Vacancy: PhD position in terrestrial carbon cycle model optimisation at
Lund University, Sweden
The Department of Physical Geography and Ecosystem Science is has an
opening
for a PhD student with a strong background in Physical Geography and
Ecosystems Analysis, Geoecology, Environmental Engineering, mathematics or
physics to work with model-data fusion methods on optimising terrestrial
CO2
fluxes using the LPJ-GUESS dynamic vegetation model.
The PhD student will carry out research within the project "Spatio-temporal
statistical methods for inverse modelling of CO2 fluxes" which is a
collaboration involving 4-5 senior scientists and one additional PhD
student
at the Departments of Mathematical Statistics and Physical Geography and
Ecosystem Science.
The student will work with and refine established data assimilation
techniques to exploit the complementary strengths of ecosystem flux
measurements, remote sensing data and process-based ecosystem modelling in
terms of quantifying and upscaling ecosystem CO2 fluxes from forest stands
and surrounding landscapes to a braoder regional scale.
The PhD position is for 4 years, with a preferred starting date of 1
Februar
2014.
Closing date for applications: 30 November 2013

Background information
The ability to provide accurate forecasts of the ocean and atmosphere is dependent upon accurate initialisation of the forecast models using data assimilation. The Marine Data Assimilation group within the Ocean Forecasting Research and Development area develops and maintains the data assimilation code which is used for short-range ocean forecasting as well as the ocean component of the data assimilation code for coupled ocean-atmosphere forecasts out to longer-range, including monthly and seasonal time-scales.
The ocean data assimilation system is called NEMOVAR, a variational data assimilation scheme developed for use in the NEMO ocean model with external collaborators (including ECMWF, CERFACS and INRIA). This system has been implemented in the various ocean model configurations in 3DVar first-guess-at-appropriate-time mode.
A broad range of ocean data assimilation tasks will be shared between the job holder and other marine data assimilation team members, with a specific focus on further developments to the ocean and coupled data assimilation systems for improving coupled ocean-atmosphere forecasts.
Specific job purpose
To develop the ocean and coupled ocean-atmosphere data assimilation schemes to improve the accuracy of global coupled ocean-atmosphere forecasts at time-scales ranging from a few days out to six months.
Specific job responsibilities
? Assist the development and assessment of the NEMOVAR data assimilation scheme for use in ocean and coupled ocean-atmosphere models.
? Assist the development and assessment of the coupled ocean-atmosphere data assimilation system for use in coupled ocean-atmosphere models.
? Contribute to the broader work of the group where appropriate, and to national and international projects.
? Present the work of Ocean Forecasting R&D, both at conferences and meetings and in the literature.
? Liaise with relevant groups outside Ocean Forecasting R&D, including other Met Office groups (particularly the seasonal forecasting group), the wider academic community and NEMOVAR collaborators.
Qualifications, skills and abilities required
Essential
? Degree (2:1 or above, a 2:2 may be considered in exceptional circumstances) in mathematics, physics, meteorology, oceanography or related subject with a significant mathematical content.
? Substantial post-doctoral experience in ocean science, data assimilation or a closely related area.
? Experience working with scientific computer codes.
? Knowledge of data assimilation techniques.
? Demonstrated ability to be self-driven and work well independently.
? Demonstrated, clear communication skills both written and oral.
? Ability to write scientific papers and reports.
? Ability to work well in a team environment and with other teams.
Desirable
? Experience with Met Office systems such as NEMO and NEMOVAR.
? Proven ability in developing and using ocean data-assimilation schemes.
? Relevant scientific papers published in peer-reviewed literature.
? Experience assessing the performance of numerical models.
