The Division of Atmospheric Sciences at the Department of Physics,
University of Helsinki, is seeking a PhD student to work with a three
year project ?Modelling of Surface Urban Energy and Water Balance in
high latitude cities?. The length of the project is 1.1.2014 ?
31.12.2016, and at first the contract is made for one year. The PhD
student is expected to start in early 2014.
Currently over 50% of world?s population lives in urban areas and it is
therefore vital to understand and model the processes affecting the
urban climate and human well being. The purpose of the project is to
improve the description of high latitude cities in atmospheric models,
and to understand how urban planning and climate affect the surface
energy and water balances in these areas. The PhD involves analysis of
observational data from the SMEAR III station (Station for Measuring
Ecosystem-Atmosphere relations, http://www.atm.helsinki.fi/SMEAR/) in
Helsinki, and development of the Surface Urban Energy and Water balance
scheme (SUEWS) to simulate cities located at high latitudes and/or in
cold climates. PhD student is expected to finish her/his doctoral
studies during the project. In the recruit process, special weight will
be given to experience in analyzing measurement data and experience in
programming (e.g., Fortran, C, Matlab, Python).
The Division of Atmosphere Sciences at the University of Helsinki
(http://www.physics.helsinki.fi/tutkimus/atm/english/) is one the
world?s leading groups in the research of atmospheric sciences extending
from aerosol particle nucleation to turbulent exchange and atmospheric
modeling. The division has also a long experience in urban meteorology
and particularly in the surface-atmosphere exchange studies.
The applicant should have a Master degree in atmospheric or climate
sciences, physics, geophysics, or a closely related discipline. The
applicant should be fluent in English and with good communication
skills. Applicants should include a CV and the names of two academic
referees. The applications should be sent to leena.jarvi(at)helsinki.fi
and the deadline is 4 December 2013.

Dear colleague,
Could you please circulate the following position to your current students.
Thank you.
*Subject:** Contribution to the development of the PROCLIM datasets and
services on European future climate*
TEC is an international consulting agency, specialized in climate
services, climate change impact and adaptation founded in 2001 associating
several researchers, some of whom participate to IPCC.
We propose an internship on our innovative project, PROCLIM, a private
climate service, derived from the CORDEX project. The internship would
ideally last six months from February or March and would provide you some
computing training, some consulting experience and a reference in a leading
research company. Short term or permanent positions might be considered as
a follow-up of a successful internship.
PROCLIM aims to develop some ready-to-use databases, indicators and
services, allowing local authorities and others clients to engage in
climate change adaptation on a robust basis. You would perform a database
managing strong specifications and scientific climate model. You would also
use statistical skills to represent climate models? uncertainties and may
popularize it in our communication documents.
You should hold or study a degree in meteorology, computing or statistics.
We expect you to demonstrate a strong interest in weather or climate, an
interest in consultancies as well as in business development.
*Important: all applicants must be qualified to work in the European
Economic Community*
*Conditions** : *The internship will be governed by a convention signed
with your school or university. It will follow the French regulations on
internship.
*Contact*

Message-ID: <528B9784.80106@iau.uni-frankfurt.de>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-15"
In the research group Theory of Atmospheric Dynamics and Climate at the
Institute of Atmospheric and Environmental Sciences of the
Johann-Wolfgang-Goethe-University Frankfurt there is a vacancy for a
Research Scientist (Akademische/r Rat/R?tin auf Zeit)
The initial appointment will be for three years.
Applicants should hold a PhD in meteorology, physics, applied
mathematics, fluid dynamics, astronomy or a related field. Expected is a
very strong background in theory and/or modeling and a capability for
research in atmosphere dynamics. The specific research field shall be
the theory of mesoscale and sub-mesoscale wave dynamics and its
interaction with larger-scale systems. The ultimate objective is the
improvement of the description of gravity waves in weather and climate
models.
The post offers the opportunity for further scientific qualification
within the German system (Habilitation). Within this framework a modest
participation in teaching in the meteorology program and in attracting
external funding is expected. The research activity is to be embedded
both in a national research initiative on the multi-scale dynamics of
gravity waves, and in the corresponding international scientific community.
Some information on the research group can be found under
http://www2.uni-frankfurt.de/45681958/Theory-of-Atmospheric-Dynamics-and-Climate.
Its focus is on scale interactions in atmosphere dynamics, with
applications to large-scale low-frequency variability and to
gravity-wave dynamics. Middle-atmosphere dynamics is another field of
work. Techniques used include multi-scale asymptotics, stochastic
methods, and numerical simulation. Inquiries should be addressed to
Prof. Dr. Ulrich Achatz (achatz@iau.uni-frankfurt.de).
Applications with the usual documents (CV, diplomas, and a list of
publications) should be sent by January 15, 2014 to Prof. Dr. Ulrich
Achatz, Johann Wolfgang Goethe-Universit?t Frankfurt, Institut f?r
Atmosph?re und Umwelt, Altenh?ferallee 1, 60438 Frankfurt am Main,
Germany. Applications will be considered beyond this date until the post
has been filled.
