Research positions available
*Center for Prototype Climate Modeling/NYU Abu Dhabi Institute*
Andrew Majda (PI), Olivier Pauluis (co-PI), Shafer Smith (co-PI)
NYU Abu Dhabi, through its NYU Abu Dhabi Institute, seeks to be a
world-class center of cutting-edge research, scholarship, and cultural
activity. The Institute offers outstanding facilities; research funding
at a significant level and with exceptional continuity of support; and a
vigorous, cohesive, and interactive intellectual environment. The NYUAD
Institute has recently awarded a research grant to the PI and co-PIs to
create the Center for Prototype Climate Modeling, investing a total of
$12 million in the project over a five-year period, renewable for a
second five-year period. The Center will develop new, innovative
approaches in climate forecasting, especially as they relate to the
tropics and subtropics, to improve the accuracy of algorithms used for
climate change predictions. The core activities of the center will focus
on two related themes: (I) The development of new methods, including
diagnostics, data assimilation, parametrization, and prediction; and
(II) the application of these methods to critical problems in the
dynamics of the tropical and subtropical atmosphere and ocean.*
Positions are available* for up to *2 senior research scientists* and *3
postdoctoral researchers*. While talent and an exceptional research
record in all related fields are paramount, we especially encourage
applications from researchers with expertise in air-sea interaction,
large-scale climate modeling and diagnosis, especially as it applies to
the tropics and subtropics, and development of new approaches to
parametrization in both atmospheric and oceanic circulation models. All
positions will be based in Abu Dhabi, but researchers may spend up to 2
months per year at the Courant Institute in New York City. NYU Abu Dhabi
offers very substantial benefits, including allowances for housing,
transportation, and home visits, in addition to health insurance and an
attractive retirement plan.
*Senior scientists* will collaborate directly with the PI and co-PIs,
develop their own research
agenda in accordance with the overall goals of the center,
help supervise the postdoctoral
associates, and develop a long-term relationship with
climate research centers worldwide.
Appointments will be made for a five-year term, contingent
upon positive annual reviews. The
annual salary is in the range $110K-$140K, depending on
qualifications.
* Postdoctoral research fellows* will work closely with the
PI, co-PIs and senior scientists.
Appointments are offered for two-year periods, contingent
upon positive annual reviews;
extensions up to five years may be possible in exceptional
cases. The annual salary is
in the range $65K-$80K, depending on qualifications.
Applicants should send a CV and the names of three professional
references via email or regular mail to Daisy Mojar-Calderon
(mojar@cims.nyu.edu), Courant Institute, New York University, New York,
NY 10012, USA. Applicants for the senior scientist positions should also
include a one-page research statement, describing the applicant's
scientific goals, and how they relate to the goals of the Center. Review
of applications will begin November 15, 2012 and will continue until
suitable candidates are hired.

NERC quota PhD studentship to start September 2013 at the University of
Edinburgh. _Full funding is limited to UK citizens_.
*Project:* The NERC-funded Greenhouse gAs Uk and Global Emissions
(GAUGE, 2013-2016+) project led by the U. Edinburgh
(http://www.geos.ed.ac.uk/research/eochem/gauge.html) will quantify UK
emissions of CO2, CH4, and N2O from different sectors, and improve
global GHG emission estimates. For the UK, we have designed an
integrated and inter-calibrated network of atmospheric measurements
incorporating ground-based, airborne (UK BAe-146 research aircraft),
ferry-borne, balloon-borne, and space-borne sensors, including new
sensor technology. We will interpret these data using established
computer models of the atmosphere, which describe the movement of GHGs
after emission, and sophisticated statistical methods. The main outcome
from GAUGE will be robust GHG emission estimates (and associated
uncertainties) from the UK and from the rest of the world. The
successful candidate will help develop established modelling and
analysis techniques to interpret GHG isotope measurements made during
GAUGE to quantity UK anthropogenic emissions.
The *ideal candidate* will have an academic background in a quantitative
science. They will be able to work independently as well as within a
larger research group. GAUGE offers the successful candidate an
excellent opportunity to work within a strong international team of
researchers. More broadly, the project is affiliated, through the
supervisor, to the NERC National Centre for Earth Observation, and is
affiliated, via GAUGE activities, to the NERC National Centre for
Atmospheric Research.

Building a new regional earth system model. We are developing a high resolution model which couples the atmosphere, ocean, waves, land, biosphere and sea-ice on a regional scale. This model advances our understanding of extreme events and the regional budgets of water, carbon and aerosol. The model is suitable for regional climate change simulations and other sensitivity studies. The core atmospheric module is WRF and the core ocean module is ROMS. We are developing a number of regional models in exciting and poorly understood areas such as the Caspian, East Caribbean, Indian Ocean, West Africa and the Shetlands. We aim to understand new processes. Our work also has the opportunity of close interaction with insurance and other businesses. You would be joining an active and growing group in Atmospheric Physics with several opportunities for international collaboration and travel. We are looking for a graduate in physical science, maths or engineering with at least a 2.1 Honours degree. Standard research council (NERC,EPSRC) rules apply so only UK residents or EU nationals who have studied in the UK for the last 3 years can apply. Please contact with brief CV Prof Ralf Toumi, r.toumi at imperial.ac.uk<mailto:r.toumi@imperial.ac.uk>.
The open day will be held on January 16, 2013, from 2:00 to 3:30 pm in room H711C (level 7, Huxley building (180 Queen's Gate), South Kensington Campus

Dear colleagues,
I am glad to forward you the following announcement for a PhD position at the Leibniz-Institute for Tropospheric Research in Leipzig, Germany. Thank you for your kind attention.
With best regards,
Ralf Wolke.

Leibniz-Institut for Tropospheric Research (TROPOS)
3 year PhD position in modeling of secondary organic aerosols
The Leibniz Institute for Tropospheric Research (TROPOS) is an internationally renowned institute in the field of aerosol and cloud research. Its modeling department is offering a three-year position for a PhD student (based on TV-L E13, half time) as a contribution to the interdisciplinary project
Modeling of the Formation of Secondary Organic Aerosols (SOA).
The objective of this project is the development and implementation of appropriate models for a detailed description of the SOA formation and the related phase transfer processes in the atmosphere. SOA comprises a large fraction of submicron particulate matter affecting radiative climate forcing and human health. Therefore, a good understanding and representation of the related multiphase processes in atmospheric models is required for climate as well as air quality applications. Among other applications, simulation results of the developed model will be compared with measurements of experiments performed at the TROPOS chamber facility LEAK.
Candidates should have a university degree in mathematics, meteorology, physics, or chemical engineering. Ideally, they have a background in thermodynamics, heterogeneous chemistry or related disciplines. Applicants should be interested in theoretical problems and be able to implement appropriate solution approaches in computer programs. Knowledge of FORTRAN or/and C programming is required. Fluency in English and the ability to clearly present research results both in spoken and written form are essential.
We are offering the possibility to work in an interdisciplinary team, at a renowned atmospheric research institutes and in one of the most attractive cities in Germany. Among candidates of equal aptitude and qualifications, preference will be given to a disabled person. TROPOS is committed to increase the fraction of female scientists and particularly encourages qualified female applicants to apply.
Please send your application (no later than 1st February 2013) to:
