Full-time position for young post-docs: ?Aerosol-cloud interaction in
the twilight zone?
The interdisciplinary Marie-Curie Initial Training Network (ITN) Initial
Training for Atmospheric Remote Sensing (ITARS)
<http://itars.uni-koeln.de/index.php/about-itars>is pleased to
re-announce the availability of *1 Experienced Researcher (ER, 2 year)
position *in Potenza, Italy.
We offer
?Research and training in an exciting European network;
?A highly competitive gross monthly allowance ranging from ?6,000 to
?6,500 (before all taxes and social security contributions, depending on
host country and family status);
?Secondments to our industrial partners;
?Excellent career-development opportunities.
*Research Objectives: *
to improve the knowledge of the aerosol-cloud interactions through the
investigation of the so-called ?twilight zone?; to characterize physical
processes occurring in the twilight zone and to establish statistical
relations among key variables**
**
*Description of work: *
Large parts of the atmosphere labelled as cloud-free in satellite
observations can be attributed to the twilight zone. Observations from
multiple sensors will be used for characterizing the physical processes
occurring in the twilight zone and to establish statistical relations
among key variables, like optical depth, water content, geometrical
extension as well as to assess the relation between the twilight zone
and the atmospheric waves. Experience on MWR potential for detecting
liquid water is gained via secondment to P13. A secondment of the ER to
P6 to work on the study of the Earth?s radiation balance is foreseen.
**
*Required Qualifications*
?Applicants should possess a PhD, MSc or equivalent degree in
Atmospheric Physics, Meteorology, Remote sensing, Mathematics, or
Geosciences. Previous knowledge of atmospheric remote sensing,
instrumentation, aerosol and cloud physics is helpful.

Ongoing position
The Bureau of Meteorology is Australia's national weather, climate and
water agency. Its expertise and services assist Australians in dealing
with the harsh realities of their natural environment, including
droughts, floods, fires, storms, tsunami and tropical cyclones. Through
regular forecasts, warnings, monitoring and advice spanning the
Australian region and Antarctic territory, the Bureau provides one of
the fundamental and most widely used services of government.
The Bureau contributes to national social, economic, cultural and
environmental goals by providing observational, meteorological,
hydrological and oceanographic services and by undertaking research into
science and environment related issues in support of its operations and
services.
The Bureau of Meteorology through the Climate Data Services section aims
to enable access for the community to Australia?s climate record
including that for the ocean. These services range from access to raw
data, analysed and interpreted data, map-based products or information
on frequency of occurrence of events. The Climate Data Services section
is seeking a talented and motivated Executive Officer to assist with
achieving this goal.
The position will take a role in coordinating and contributing to the
development and implementation of a range of technology-based projects
aimed at improving the access to ocean climate data and undertaking
analysis on this data to deliver a range of monitoring and analysis
products. As part of this work, the occupant will need to liaise closely
with other professional-level officers within and outside of the Climate
Program.
To be successful you will have relevant oceanographic, climate and
science programming experience as well as success building strong
working relationships with stakeholders and project team members. Our
ideal candidate is a person who thrives in a team-based workplace, is
dedicated to achieving outcomes through transparent and efficient
processes and who understands and values the services the Bureau
provides to the Australian community.

The Guy Carpenter Asia-Pacific Climate Impact Centre of the School of
Energy and Environment at City University of Hong Kong
(<http://www.cityu.edu.hk/gcacic/>) is recruiting at least one
post-doctoral fellow to work on regional climate modeling. The Centre
has been running the Regional Climate Model Version 3 (RegCM3) in
simulating rainfall in South China and typhoon activity in the western
North Pacific with good results. The post-doctoral fellow will continue
with this work in (1) developing a real-time seasonal forecast of
landfalling typhoon activity in East Asia, (2) extending the RegCM3 in
the seasonal prediction of rainfall in South China, and (3) using the
RegCM3 to study the past, current and future climate of South China and
other regions in the Asia-Pacific region. Other related studies will
also be encouraged.
The applicant should be a recent PhD in atmospheric science with
demonstrated modeling experience through publications. The initial
appointment will be for six months. Upon satisfactory completion of the
first six months, the contract will be extended to at least another six
months with possibility of further renewal depending on funding and
performance. The salary is around HK$22,000-25,000 (1US$ = approximately
HK$7.76) per month depending on experience. Fringe benefits include
leave, medical and dental consultations at the campus clinic.
Interested applicants should send an email to <gcacic@cityu.edu.hk> with a
CV and a cover letter describing previous modeling experience.
City University of Hong Kong is an equal opportunity employer and we are
committed to the principle of diversity. We encourage applications from
all qualified candidates, especially those who will enhance the
