Post-Doctoral Position in Arctic sea ice cover prediction on seasonal to
decadal timescales
LOCATION
IC3 Headquarters in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain
GENERAL DESCRIPTION AND WORK ENVIRONMENT
The Institut Catal? de Ci?ncies del Clima (IC3) is a climate institution
created by the Government of Catalunya and the University of Barcelona,
aiming at understanding climate change and variability, the dynamics and
theory underlying those changes and the impact on society. IC3 focus on
the Mediterranean regions, tropical Africa, South America and Southeast
Asia.
The Climate Forecasting Unit (CFU) undertakes research to forecast
global climate variations from one month to several years into the
future (also known as seasonal-to-decadal prediction). The unit members
also investigate the impact of climate variability in socio-economic
sectors, and the management of such risk via the development of climate
services for renewable energy, insurance, etc.
For details, see www.ic3.cat and http://ic3cfu.wikispot.org
We are looking to recruit a 24 month full-time Climate Scientist to
investigate the seasonal to decadal predictability of the Arctic Sea ice
cover and its impact on the European Climate. The successful applicant
will be heavily involved in:
- The nationally funded PICA-ICE project (Previsi?n Interanual de la
Cubierta de hielo marino del ?rtico y su impacto en el Clima Europeo;
http://www.ic3.cat/detail_project.php?menu=180&project=18&idioma=1).
- The EU-funded SPECS Project (Seasonal-to-decadal climate Prediction
for the improvement of European Climate Services,
http://www.specs-fp7.eu/SPECS/Home.html).
- The UK-funded APPOSITE project (Arctic Predicatability and Prediction
On Seasonal to Interannual Timescales).
MAIN DUTIES
The successful applicant will perform statistical analyses on the most
recent observational datasets and reanalyses to extract the mechanisms
driving the Arctic sea ice cover variability and its relation to the
European climate. The candidate will assess their predictability in a
perfect model ?approach?, which consists in assessing to which extent a
model is able to reproduce its own variability. He/she will estimate the
actual forecast skill in retrospective predictions. The core of the
tasks will consist in the statistical analysis of the large amount of
already available data. At a later stage, sensitivity experiments can be
designed and run by the successful applicant depending on the initial
results from statistical analyses. The simulations to be analysed have
been produced with the EC-Earth climate model, which includes LIM2 sea
ice model. They can also be repeated at a later stage with both LIM3 and
GELATO6 sea ice model.
DESIRED SKILLSQUALIFICATIONS
- Ph.D. in climate sciences, applied statistics or a related field.
Degree in a climate-related science.
- Previous experience in working with and analyzing climate models outputs.
- Knowledge about the Arctic climate.
- Statistical climate data analysis skills.
- Advanced programming skills using R, cdo, nco, and/or phyton.
- Good verbal and written communication skills in English.
- Good team-working skills.
CONDITIONS AND APPLICATION PROCEDURES
The position is opened for 24 months and starts in early 2013. Gross
salary 27.500 ? 30.500 EU per year.
To apply, please send your CV accompanied with a brief statement (max. 1
page) of interest and experience with the following subject ?Application
for the Post-Doctoral PICA-ICE position? by e-mail to jobs@ic3.cat

Research Fellow Savanna ecosystem and land surface modelling
========================================
We seek a postdoctoral research fellow to work in the area of Savanna
ecosystem and land surface modelling. The candidate will be engaged in
dynamic and multidisciplinary team to work on an ARC funded program on
?Australian Savanna Landscapes: Past, Present and future?. The appointee
will assess how Australian savanna systems function (carbon and water
cycles) in the present, how sensitive they have been to past climate
variability and how they may respond to future change. This will involve
identifying gaps in models used to project climate in savanna biomes and
improve them to ultimately dynamically generate current, past and future
savanna vegetation patterns and responses. A Ph.D. in climate science or
ecosystem process or related discipline is necessary. Demonstrated
research track record is required in ecosystem and land surface
modelling. Experience in landscape modelling and model intercomparisons
would be an advantage.
The position may be taken up at Monash University (Melbourne),
University of Technology Sydney (Sydney) or Charles Darwin University
(Darwin) Australia depending on the best match to skills and
supervisors. More information at
<http://www.arts.monash.edu.au/ges/research/climate/savannafutures/> The
research team includes Prof. Jason Beringer (Monash University), Assoc.
Prof. Lindsay Hutely (CDU), Prof. Qiang Yu (UTS), Dr. Stan Schymanski
(ETH Z?rich), Dr. Vanessa Haverd (CSIRO), Dr. Youngryel Ryu (Seoul
National University), Prof. Stephen Higgins (University of Frankfurt),
Dr. Ying Ping Wang (CSIRO), Prof. Matthew Williams (University of
Edinburgh) , Dr Gab Abramowitz (UNSW).

Research Associate in Atmospheric Remote Sensing/Atmospheric Physics
Space and Atmospheric Physics Group, Imperial College London
A research associate position is available to join the Space and Atmospheric Physics Group at Imperial College London (http://www3.imperial.ac.uk/spat).
The successful candidate will join an experienced team working on developing Earth Observation and modelling tools for the Middle-East North African region. The particular focus in this activity is to better quantify the aerosol burden (particularly mineral dust) using observations from the Spinning Enhanced Visible and InfraRed Imager flying on the Meteosat Second Generation (MSG) series of satellites. This effort will evaluate and refine existing tools but will also seek to develop a new approach to obtain quantitative information throughout the diurnal cycle. A second strand of the research will see the use of measurements from the Geostationary Earth Radiation Budget instrument, also flying on MSG, to observationally constrain model estimates of the aerosol radiative effect.
Further details concerning the post can be found at www.imperial.ac.uk/employment<http://www.imperial.ac.uk/employment> by clicking "job search" and entering NS2012254SC in "keywords".
Informal inquiries can be addressed to Dr. Helen Brindley (h.brindley@imperial.ac.uk<mailto:h.brindley@imperial.ac.uk> ).
