Post-doctoral fellowship at CNRM (CNRM-GAME, UMR 3589 - METEO-FRANCE, CNRS)
Applications are invited for two postdoctoral research fellowships
starting end 2013 or beginning 2014, at M?t?o-France, in the
Mesoscale Modelling Group of Centre National de Recherches
M?t?orologiques (CNRM-GAME) in Toulouse, France (http://www.cnrm.meteo.fr/)
to work on the following subject:
Implementation of a global land data assimilation system (LDAS-Monde)
(24-month contracts, 12-month extensions are possible)
Funding sources: national and European research projects related to the
Copernicus Global Land Service and to
Copernicus Global Change.
CNRM is developing SURFEX, an operational modelling platform able to
simulate the terrestrial water and carbon
fluxes. SURFEX simulates the vegetation growth and has a simplified
representation of agricultural practices. SURFEX can be
coupled to a number of hydrological models.
SURFEX includes a land data assimilation system (LDAS) based on an
Extended Kalman filter, able to analyze soil moisture
and vegetation biomass at spatial resolutions ranging from 1 to 50 km.
The LDAS is preoperational over France and Earth
observation data (ASCAT soil moisture, SPOT/VGT LAI) are integrated into
the ISBA-A-gs land surface model.
The post-doctorate fellows will contribute to the
(1) extension of the LDAS at a global scale with a special attention to
the Euro-
Mediterranean area,
(2) addition of new variables (FAPAR, surface albedo, soil moisture at
several depths) in the analysis,
(3) assimilation of historical satellite observations and of new
satellite data (SMOS, SMAP, PROBA-V, S3).
The impact of the assimilation of land variables on the river discharge
will be assessed. A reanalysis of land essential climate variables
(ECVs) will be produced and assessed.
The net monthly salary will vary from about 1800 ? to 3200 ? before
income tax, depending on qualification.
Application should be done by email by sending a resume, a motivation
letter, and the names, telephone and email address of 2
referees to:
jean-christophe.calvet@meteo.fr
The closing date for applications is 31 October 2013.
The candidates should have knowledge on land surface modelling and/or
data assimilation, and/or remote sensing of continental surfaces. They
should be familiar with the FORTRAN programming language, the Linux
environment, with data analysis and graphic softwares (Python, Matlab,
PVWave, ...).

*Statistical Climatologist (San Francisco)*
The Climate Corporation is looking for an experienced statistician to solve
real-world problems in statistical climatology. We develop algorithms for
statistical inference and simulation of climate from surface weather
observations, weather radar, satellite remote sensing, GCMs, and more. Our
mission is to provide detailed probabilistic estimates of climate
variability and weather events that enable farmers around the world to
protect and improve their farming operations.
