Aerospace & Marine International (UK) Ltd has a vacancy for a Marine
Meteorologist / Route Analyst to join the offshore forecasting team at its
Banchory office, near Aberdeen.
Aerospace & Marine was established in the United States in 1991, and the
company's primary operations centre is situated in San Jose, California. The
company is a leading provider of weather services to the marine and offshore
sector, and specialised Weather Routing and Performance Monitoring services
to the global shipping sector.
Candidates must have an undergraduate or post-graduate degree in
meteorology. Relevant marine forecasting experience is desirable although
consideration may be given to suitably qualified graduate candidates.
The job is office-based and involves preparation of marine site and tow
forecasts for a variety of locations and projects worldwide. The successful
candidate will also undergo Route Analyst training for our global ship
routing operation after they have become fully acquainted with our offshore
forecasting system.
Forecasters currently work on a flexible shift pattern, covering 24 hours
between the two operational centres. In addition to a competitive salary,
benefits also include four weeks annual leave, a company contributory
pension and life assurance, all subject to successful completion of a short
probationary period.
The office is situated in pleasant surroundings in the Dee valley, 20 miles

the area appeals to those who enjoy outdoor activities.
Candidates must be citizens of the European Union, or have a valid permit to
work in the United Kingdom.
If you would like to apply please send your CV and a covering letter to
Keith Thomson at <mailto:kthomson@weather3000.com> kthomson@weather3000.com
The closing date for applications will be Friday 2nd November 2012.

The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Princeton University
seeks highly motivated candidates to fill one or more research postdoctoral or
more senior research positions who will work in the areas of land surface
modeling, remote sensing and data analysis. Research projects include modeling
and analysis of continental and global water and energy cycles, seasonal
hydrological forecasting, drought analysis, and data assimilation that merges
satellite-based remote sensing into land surface models. The position will be
in Land Surface Hydrology Research Group (http://hydrology.princeton.edu) under
the guidance of Professor Eric Wood and Dr. Justin Sheffield. The candidate
needs to be interested in working collaboratively with other research staff and
graduate students within the research group. The successful candidate must have
a Ph.D. in climate-related science or engineering fields with a strong
background in hydrologic sciences that includes statistics and probability,
demonstrated strong programming skills (in particular Fortran, C, Perl, and
Shell script) necessary to improve and operate global hydrological models and
utilize large data sets, experience working with large spatial datasets
(preferably using GrADS) on multiple computer platforms (Unix/Linux, Windows),
and have advanced proficiency in communicating scientific findings in
peer-reviewed journals and at professional meetings. The position is available
immediately and will be an initial 12-month appointment with the possibility of
renewal pending satisfactory performance and continued funding. Rank and
salary will be commensurate with experience. Interested applicants should
submit application online at http://jobs.princeton.edu requisition number
1200650. Applications should include a statement of research experience and
interest, a current CV with names and contact information (address, email and
telephone) of three referees. Please note, responses will only be sent to
applicants from whom we seek further information. Princeton University is an
equal opportunity employer and complies with applicable EEO and affirmative
action regulations.

Post-doctoral research associate in regional atmospheric chemistry
modelling, LATMOS-IPSL, Paris
Full time: 1 year (initially)
Starting Date: flexible although the position is available immediately
Intensive field campaigns devoted to atmospheric sulphur chemistry and
oxygen isotopic anomalies in sulphate have been conducted in the last
few years over the Antarctic continent and next to volcanoes. One of the
examples is the OPALE (Oxidant Production over Antarctica Land and its
Export) campaign conducted at a coastal measurement site (Dumont
d'Urville) and at the Concordia site on the Antarctic plateau. The
analysis of the campaign data is being carried out using a range of
numerical models, in particular chemistry-transport models.
The successful applicant is expected to drive the modelling activity of
these campaigns and take responsibility for the relevant model
developments and runs. This work will be undertaken in close
collaboration with other project partners in France (LGGE, Grenoble;
ISTEP, Paris) and in UK (BAS, Cambridge). The results are expected to be
presented at national and international meetings as well as published in
the peer-reviewed literature.
Applicants should have a PhD in atmospheric science and ideally a strong
numerical modelling background. Demonstrated skill/proficiency in, at
least, two of the following areas is required: running complex model
codes, advanced knowledge of numerical modelling and statistics, skills
in scientific programming (e.g., Fortran) and graphical/mathematical
packages such as IDL and/or Matlab. Experience in operating
chemistry-transport models model is also desirable.
Interested applicants should send by e-mail a letter of interest, a CV,
and the names of three contactable referees to Slimane Bekki
(slimane.bekki@latmos.ipsl.fr) and Joel Savarino
(joel.savarino@lgge.obs.ujf-grenoble.fr). Please direct informal
enquiries to the same contacts.
