Prof. Andrew Majda has four interdisciplinary post-doctoral positions
available as part of the MURI award, "Physics Constrained
Stochastic-Statistical Models for extended Range Environmental
Prediction".The research topics vary widely including:1) new Skeleton
and muscle models for the MJO in the tropics and extended range
forecasting; 2) new data driven methods to capture intermittency and
extreme events in large data sets; 3) new Physics constrained nonlinear
regression models and information barriers to prediction; 4) new reduced
order models for tropical/extra-tropical interaction and short term
climate change.
Interested applicants should have a Ph.D in applied mathematics,
physics, or climate atmosphere ocean science.There are opportunities to
interact with scientists at NCAR and JPL as well as with other faculty
in CAOS at the Courant Institute.The starting salary is $66,764 for
twelve months with standard NYU benefits.The positions are for one year
at a time but are renewable for up to three years and can begin anytime
from October 1, 2012 until June 1, 2013.
Interested applicants should send C.V., two reference letters, and a
short statement explaining their scientific interest in this project to:

PhD student position in Global Environmental Measurements and Modelling
Information about the division
The Department of Earth and Space Sciences at Chalmers University of Technology is active within environmental research, involving the development of mathematical models for interpreting global Earth-observation data sets and for Earth-system modelling. The PhD project will be a joint venture with the Research Department at the Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute (SMHI).
The PhD project is unique in offering interdisciplinary research within both environmental modelling, Earth-observation, and inverse modelling techniques. The collaboration between Chalmers University of Technology and SMHI combines work within curiosity-driven and applied research environments. The majority of the candidate's working time will be devoted to his/her own research studies. The project offers an opportunity to spend time at both institutions.
Job description
The PhD candidate's research will be devoted to employing satellite observations of atmospheric trace gases and aerosols to constrain and improve atmospheric chemical transport models. The goal is to obtain a better description of atmospheric chemical transport and aerosol dynamic processes for Earth-system climate modelling. The research will involve both modelling studies, analysis of satellite data, and inverse modelling of remote sensing observations by chemical data assimilation.
The majority of your working time is devoted to your own research studies. A PhD student is also expected to develop own ideas and communicate scientific results orally as well as in written form. In addition, the position will normally include 20% departmental work, mostly teaching duties. The employment is limited to a maximum of five years.
Qualifications
Preference will be given to candidates with a Master's degree in physics, mathematics, astronomy, meteorology, or a comparable qualification. You should have an interest in learning how to work with large numerical modelling systems. A good knowledge of written and spoken English is required.
Desired additional qualifications:
? Experience in a higher programming language, especially Fortran
? Experience with Unix/Linux and script programming.
Application procedure
The application should be marked with Ref 20120057 and written in English. The application should be sent electronically via the web page
http://www.chalmers.se/en/about-chalmers/vacancies/Pages/default.aspx
and be attached as three pdf-files, as below:
1. Application:
- CV,
- attested copies of education certificates, including grade reports and other documents, English language test, e.g. TOEFL score,
- letters of recommendation from academic institutions and/or previous employers (optional),
2. A letter of application detailing your specific qualifications for the position
- maximum one A4 page
3. Publications:
- relevant work such as bachelor's or master's thesis (or outline of a thesis under preparation).
Please use the button at the foot of the page to reach the application form. The files may be compressed (zipped).
Application deadline: 2012-09-30
