seek to appoint a field support technician to support teaching and research programmes within the Department of Geography at King's College London. The role will involve providing technical support for individuals, courses, student groups, research projects and fieldwork events within the Department.
The successful candidate will be an experienced technician, confident in working independently and with competing demands. He/she will have experience of working with a variety of equipment and machinery and will have an excellent knowledge of health and safety in a workshop laboratory setting and fieldwork environment.
The role holder will have sound communication skills and have the ability to work effectively with a wide range of people. A flexible, creative approach to problem solving and the ability to provide technical innovation to engineer solutions is also essential.
We wish to appoint an enthusiastic, dynamic and appropriately qualified technical expert to support the environmental research, monitoring and teaching activities of the Environmental Monitoring and Modelling (EMM) Research Group. The post holder will collaborate with academics, researchers, other technical staff and students to design, build, deploy and maintain installations of sensors, data loggers and other instrumentation that supports work in the fields of atmospheric, ecological, geomorphological, hydrological, and remote sensing science. Work is conducted both in laboratory and at UK and overseas field sites. The post offers exciting opportunities for deploying state-of-the-art equipment, for contributing to innovative developments in instrument and installation design, and for involvement in world-leading scientific research. More details on the work and facilities of the EMM Research Group can be found at http://www.kcl.ac.uk/sspp/departments/geography/research/emm/themes.aspx

Open PhD position in Chemistry-Climate-Modeling at the Institute for
Atmospheric and Climate Science, ETH Zurich, Switzerland.
We invite applications for a 3-yr PhD position within the project
"Modeling and experiments of land-surface interactions with
atmospheric chemistry and climate II (MAIOLICA-II)" funded by the ETH
Competence Center of Environment and Sustainability. The main goal of
this project is to investigate atmospheric methane concentrations in a
changing climate including feedbacks among the terrestrial biosphere,
atmospheric composition and climate.
The PhD student will apply a state-of-the-art global chemistry-climate
model to investigate key processes driving the observed variability of
atmospheric CH4 concentrations in the recent past and to make
projections of future CH4 concentrations. The main tasks will be to
adapt the existing model configuration to the requirements of the
study as well as to perform and analyse the model simulations.
Requirements are a MSc degree (or equivalent) in atmospheric, climate
or environmental sciences, mathematics, or physics. Applicants should
have deep interest in the modeling of physical and chemical processes
in the atmosphere at all scales. Some experience in numerical
chemistry or climate modeling will be a plus. Good knowledge of
mathematical fundamentals and good programming skills (FORTRAN-95 as
well as IDL, NCL or comparable languages) are required. Applicants are
expected to be fluent in English.
Entrance upon: The position can be taken as soon as possible.
Please e-mail application letters and all relevant documents
(curriculum vitae, names of 2 references, diploma) in one pdf file to
Dr. Andrea Stenke (<andrea.stenke@env.ethz.ch>). For informal
enquiries concerning this position, please contact Dr. Andrea Stenke
(+41 44 633 3625).
