PhD scholarships available for Climate System Science
Deadline August 22nd for non-Australian/New Zealand permanent residents.
Deadline October 10th for Australian and NewZealand permanent residents.
The ARC Centre of Excellence for Climate System Science is Australia?s
premier University led initiative comprising 5 Universities, CSIRO, the
Bureau of Meteorology and multiple internationally outstanding research
organizations.
The Centre has a series of PhD scholarships available. Based at the
University of New South Wales, successful candidates can expect to
collaborate with partners in the Centre of Excellence in Australia and
overseas. Expressions of interest in any area of Centre-focus are
encouraged. Details of possible supervisors, and their areas of
expertise, are available at <www.climatescience.org.au>.
A targeted scholarship focused on terrestrial processes, and
particularly on how crops can be parameterized in regional or global
climate models is also available. A second targeted scholarship based on
the modelling of urban climates is also available.
Successful applicants will have an outstanding undergraduate record,
with a first class honours (or equivalent) or a Masters (by research)
degree. It is most likely that they will be strong in quantitative sciences.
For outstanding students without Australian or New Zealand permanent
residency, there is a deadline of August 22nd.
Please contact Professor Andy Pitman (<a.pitman@unsw.edu.au>) for
further information. Applicants that find topics or supervisors of
interest at <www.climatescience.org.au> based at one of the Centre?s
partner institutions are welcome to contact Professor Pitman for advice,
or contact other researchers directly.

School of Geosciences
University of Edinburgh
Lecturer/Senior Lecturer
The School of Geosciences aims to appoint 1 to 3 lecturers/senior
lecturers in Earth Systems Science, Glaciology or Chemical Oceanography.
Candidates should indicate on their application which lectureship they
wish to be considered for and how their existing research and teaching
experience would contribute to the role. Academic excellence will be the
principle selection criteria for ranking for all lectureships.
Earth System Science: Earth system science bridges across all individual
research areas within the Global Change Research Institute and
transcends discipline-based science by bringing together all the natural
sciences. Candidates should demonstrate that they have world-class
science to better understand past, present or future changes in the
Earth system through measurements, theory, and computational modelling.
We particularly encourage applications from candidates who could connect
existing research areas within the Institute and seek world class
expertise in 1) Observations and modelling of chemistry-climate
interactions; 2) Atmospheric and/or ocean dynamics in the contemporary
climate system; 3) Role of cloud physics and chemistry in the
contemporary climate system; and 4) Data assimilation to understand
Earth system behaviour.

Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Satellite Climatology
This post involves the development, validation and analysis of climate data sets derived from satellites spanning several generations. The thematic focus of this position is on cloud physical properties and on radiative land surface temperature. The duties include the development of advanced retrieval algorithms for Meteosat First and Second Generation satellite data using radiative transfer modelling, the validation of satellite products with high quality ground observations and the quantification of uncertainties, in particular over the complex terrain such as the Alps. You will publish your work in scientific journals and reports and present the findings at project meetings, national and international conferences.
Alongside being a proactive team player, the applicant should also have a university degree in natural sciences and have completed a dissertation in the field of meteorology, climatology or physics. Ideally, the candidate should be experienced in satellite climatology, radiation and cloud processes and Alpine climatology. The candidate must be familiar with UNIX, handling large and complex data sets and be able to program in several languages (such as Fortran, C, IDL and R). The applicant should enjoy converting scientific findings into experimental products and fostering their application in the context of climate services. The successful candidate will be expected to possess good verbal and written communication skills both in English and German.
We are seeking a motivated and communicative person, in return for which we offer a diverse and interesting post in an ambitious enterprise and a multifaceted and fascinating environment at the interface between research and application, as well as leading-edge tools and opportunities for continuous professional development.
This post is limited to two years and is based in Zurich.
Please submit your application no later than 17 September 2012 to the federal online portal
www.stelle.admin.ch (Interface in German).
