Dear Collegues,
We have an open 2-year position as a research scientist at the Rossby Centre at the Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute.
The position is about research and method development for analysis of climate scenarios and observational data.
More details can be found following any of the two links (in English or Swedish) below.

*Post-doctoral position at Laboratoire de Physique des Oc?ans, Brest,
France*
A one year postdoctoral position is now opened to work on the
reconstruction of the general ocean circulation from hydrology and
subsurface floats. There is now a substantial number of floats (for
instance from the Argo program) that may provide an accurate estimate of
the mean velocities below the main thermocline. Ollitrault and Colin de
Verdi?re (2013) have proposed a method to calculate the three
dimensional horizontal circulation from velocity and hydrographic data
sets. The objective of the work is to make a dedicated reconstruction of
the circulation in the Eastern North Atlantic by using additional data
available from /Service Hydrographique et Oc?anographique de la Marine/
which is financing this study. The work requires interest and experience
in large scale ocean dynamics and data handling.
Interested candidates should send their application (CV, names of
references and a motivation letter) by August 30, 2013 to:
A. Colin de Verdi?re

The group of theoretical meteorology of the University of Hamburg, Germany
( http://www.mi.uni-hamburg.de/Theoretische.6.0.html ) is welcoming
applications in the FP7 Marie Curie postdoctoral fellowship schemes: Intra
European Fellowship - IEF for researchers with mobility in Europe and
International Incoming Fellowsip - IIF for researchers from outside Europe
coming in our Institution. Both are for a period of 12-24 months.
Building on our expertise in geophysical sciences,example of topics are:
- Extreme Events at different spatial and temporal scales: the impact of
meteo-climatic extremes can be greatly determined by their spatial
extension and/or their persistence. The aim of this project is to conduct a
fundamental study on the behaviour of extremes in climate models under
different coarse graining - resulting from different choices of model's
resolution and of model's outputs averaging methods. The results will be of
interest for both theory and applications, as it will lead to a better
interpretation and use of models's outputs for a variety of downscaling
problems.
- Thermodynamics of the Asian Monsoonal Circulation: Several studies have
made clear that the current generation of climate models is still not able
to represent to a satisfactory degree of precision the circulation patterns
characterizing the South and South East Asian monsoon. One of the main
reasons for such inefficiency seems to be the inability to represent
accurately the complex and steep orography of the Hindu-Kush-Himalaya and
of the Tibetan plateau. What we propose is to perform a thermodynamical
analysis of the extended region housing the monsoonal circulation, by
generalizing to limited regions, featuring material fluxes at the
boundaries, the thermodynamic formalism developed for describing the
efficiency and the irreversibility of the whole climate system. The goal is
to link the properties of the monsoonal circulation to the correlations
between energy fluxes and temperature for present and projected climate
conditions. This problem will be studied using climate models of various
resolutions (and under different atmospheric compositions). Moreover,
climate models' data from the IPCC/CMIP5 dataset will be analyzed for
investigating the dynamical reasons of the observed biases.
- Moreover, our group is expanding a new research line in planetology. We
are developing models of circulation of planetary atmosphere with various
applications from Mars to exoplanets (giant and Earth-like). We welcome
applicants with a background in geoscience as well as in
Astrophysics/Planetary science.
Some eligibility criteria (including mobility) are set by the FP7 People
Program.
A Doctoral degree in physics, applied mathematics, astronomy, or Earth
sciences, and research experience in the field of planetary atmospheres are
required.
Please contact Nicolas Iro (nicolas.iro@zmaw.de) for further detail.
Notice of interest must be received no later than July 15th 2013 for
allowing time to build the application.
