Subject: [Met-jobs] Fully funded phd in long-term climate prediction
at the University of Bristol, UK
To: met-jobs@lists.reading.ac.uk
Message-ID:

The School of Geographical Sciences at the University of Bristol is pleased
to be able to advertise this PhD studentship, with the successful candidate
starting 23rd September 2013. The studentship is concerned with modelling
the long-term (multi-millenial) evolution of our climate, utilising
state-of-the-art climate and carbon cycle models to identify and
characterise extreme future climate states, given a combination of natural
and human-made drivers of climate change (see more details below).
The PhD project is funded through, and forms part of, the MODARIA work
program, which is primarily interested in the applications of the results
to the long-term storage of nuclear waste.
The studentship covers all fees, plus a stipend of ?13,726 per annum, plus
a CASE award of ?1,000 per annum, plus funding for conference attendance
during the project.
Expressions of interest should be made by 20th August 2013 via email to Dan
Lunt (d.j.lunt@bristol.ac.uk), and consist of a 4-page CV in the first
instance.
The scope of the PhD would primarily be to deliver regional-scale climate
predictions for the next ~1 million years, with a primary focus on the next
~100,000 years.
The PhD would involve three main bodies of work:
(1) Long-term future carbon-cycle change. The student would make use of
the GENIE coupled climate-carbon cycle model. This model, given long-term
changes in Earth?s orbit and scenarios of anthropogenic CO2 emissions,
predicts changes in climate and the carbon cycle, resulting in scenarios of
atmospheric CO2 concentration, which is the primary unknown on these
timescales, as well as climate at a relatively coarse (10o?10o) resolution.
(2) Several key extreme time periods, identified in (1), will be examined
in greater detail using the very latest UK Met Office climate models,
HadGEM2 and HadGEM2-ES. This model contains a more complex and complete
representation of the physical climate compared with GENIE, and runs at a
significantly higher resolution (~ 1o?1.5o).
(3) The results from (1) and (2) will be downscaled using methodologies
developed at the university of Bristol, and further extended as part of
this project.
Yours,
Dr Dan Lunt, Prof Andy Ridgwell, Dr Mike Thorne

Hi
Please can you advertise the following job?
Thanks
Laura
Observations R&D Foundation Scientific Software Engineer
Salary: Starting ?21,250 and for exceptional candidates up to ?24,250 + competitive benefits, including Civil Service Pension
Generic role: Foundation Scientific Software Engineer
Profession: Science and Engineering
Permanent. Full time at Met Office, Exeter
Opening date for applications: 12 August 2013, 15:00
Closing date for applications: 9 September 2013
More information, please visit http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/about-us/jobs/current-vacancies/002834
Background information
Observations are fundamental to almost all the services the Met Office provides - as direct data and products; for initialising numerical weather prediction (NWP) and other models; for verifications of forecasts; as the basis for many weather/climate related consultancy services; and for providing evidence of climate change.
Observations Research and Development (Obs R&D) consists of approximately 45 scientists and engineers developing new measurement capability and observational products for the Met Office and delivering these into operations. Developments occur in response to new requirements or opportunities resulting from the new technology.
The Met Office Observations programme has developed a number of IT systems for the central processing, in Exeter, data from the UK and Global observation networks. Traditionally these observation networks have been owned and managed by National Meteorological Services but increasingly "3rd party" data can be exploited for use in NWP and other models. This new role will sit within the Observations Central Systems team, working with scientists in Obs R&D to develop new applications to exploit these new data sources.
Specific job purpose
To design and build specialised scientific software applications to meet the needs of the Observations R&D team and to underpin Met Office science programmes.
Specific job responsibilities
? To liaise with scientific colleagues in order to understand their requirements for specialised scientific software solutions for the processing of observational data.
? To develop software applications for the processing of observational data that meet the needs of the scientific community within the Met Office.
? To maintain, document and support software applications for the processing of observational data so as to facilitate their maximum utilisation and longevity.
? Adhere to, and contribute to the improvement of, software engineering procedures and standards in order to ensure delivered software solutions meet desired quality criteria.
? Share knowledge and expertise with colleagues in order to enhance overall team or group effectiveness.
Qualifications, skills and abilities required
Essential
? A good degree in a numerate science discipline (2.1 or above).
? Demonstrated ability to learn and apply scientific software engineering techniques for processing scientific data.
? Demonstrated ability to work independently on software development tasks and to derive workable solutions to problems in a team environment.
? Demonstrated ability to work on several software/system engineering projects at a time whilst delivering to deadlines.
? Demonstrated ability to provide effective support to data/system users.
? Evidence of an interest in meteorological observations, instrumentation or remote sensing.
Desirable
? Demonstrated ability to write scientific software using a software configuration management system.
? Experience of programming in C++, Python.
