Post-doc position at the Institute for Meteorology
University of Innsbruck
The atmospheric physics group at the Institute for Meteorology and Geophysics has an opening for a postdoctorial researcher to work in the area of environmental mass spectrometry/atmospheric chemistry/atmospheric physics. Particular emphasis will be on chemical ionization mass spectrometry to be used for real-time eddy covariance measurements of trace gases. The applicant should have a PhD in meteorology, geophysics or physics and should be experienced in field deployments and automatisation of complex measurement systems.

A Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) exists between the University of
Reading's Department of Meteorology and BP Exploration Operating Company
Limited. BP is one of the world?s leading integrated oil and gas
companies. BP provides its customers with fuel for transportation,
energy for heat and light, lubricants to keep engines moving, and the
petrochemicals products used to make everyday items like plastic
bottles. BP invests in renewable energy sources. The Department of
Meteorology at Reading is the largest of its kind in Europe with over 40
academic staff, 20 senior research staff and fellowship holders, around
90 postdocs and around 70 PhD students. In the last (2008) Research
Assessment Exercise the department was the highest-graded department
focusing on the fundamental science of weather and climate.
This exciting 2.5 year project aims to embed the latest research on
extreme weather events within BP and the wider industry to reassess the
design criteria of offshore platforms. Although employed by the
University of Reading, the role is based at BP at their premises in
Sunbury on Thames, which is just outside London.
We require an enthusiastic post graduate with a PhD in mathematical or
physical sciences, who is willing to take on new challenges. The
successful associate will have experience in Linux or Unix environments
and a numerical analysis language (IDL or Matlab etc). It would be
desirable to have experience of working in a commercial environment,
with experience with geophysical models (climate models, atmospheric
models, wave models etc.). He/she will work excellently in a team and
have strong interpersonal skills. The role demands excellent oral and
written communication skills.
In addition to a competitive salary, the package offers excellent
opportunities to further your professional development and support your
career progression. You will be supported in working towards Chartership
with the Institute of Marine Engineering, Science and Technology.
Please complete the online application form, and supply your CV at

Len Shaffrey (Lead Academic on project) l.c.shaffrey@reading.ac.uk
Closing date: 16th Aug 2013 Interviews to be held: 5th Sept 2013
Salary: ?35,000 per annum, plus ?5,000 personal training budget
Package: Based in Sunbury on Thames (just outside London); Full time;
fixed term for 2.5 years

We are seeking a motivated individual with a good background in the
physical, mathematical or geoscience disciplines for a PhD studentship
on Evaluating the ability of atmospheric climate models to represent
damaging European windstorms. The studentship is based at the Department
of Meteorology in the University of Reading, UK.
The damaging winds associated with extreme European windstorms can cause
large socioeconomic losses. For example, the three windstorms (Anatol,
Lothar and Martin) that crossed North Western Europe during December
1999 caused an estimated 18.5 billion Euros of insured loss.
Understanding how windstorms may respond to climate change is essential
for assessing future weather risks. In order to have confidence in
climate projections it is essential that climate models are capable
representing a realistic spatial distribution of European windstorms as
well as realistically simulating the high winds associated with extreme
windstorms. The aims of this studentship are to i) assess the ability of
climate models to represent extreme European Windstorms and ii) assess
the long-term variability of European windstorms in long climate model
simulations. The representation of European windstorms from the CMIP5
climate models and from the high-resolution HiGEM climate model will
initially be assessed. An analysis of the projected response of
windstorms to climate change will also be performed.
This PhD studentship is funded under the Climate-KIC programme
(www.climate-kic.org) and full funding (including fees and stipend) is
available to both EU and UK students. Climate-KIC PhD studentships also
receive additional travel funding and training in innovation and
entrepreneurship. The studentship is also co-funded by Hiscox insurance
and will receive an additional top-up stipend (?1000.p.a) and travel
funding. The studentship will start in October 2013.
