Job Vacancy - Physical Oceanographer
Please quote ref no: BAS 58/13a
Closing date for applications: 17 Nov 2013 at 11:59pm
The British Antarctic Survey (BAS), part of the Natural Environment Research Council, aims to undertake a world-class programme of scientific research, and to sustain for the UK an active and influential regional presence and a leadership role in Antarctic affairs.
We are looking to appoint a Physical Oceanographer to a senior post within the Open Oceans group at the British Antarctic Survey (BAS), based in Cambridge, UK. The focus of the Open Oceans group is on improving the understanding of the circulation, mixing, dynamics and Earth System feedbacks in the polar oceans, using a combination of theoretical, observational and numerical analysis techniques, and assessing the implications for the global climate. The group interacts closely with the Shelf Seas group at BAS, which is focused on investigating ice and continental shelf processes, and well as with other groups in BAS focused on study of the atmosphere, cryosphere and ecosystems.
Ongoing research interests of the Open Oceans group include:
investigating mixing processes in the Southern Ocean and the Arctic Ocean at the mesoscale and submesoscale and dynamical interactions influencing the oceanic overturning circulation; assessing the representation of the coupled Southern Hemisphere system and of key Arctic teleconnections in climate models; monitoring and understanding the production and export of bottom water from the Antarctic continent into the Atlantic Ocean; monitoring the meridional overturning circulation in the South Atlantic; mapping the pathways of carbon uptake by the Southern Ocean; and understanding the physical controls on the interdisciplinary marine environment in the Scotia Sea and at the Antarctic peninsula.The tools used to conduct this research include autonomous ocean gliders, research ships, mooring arrays, dynamical analyses and advanced numerical modelling.
The postholder would be expected to lead a significant element of the Open Oceans workpackage, supervising some more junior staff, and to instigate new avenues of research. There would be opportunities to participate in fieldwork in both polar regions. The post would suit someone with postdoctoral experience looking to assume greater responsibilities.
Qualifications: Good first degree in physical science/mathematics plus PhD or equivalent postgraduate experience in same
Duration: Open-ended
Salary: Salary will be in the range of ?31,020 to ?37,500 per annum. We offer a generous benefits package including a defined salary pension scheme, free car parking, flexible working hours and 30 days annual leave.
On-line application forms and further information are available on our website at www.antarctica.ac.uk/employment
These are also available from the Human Resources Section, British Antarctic Survey, High Cross, Madingley Road, Cambridge, CB3 0ET. Tel: (01223) 221508.

Closing date for receipt of application forms is 17th November 2013
Interviews are scheduled to be held w/c 2nd December 2013
If you would like further information on this post, please email Prof. Michael Meredith on mmm@bas.ac.uk

? Two Faculty Positions in Climate/Weather Impacts and Risk Assessments ?
The Department of Atmospheric Sciences within the School of Earth, Society, and Environment at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign invites applications for two full-time tenure-track/tenured faculty positions in the areas of extreme weather events, climate change impacts, and/or risk analysis and assessment. One position is at the Associate or Full Professor level, while the other is at the Assistant Professor (tenure-track) level. These positions are both nine-month academic appointments with a target start date of August 16, 2014.
We are particularly interested in applicants whose research and teaching strengths include, but are not limited to, studies of climate change and extreme weather events, such as catastrophic storms, heat waves, droughts, and other hazardous phenomena using remote sensing techniques, numerical modeling and/or data analysis, risks and impact assessment associated with hazardous events, and management and strategic planning for weather and climate-related extreme events. Candidates who specialize in inter-disciplinary research areas with applications to the energy, commodities, agricultural, insurance, transportation, and/or natural resources sectors are encouraged to apply. We encourage applicants with exceptional strengths in other related research areas.
Qualified candidates must have a Ph.D. degree in atmospheric, environmental or earth science, or a related field. The successful candidates will be expected to: (i) establish and maintain an externally funded and internationally recognized quality research program, (ii) participate in the department?s teaching mission by mentoring graduate and undergraduate students and developing a successful teaching program, and (iii) collaborate effectively with other faculty. For a tenured appointment at the Associate or Full Professor level, the applicant must also show demonstrated excellence in research, service, and teaching at either or both the graduate and undergraduate levels, commensurate with tenure guidelines at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
The members of the Atmospheric Sciences department work in a broad range of research areas. Opportunities are available for collaborations with departments across the university, with linkages already existing with the Department of Geology and the Department of Geography and Geographic Information Science, both within the School of Earth, Society, and Environment, the School of Integrative Biology, the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Sciences, the Prairie Research Institute, the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA), the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, and many others. More information about the department can be found at www.atmos.illinois.edu, and about the School of Earth, Society and Environment at www.earth.illinois.edu.

PhD positions within the framework of the Canadian Network for Regional Climate and Weather Processes at UQAM
Three fully-funded PhD studentships are available, within the framework of the Canadian Network for Regional Climate and Weather Processes (CNRCWP), in the Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at the University of Quebec at Montreal. The main objective of the CNRCWP Network (cnrcwp.uqam.ca) funded by the Natural Science and Engineering Research Council is to augment, evaluate and exploit the added value provided by regional models in climate and weather simulations, that is afforded as a result of the expected higher resolution, improved representation of physical processes, feedbacks and interactions through a Regional Earth System Model approach. The currently available PhD positions within the Network are in the following areas:
1. Vegetation-climate interactions over North America
2. Snow-permafrost linkages and snow-albedo feedback
3. Specific statistical tests for nested-model experiments
Projects 1 and 2 will be under the supervision of Dr. Laxmi Sushama (Sushama.laxmi@uqam.ca), while project 3 will be under the supervision of Dr. Ramon de Elia (Deelia.ramon@ouranos.ca) and Prof. Ren? Laprise (lapise.rene@uqam.ca).
Successful applicants will have an MSc in Atmospheric Sciences or related disciplines. Good programming skills in Fortran, C/C++, Matlab or R, familiarity with UNIX environment and shell scripting and excellent written and oral communication skills in French and English will be definite assets. A background in inferential statistics and interest in adapting existing statistical tools within the context of regional modelling with nested models would be desirable for project 3.
Interested applicants should submit a cover letter, CV, academic transcripts and contact details of three referees to Adelina Alexandru (adelina@sca.uqam.ca) by October 20th, 2013. Candidates should indicate in the cover letter the project for which they are applying for. For further details about the projects, candidates may contact respective supervisors.
