A full-time position in analyzing electromagnetic data at the Icelandic Meteorological Office
The role of the Icelandic Meteorological Office in monitoring, information dissemination and research of volcanic eruption processes has been greatly expanded in recent years. A major investment has been carried out in infrastructure related to monitoring of eruptions and their effect on the atmosphere. Today a dedicated group of specialists works at the Icelandic Meteorological Office working on these topics.
Main role and responsibilities
The successful candidate is expected to lead the development of applications of remote sensing data (from Lidars, ceilometers and satellites) to monitor natural hazards in real-time, with special emphasis on products detecting and monitoring volcanic ash. Furthermore, he is expected to develop system to manage data streams from instruments and generate products to be used operationally by the IMO for real-time monitoring and the issuance of warnings. Management of projects relating to remote sensing and participation in the planning and implementation of systems to monitor airborne particulates. A leading role in the communication with stakeholders both within and outside Iceland, including EUMETSAT.
Requirements
? A doctorate in Physics or comparable education
? Experience in analysis of data, research and/or development of satellite based products
? Good interpersonal and organizational skills
? Ability to work independently and as part of a team
? Ability to communicate team results
? Initiative and professional competence
? Solid background in computers and programming ability (Unix/Linux)
? Good knowledge of Icelandic and/or English
? Experience in project management would be advantageous
The deadline for application is 18 November 2013.
Salary is according to the appropriate civil service level.
Applications and accompanying documents should preferably be submitted in electronic form by e-mail to borgar@vedur.is. Applicants should send a CV and a cover letter, including the names and contact information of two individuals willing to supply letters of reference. Applications and accompanying documents that are not submitted in electronic form must be sent in duplicate to the Icelandic Meteorological Office, B?sta?avegur 7?9, IS-150 Reykjav?k, Iceland. All applications will be answered and applicants will be informed about the appointment when a decision has been made.
For further information contact: Halld?r Bj?rnsson, Coordinator of Weather and Climate Research (halldor@vedur.is, tel. +354-522-6000), J?runn Har?ard?ttir, Managing Director of Processing and Research (jorunn@vedur.is, tel. +354-522-6000), Borgar ?var Axelsson, Human Resources Manager (borgar@vedur.is, tel.+354-522-6000).

Apologies for cross-postings.

------------------------
Applications are invited for a post-doctoral position at the Rosenstiel School
of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences (RSMAS), University of Miami.
The position is for 1 year initially, with possible renewal up to 2.5 years
based on performance. Review of applications will begin Dec. 9.
The project's goal is to tro to infer the sensitivities of atmospheric convection
to ambient humidity, using field observations from the DYNAMO campaign
(held in 2011-12 in the equatorial Indian ocean). Key observations will be
humidity data, including time-height profiles we will need to retrieve or deduce
from multichannel passive microwave remote sensing, as well as data on
convective cloud systems, such as Doppler radar-derived wind divergence
profiles we will need to derive and validate. Key tools will include multivariate
(matrix) linear algebra, for statistical retrievals (inversions) and relationship
estimation, but well grounded in meteorological physical sensibility.
The successful applicant will have a PhD in atmospheric or related science,
preferably with prior experience in data analysis of relevant observations, and
good skills in scientific deduction and communication of scientific findings.
Applicants should include a 1-page statement of research interests and
relevant experience, and a CV including contacts for three references,
to http://um.hodesiq.com/job_detail.asp?JobID=4044528<http://um.hodesiq.com/job_detail.asp?JobID=4044528&user_id=&ViewAll=> by Dec. 9 for
certainty of consideration.
Questions may be directed to Dr. Brian Mapes, mapes@miami.edu<mailto:mapes@miami.edu>.

Dear colleagues.
I am pleased to announce two new positions at the International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD), headquartered in Kathmandu Nepal. We are looking for people with doctoral degrees in atmospheric science, environmental engineering, chemical engineering or related fields, preferably with extensive work experience.
ICIMOD is an eight country intergovernmental organization dedicated to research, knowledge dissemination, and policy advocacy to help improve the lives of people in the mountain areas of the Hindukush Himalaya region. ICIMOD's recently established Atmosphere Initiative (part of the Regional Programme on Cryosphere and Atmosphere) aims to improve scientific understanding of atmospheric issues in the region by building up in-house observations and modeling, and by coordinating regional networking and collaboration. The Atmosphere Initiative also aims to work with practitioners and policy makers to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases, short-lived climate pollutants and other air pollutants, as well as to build capacity in the region by hosting short courses and setting up a new degree program in atmospheric science.
We are conducting a simultaneous search for two positions to complement our existing team. In particular we are looking for the two new hires to bring expertise in:
* Aerosol measurements using in-situ and ground-based remote sensing and optical instruments.
* Analysis of satellite observations of atmospheric composition.
* Building emissions inventories.
* Running offline and coupled chemistry transport models, focusing particularly on analyzing scenarios of emission reductions.
* Teaching, mentoring and developing university level curricula in atmospheric science.
We have artificially divided the two positions into:
1. An aerosol scientist with expertise in aerosol measurements and analysis of remote sensing atmospheric data, with strong teaching and curriculum development experience, as well as some exposure to modeling, emission inventory development, and emissions sources.
2. An air quality specialist with expertise in using atmospheric chemistry transport models to analyze emission reduction scenarios, with an understanding of the engineering aspects of emissions reduction, as well as with strong teaching and curriculum development experience.
Applicants with a different combination of the above listed skills are strongly encouraged to apply. We plan to select the two finalists at the same time.
The position is based at ICIMOD Headquarters in Kathmandu, Nepal, with frequent opportunities to travel in the region as well as to international conferences and meetings. ICIMOD Headquarters employs 200+ people from ~20 countries. It has diplomatic status in Nepal, so the position is tax-free for expatriate staff. ICIMOD provides excellent salary and benefits, including retirement plans, health insurance, moving expenses, paid vacation time, as well as family and schooling allowances. Expat staff and their families receive annual round-trip tickets back to their home countries, a housing allowance in Nepal, and tax-free status.
The application deadline is 1 December 2013. Applications must be submitted through ICIMOD's online application system at http://www.icimod.org/vacancies .
Please feel free to email me at apanday@icimod.org<mailto:apanday@icimod.org> if you have any questions.
Best regards,
Arnico K. Panday
