Research Position in Hydrology at Uni Bjerknes Centre, Bergen, Norway
A 3-year research position in hydrology, with a possible extension to permanent position, is available at Uni Research AS, a partner of the Bjerknes Centre for Climate Research (BCCR).
Uni Research is expanding its activities related to Climate Services in Norway, Europe and several developing nations. We therefore seek to strengthen our staff with a hydrologist who has expertise in hydrological modeling that will support the activities of the climate services centre at Uni Research and who is eager to develop and extend climate services applications in the global community.
Duties include:
* Support the hydrological modelling and hydroclimatic analysis activities of the Climate Services group. This includes running hydrological models based on downscaled regional climate scenarios, writing reports and peer-reviewed publications.
* Communication with various project partners and stakeholders in academia, industry, government and other climate-information users.
* Support activities in research projects run by scientists from Uni Research and the BCCR.
Applicants must have a PhD or equivalent level of experience in Hydrology, Atmospheric or Ocean Sciences, Physics, Mathematics, Statistics, Engineering or similar at the time of appointment.
Good communication and writing skills in English and a desire to engage in international collaborative research is essential as is experience with data analysis and visualization tools applied to hydrological modelling problems. Programming experience and experience working within a High Performance Computing environment is a plus. Prior experience in the application and use and evaluation of hydrological models is a requirement for the position. Experience with snow, glacier and/or hydrological models applied to the Himalayan region is also desired.
Salary is negotiable and will be commensurate with the level of experience of the selected candidate. Uni Research AS has employee pension and insurance agreement. The successful applicant must comply with the guidelines that apply to the position at any time.
Further information about the position can be obtained from Dr. Michel d. S. Mesquita (michel.mesquita@uni.no, +47 55 58 38 18) or Ms. Beate Klementsen (beate.klementsen@uni.no, +47 55 58 98 18). For more information about Uni Research and BCCR, please refer to http://uni.no and http://www.bjerknes.uib.no.
Please send electronic application through this webpage: http://www.jobbnorge.no/job.aspx?jobid=85771
The application must include a cover letter addressing the position requirements, a complete overview of education and previous practice (CV), list of publications, certified copies of certificates and diplomas, as well as names and addresses of two scientific references.
Application deadline: 19 September 2012.

Postdoctoral Fellow
Model-data synthesis and forecasting across the upper Midwest: Partitioning uncertainty and environmental heterogeneity in ecosystem carbon
A post-doctoral position in ecosystem model-data synthesis and ecological forecasting is available in the Dietze lab in the Department of Earth and Environment at Boston University.
This project focuses on integrating eddy-covariance, remote-sensing, and forest inventory data within the Ecosystem Demography 2.2 model to understand and forecast regional-scale ecosystem dynamics across northern Wisconsin. The project is part of the larger PEcAn project (http://pecanproject.org<http://pecanproject.org/>), which aims to make ecosystem models, data assimilation, and forecasting more accessible, automated, and repeatable.
As a test bed for the development and application of the PEcAn informatics tools, this project is focused on the temperate/boreal transition zone in northern Wisconsin, a region that is expected to show large climate change responses and is one of the most data-rich regions in the country. The tools developed here will enable us to partition carbon flux and pool variability in space and time and to attribute the regional-scale responses to specific biotic and abiotic drivers. The data-assimilation framework will partition different sources of uncertainty, which will enable a better understanding of which are limiting our inference, and provide a more complete propagation of uncertainty into model forecasts.
Qualifications:
Minimum qualifications are a doctoral degree in a related ecological or environmental science or statistical/computational science. Experience with, or interest in learning, Bayesian statistics, ecosystem modeling, remote-sensing, and ecoinformatics tools is advantageous. Salary is commensurate with experience and qualifications. Up to two years and four months of funding is available.
Submit a cover letter, CV, and contact info for 3 references to Dr. Michael Dietze (dietze at bu.edu<http://bu.edu/>) For more information visit http://pecanproject.org<http://pecanproject.org/> and http://people.bu.edu/dietze<http://www.life.uiuc.edu/dietze>
