The Position
CSIRO offers PhD graduates an opportunity to launch their scientific careers through our Office of the Chief Executive (OCE) Postdoctoral Fellowships (PDF). Successful applicants will work with leaders in the field of science and receive personal development and learning opportunities.
Applications are invited for a 3-yr OCE PDF in estimating Australian emissions of synthetic greenhouse gases (SGGs). SGGs are Australia?s fastest growing (~10%/yr) greenhouse gas (GHG) emission sector and currently make up about 15% of Australia?s GHG forcing that contributes to global long-term climate change. The project will enable Australia to demonstrate the viability and efficacy of atmospheric verification as applied to national SGG emissions.
Please see the attachment for full details.

A position in data assimilation coupled to aerosols is available from 1 January 2014 at the Department of Physics, Faculty of Mathematics and Physics, University of Ljubljana, Slovenia, (http://www.fmf.uni-lj.si, http://meteo.fmf.uni-lj.si).
Position is at the post-doc level but qualified candidates without PhD will also be considered.
Suitable candidates are highly motivated people with a solid background in physics and mathematics and specialization in atmospheric sciences. The candidate for a post-doc level position should ideally have a PhD degree in atmospheric sciences and he/she is expected to have experience in Fortran programming, running and analyzing atmospheric data and model outputs. A degree in data assimilation or atmospheric aerosol modeling is a further advantage. A candidate without PhD should have a MSc degree in atmospheric sciences and a strong interest in variational data assimilation. The employment in this case can be extended towards PhD depending on candidate?s success.
Working conditions and salary are competitive. The position is for two years with a possibility for extension. The application material required includes curriculum vitae with the publication list, research statement and names and contact details of two individuals who are familiar with the applicant?s work (preferably former supervisors).
Applications and inquiries from all nations should be sent to Prof. Nedjeljka ?agar, nedjeljka.zagar@fmf.uni-lj.si. Applications will be considered as arriving until the position is filled.
Please see the attachment for further details.

PhD position in atmospheric convection, Department of Atmospheric and
Oceanic Sciences (AOS), McGill University, Montr?al, QC, Canada
McGill University is an English-speaking university located in Montreal,
one of North America's most cosmopolitan cities. For more information
about McGill University and the Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic
Sciences, please visit http://www.mcgill.ca/meteo.
Project description: Although the basic dynamics and microphysics of
midlatitude convective storms are well established, the detailed
processes controlling storm initiation and evolution remain elusive. As
a consequence, the predictability of these storms in weather and climate
models is limited. To address these challenges, this project will study
convective storms from both process and predictability perspectives.
The processes will be investigated using cloud-resolving numerical
simulation, to resolve the sub-cloud circulations responsible for
convection initiation and the multi-scale turbulent drafts controlling
storm development. A focus of this effort will be the influence of
mesoscale forcing (mountains, sea breezes, and other topographic
features) on convection initiation and evolution. To bridge the gap to
weather prediction, ensemble forecasts with a convective-scale weather
prediction model will be used to quantify the sensitivity of storm
development to uncertainties across a range of spatiotemporal scales.
There is also the possibility of participation in a large field campaign
in 2015 to intensively observe convective processes over complex terrain.
The PhD candidate will work within a larger research program on
Mesoscale and Radar Meteorology at McGill, which consists of
approximately 20 students, postdocs, and AOS faculty.
Qualifications: We are seeking a motivated candidate with a strong
interest in atmospheric science and strong technical skills. The ideal
background is a B.Sc. or M.Sc. in Mathematics, Applied Mathematics,
Physics, a physical science (Atmospheric Science, Geophysics, Astronomy,
etc.), Engineering, or Computer Science. Good oral and written
proficiency in English is required.
Review of applications will begin immediately, for entry in Winter 2014
and Fall 2014. The position will remain open until filled. Applications
should be submitted through AOS's graduate programs site:
http://www.mcgill.ca/meteo/academics/graduate

UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO
DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICS
Post-Doctoral Positions in Arctic Atmospheric Research
Applications are invited for two Post-Doctoral Fellowships in Arctic
Atmospheric Research affiliated with the Probing the Atmosphere of the
High Arctic (PAHA) project. Using measurements from the Polar
Environment Atmospheric Research Laboratory (PEARL) at Eureka, Nunavut
and measurements from other sites around the Arctic and the rest of the
globe, the PAHA project is investigating the changing atmosphere of the
Canadian High Arctic. This project also operates in association with the
NSERC CREATE Training Program in Arctic Atmospheric Science.
One Post-Doctoral Fellowship is available for each of the following
projects:
Composition Measurements ? Measurements of atmospheric composition, made
with UV-visible and Fourier transform infrared spectrometers at PEARL,
are being used to investigate biomass burning and continental influence
on the Arctic, greenhouse gases related to the carbon cycle, and ozone
and related species. This PDF position will involve instrument
operations; the collection, retrieval, numerical analysis of data; and
interpretation of the measurements to address scientific questions
related to long-range transport in the Arctic, the carbon cycle, and
ozone depletion and recovery. This project is supervised by Prof.
Kimberly Strong.
Satellite Validation ? Satellite validation establishes the accuracy and
reliability of satellite measurements through comparisons with
well-characterized data sets. We are using the PEARL data set for
validating current satellite missions focusing on trace gases and
aerosol properties. This PDF position will involve conducting
statistical comparisons between PEARL and satellite data sets (initially
ACE, GOSAT and OSIRIS); employing innovative comparison methods; and
collaborating with satellite science teams and other ground-based
measurement sites. This project is supervised by Prof. Kaley Walker.
Both positions will be based within the Earth, Atmospheric, and
Planetary Physics Group in the Department of Physics at the University
of Toronto. Depending upon the development and interests of the
candidates and the PAHA project, there may be opportunity for field work
at PEARL. This would entail working in the High Arctic in remote
conditions far from medical and technical resources.
Candidates should have a recent Ph.D. in atmospheric science, physics,
chemistry, engineering, or a related field. Applicants should submit a
curriculum vitae and a one-page statement indicating how they would
expect to contribute to either of the above projects by addressing their
suitability for the project based on their experience and research
interests. Applicants should also arrange for two academic reference
letters to be submitted independently. Applications and reference
letters should be sent by e-mail in either PDF or DOC format to
applications@candac.ca. Review of applications will begin on November 1,
2013 and decisions will be made by November 30, 2013. Appointments
under this program are for two years.
We invite prospective candidates to visit the following websites for
additional information:
