Risk Management Solutions (RMS) is the world's leading provider of mathematical models and information related to the financial impact of natural catastrophes. We have a team of forty PhD scientists and engineers based in London building mathematical models that predict the distributions of possible damage due to the effects of tropical storms, extra-tropical storms, thunderstorms, storm-surges, freshwater floods and tsunamis.
We use a combination of observed data, reanalysis data, numerical, statistical and engineering models and data assimilation. We are the pioneers in the development and application of complex statistical and numerical modeling methods for the quantification of natural hazard risk, and our risk models are the most detailed and comprehensive models of natural catastrophes produced anywhere in the world. Our clients include several hundred insurance and reinsurance companies as well as brokers, banks, hedge funds, regional and local governments, and multilateral agencies.
Suitable candidates would have a PhD in Atmospheric Sciences, Meteorology, Applied Mathematics, Statistics, Hydrology, Wind Engineering, or similar. They would be used to working in a UNIX environment, and used to using a compiled programming language (such as C/C++/C#, or FORTRAN). They would have experience with either numerical models (such as GCMs or mesoscale models), handling large data sets, or statistical modeling. Strong candidates with a different but equivalent profile would also be considered. Previous experience in catastrophe modeling, or specific expertise in modeling natural hazards, is not necessary.
RMS is always interested in receiving speculative applications from suitably qualified candidates.
If you are interested, please send an email, with a covering letter and CV, to london.recruiting@rms.com<mailto:london.recruiting@rms.com>
Appropriate candidates will be invited for interview in London.
Cheers,
Christos

Postdoctoral position in atmospheric and space physics in Trondheim, Norway (NT 61/13).
A postdoctoral position within the field of atmospheric and space physics is available at the Department of Physics at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). The duration of the appointment is 2 years, with the possibility of renewal. The work will be within the Atmospheric and Environmental Physics group to examine the observational evidence for solar and energetic particle effects on neutral atmosphere chemistry and dynamics. Atmospheric radar, airglow and radiometer data will be examined for such signatures using both ground-based and satellite platforms. The position will be part of the Birkeland Centre for Space Science (BCSS), a Research Council of Norway international collaborative Centre of Excellence. Hence the position, located at NTNU, will provide abundant opportunities for scientific cooperation with both the international and Norwegian space-science communities
The successful applicant should be highly competent, motivated and ambitious. The candidate should have a PhD in Atmospheric Science, Space Physics, Astrophysics or a related field, with strong data analysis, statistical, and programming skills. Excellent communication skills, both oral and written are important, and the applicant should speak and write English fluently.
The position is remunerated according to the Norwegian State salary scale. Postdoctoral associates are remunerated in salary code 1352, normally at wage level 57 on the Norwegian Government pay scale, gross NOK 473100 per year before tax. There is 2% pension deduction.
The appointment of the postdoctoral fellow will be made according to Norwegian guidelines for universities and university colleges and to the general regulations regarding university employees. The national labour force should reflect the composition of the population to the greatest possible extent, and thus women are especially encouraged to apply.
If you are interested in the position, have any questions or require further information, please email us (patrick.espy@ntnu.no or robert.hibbins@ntnu.no). Further information about the BCSS can be found at http://www.uib.no/birkeland/en, and information about atmospheric physics research at NTNU can be found at http://www.ntnu.edu/physics/appliedphysics/atmosphere
Applications with a letter describing the candidate?s motivation, skills and personal qualifications for the position, a CV, list of publications and other scientific works, and contact details for at least two referees should be submitted electronically through this page: http://www.jobbnorge.no/job.aspx?jobid=95913
Applications received elsewhere will not be considered.
The reference number of the position is: NT-61/13
Application deadline: 15. September 2013

Postdoctoral Position in Climate Change, Clouds, and the Hydrologic Cycle at UCLA
UCLA Dept. of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences seeks a postdoctoral scholar to study the response of the hydrologic cycle to climate change. Supervised by Prof. Alex Hall, the position will focus on quantifying various processes that regulate hydrologic cycle changes in climate simulations, including cloud, and constraining these processes with observations.
The position?available immediately?is initially for one year and renewable for up to three years, subject to satisfactory annual progress. Applicants should have a Ph.D. in Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences or a related field, effective oral and written communication skills, and strong programming and analytical skills. Experience working with the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project climate model ensemble is preferred.
Applicants should submit a brief statement of research interests and goals and a complete CV, including contact information for three references, to Katharine Reich at kreich@atmos.ucla.edu. UCLA is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action employer. All qualified applicants, including women and minorities, are encouraged to apply. For more about Prof. Hall?s research activities, visit www.atmos.ucla.edu/csrl<http://www.atmos.ucla.edu/csrl/>.
