Lecturer/Associate Professor in Climate or Atmospheric Modelling
Reference Number ENVEE0125
Grade 8/9
Job Summary
We have introduced the title of Associate Professor for our grade 9 academic staff, which is equivalent to Senior Lecturer.
We are seeking an atmospheric modeller with a track record of excellent research in global or regional model development and innovative applications to climate or weather phenomena. We are interested in candidates, for example, who implement and evaluate improved process representations and assess impact on the global or regional scales or modellers who diagnose local or regional weather and/or climate phenomena from global simulations.
This will be an outstanding opportunity to lead research that links with the established strengths of Institute for Climate and Atmospheric Science (ICAS) in process studies in order to address important issues such as climate change at regional scales. ICAS is an internationally excellent centre, conducting research into climate and weather phenomena in the areas of Atmospheric Dynamics and Clouds; Atmospheric Chemistry and Aerosols; and Climate Change and Impacts. We study globally important climate and weather processes by linking our field measurements, laboratory analyses and models from the scale of local weather phenomena to the global scale.
You will have the opportunity to benefit from our strong ties and formal Academic Partnership with the Met Office and our long-standing integration with and leadership of the UK National Centre for Atmospheric Science, and our growing links with the insurance industry, e.g. AXA and the Willis Research Network, facilitated through a new University hub on Climate and Geohazard Services. We also have strong collaborations with wider research on climate impacts within the Faculty of Environment and beyond, such as the Centre for Climate Change Economics and Policy, Africa College and the Ecology and Global Change group. ICAS is a leading developer of advanced models across all scales, including cloud-scale, mesoscale and global scale to study atmospheric chemistry and aerosols, cloud processes and land-atmosphere interactions. Consequently, ICAS make extensive use of HPC and you will benefit from access to national and University of Leeds HPC facilities and modelling support research scientists.
You should have strong academic foundations and a doctoral degree in a physical science. You will be 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. You will be an excellent communicator and will contribute high quality teaching on our meteorology and environmental programmes.

The Paul Scherrer Institute, PSI, is with 1500 employees the largest
research centre for natural and engineering sciences within Switzerland.
We perform world-class research in three main subject areas: Matter and
Material; Energy and the Environment; and Human Health. By conducting
fundamental and applied research, we work on long-term solutions for
major challenges facing society, industry and science.
The Laboratory of Atmospheric Chemistry (LAC) studies the effects of
anthropogenic emissions on the atmospheric environment. The aerosol
research in our laboratory involves emission characterization, smog
chamber studies and long-term measurements and field campaigns at the
high alpine site Jungfraujoch.
Atmospheric aerosol particles have an impact on the earth's climate via
their interaction with solar radiation and via modification of cloud
properties. These effects remain the largest source of uncertainty in
our current understanding of the earth's climate system. In 1988 the
Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) initiated an aerosol research program at
the high Alpine Research Station Jungfraujoch (3580 m.a.s.l.). Since
1995 PSI has been responsible for the continuous aerosol measurements
performed at Jungfraujoch within the Global Atmosphere Watch (GAW)
program of the World Meteorological
Organization. Nowadays, the aerosol monitoring program at the
Jungfraujoch is among the most complete aerosol monitoring programs
worldwide.
For this research we are looking for a
Postdoctoral Fellow in High Alpine Aerosol Research
Your tasks
* Responsibility for the continuous aerosol measurements at the high
alpine research station Jungfraujoch; during intensive campaigns you
will be involved in comprehensive aerosol - cloud interaction studies
that are conducted within national and international collaborations
* Application of state-of-the-art aerosol instrumentation including
scanning particle mobility sizers, optical particle counters,
nephelometers, aethalometer, cloud condensation nucleus counters, etc.
* Supervision of PhD students, e.g. by contributing to the development
and employment of a new ice selective inlet for the extraction of ice
crystals in mixedphase clouds and subsequent physico-chemical analysis
of the ice residuals
Your profile
* PhD degree in chemistry, physics, environmental/earth sciences or
meteorology
* You must have an affinity for practical work with specific experience
in the measurement of airborne nanoparticles as well as an extensive
knowledge of atmospheric aerosols and their impact on climate
* Good communication skills are required along with an ability to work
effectively and creatively as part of a research team involving graduate
students and research staff
* Basic programming skills and proficiency in spoken and written English
are prerequisites
We are looking for a highly motivated individual, who is willing to work
partially at the high altitude of the Jungfraujoch and who is interested
in atmospheric aerosol research. The workplace is mainly located at PSI.
However, during the intensive field campaigns, longer stays at the
station are necessary.
For further information please contact Dr Ernest Weingartner, phone +41
56 310 24 05.
Please submit your application online via
http://www.psi.ch/pa/offenestellen/0428-2
(including list of publications and addresses of referees).

Dear colleagues
We have opened a call for 4 post-doc fellowships in the frame of
OT-Med. OT-Med is a ? labex ? funded by the French national programme
? Investissement d?Avenir ? for the period 2012-2019
(http://www.otmed.fr). OT-Med has the objective to study the impacts of
environmental change (climate, land use etc.) on ecosystem resources and
services, as well as on human society in the Mediterranean Basin. OT-Med
intends to create synergies between its participating scientists at all
levels. This will be achieved by organising and structuring
interdisciplinary exchanges in research and education, by promoting
interdisciplinary research projects, through an ambitious policy for the
reception of visiting researchers, post-docs and Ph.D. fellowships, and
exchanges with southern countries, by organising international symposia,
summer schools and workshops, by organising scientific, technical and
socio-economic databases resulting from research, for both scientists
and stakeholders etc.
This program of post-doctoral fellowships is launched in this frame to
reach these objectives. More information can be found at the following
address: http://www.otmed.fr/spip.php?article325
Thank you to transmit this message to any person interested.
Best regards
Joel
