Modelling the impact of storms in the land surface model ORCHIDEE
We are recruiting for a post-doctoral position to play a key part in
building the capacity for modelling the impact of storms in the land
surface model ORCHIDEE. The role is for 24 months and is based at the
LSCE in France. Research time needs to be spent in France and Sweden as
the successful candidate will be the integrator of this bilateral project.
Capacity building for modelling the impact of storms is an exciting
development to the land surface scheme ORCHIDEE. This task will involve:
(1) downscaling high resolution wind fields, (2) developing a storm
module for ORCHIDEE based the existing stand-level model ForestGALES,
(3) modelling the structural and functional effects of wind storms
including weathering, drainage and run-off in addition to the more
typical effects on stand structure and validating the simulations
against existing field observations, and (4) a regional attribution
study of the effects of wind storms as a function of gap size and storm
frequency.
From an administrative point of view the position will be based at the
Laboratoire des Sciences du Climat et de l'Environnement (LSCE,
Orme-les-Merisiers, Gif-sur-Yvette, France). The successful candidate,
however, will be required to spend substantial time in Sweden at SLU
(Uppsala and Alnarp) and Lund University (Lund). As well as in France at
the LSCE (Gif sur Yvette) and INRA (Bordeaux).
Given the interdisciplinary nature of the research we are seeking for a
highly motivated individual with a PhD degree in for example forestry,
ecology, environmental modelling or related topics. A broad interest in
natural sciences more specifically terrestrial ecology and
biogeochemistry is essential. Rather than for a specific training, we
are looking for a candidate who is able to demonstrate her/his ability
to understand coupled biogeochemical cycles and develop code (Fortran
90), publish manuscripts in peer review journals and establish and
maintain communication between five researchers across two countries.
Send your letter of motivation, a description of a recently solved
scientific problem (1/2 page), contact information of 3 referees and
your cv to Sebastiaan.Luyssaert@lsce.ipsl.fr. Deadline the applications
is 30/08/2013, contract starts at 01/01/2014.

The University of Bremen is advertising ? conditional to the release of
budgetary funds ? the following vacancy:
Cooperative Junior Research Group Leader "Remote Sensing of Ice? Salary
group TVL E14/15 (for three years with the option of an extension)
reference number: A66/13
We are seeking an outstanding young scientist, having an excellent
doctorate and publication record, to lead a new cooperative research
group. During the past 25 years, the Institute of Environmental Physics
in the faculty of Physics and Engineering of the University of Bremen,
IUP-UB, has established itself, as an internationally recognized leader
in the remote sensing of the Polar Regions.
In addition successful research cluster in cryospheric science comprises
researchers from the IUP-UB and the Climate Sciences Division of the
Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research, AWI
(http://www.awi.de). Current research foci address the use of
measurements from instrumentation aboard satellite platforms to retrieve
key atmospheric constituents (ozone, water vapour, aerosol polar
stratospheric cloud and cloud) and surface parameters ( e.g. sea ice and
snow cover, thickness and albedo). They aim to improve our understanding
of the fundamental processes taking place in and above the cryosphere
and the assessment of the impact of global climate change at high latitudes.
Detailed description
Cooperative Junior Research Group Leader The University of Bremen is a
middle sized university, located in the north west of Germany and having
approximately 250 professors and 19,000 students. It offers a broad
range of academic disciplines and competes successfully and
internationally in top-flight research. As part of its ambitious
institutional strategy, the university was successful in the recent
national Excellence Initiative: being one of only eleven selected
universities. Cooperative Junior Research Groups, CJRG, funded by the
Excellence Initiative strengthen the university?s capacity for
innovation. They are established in fields of close collaboration
between the University and our well known partners within large research
facilities. They offer rewarding research opportunities and career
prospects for excellent young researchers. Potential candidates having
excelled in their doctoral studies and possessing the ability to
develop, design and lead a cutting-edge research project are strongly
encouraged to apply. Successful candidates will become CJRG leaders,
receiving a competitive salary and a generous budget for research
assistants and other costs directly incurred by the research group.
Dependent on their qualifications, CJRG leaders at the University of
Bremen can be temporarily granted the academic title of professor and be
given the right to independently supervise doctoral theses. To
facilitate their research output and to develop their didactic skills,
the teaching load (in English or German) for successful candidates is
two hours per week during each semester and begins in the second
academic year after the appointment.
