Applications are invited for a Postdoctoral researcher to work in the Climate and Ocean Physics group at the University of Oxford. The post is based within the sub-department of Atmospheric, Oceanic and Planetary Physics (AOPP), Department of Physics (Oxford). The position, funded by a NERC research grant, is available as soon as possible after an offer has been made, for up to 36 months. Salary at Grade 7: ?29,541 - ?36,298 p.a.
The successful applicant will work closely with Dr Laure Zanna to develop and implement a novel parameterization of ocean mesoscale eddies in a primitive equation model, building on several active research projects in the Climate and Ocean Physics Group. More specifically, the goal of the project is to assess the mean state, variability and predictability of climate phenomena in a coupled ocean-atmosphere coarse resolution model which includes a stochastic (or statistical) parameterization of ocean eddies. These assessments will be carried out against observations and eddy-resolving simulations. This approach will improve our physical understanding of the dynamics of ocean eddies and their impact on the large-scale climate variability and predictability.
Applicants should have, or be close to obtaining a doctorate in physics, applied mathematics, engineering, or earth sciences, and ideally a strong background in climate dynamics and experience in numerical modelling.
Please direct informal enquiries about this post to Dr Laure Zanna (l.zanna1@physics.ox.ac.uk<mailto:l.zanna1@physics.ox.ac.uk>)
Only applications received before 12.00 midday on Friday 11 October 2013 can be considered. You will be required to upload a brief statement of research interests, CV and details of two referees as part of your online application.
To apply for this role and for further details, including a job description and selection criteria, go to www.recruit.ox.ac.uk<http://www.recruit.ox.ac.uk/>

3-year fixed term post
We are seeking a highly numerate scientist to undertake research in air-sea interaction. You will join a small team of scientists whose focus is the world-leading NOC Surface Flux and Marine Meteorological Dataset. This dataset is widely used in research areas such as air-sea interaction and climate change and variability studies. The dataset has been used in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change assessments, providing unique observational evidence independent of climate models.
Your main duty will be to lead the development and implementation of methods to estimate global fields of wind speed, wind direction and the air-sea exchange of momentum over the oceans from sparse, in situ meteorological observations. The dataset will span at least the last 50-years, potentially the last 100 years. It will be constructed using observations from a variety of different sources all with different uncertainty characteristics. The resulting fields will be incorporated in the NOC Surface Flux Dataset. Working closely with project scientists you will contribute to other aspects of the dataset, lead and contribute to the writing of scientific papers and present your work at international conferences. There may be opportunities to take part in field work on a research ship.

WSI Europe is a wholly owned subsidiary of WSI Corporation, and a sister company of The Weather Channel companies including weather.com and weather.co.uk. WSI Europe is a leading provider of weather services to the European media, energy and aviation markets and to some global accounts.
We have an opportunity for a bright and enthusiastic graduate in a paid internship at WSI. The internship would initially last for a period of three months from the beginning of October and provide you with forecasting training and experience and provide a reference at its conclusion. It may if the opportunity arises lead to a permanent position with WSI.
