UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS AT URBANA CHAMPAIGN, URBANA, USA Department of Atmospheric Sciences School of Earth, Society, and Environment
? 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.
A competitive salary, commensurate with position, qualifications and experience, and an excellent benefits package will be offered.

Hello,
a reminder that the closing date for the vacancy of verification scientist has been extended to 31 December 2013.
A reminder that the Met Office operates an application form recruitment process. Please make sure that you provide all relevant evidence for the role on the form. Information provided in attached CVs (not repeated on the form) will not be considered.
Background
The Met Office, as a world leading authority in meteorology, produces and delivers weather forecasts from a range of deterministic and ensemble numerical weather prediction models, which are used to generate a wide array of products to deliver to customers worldwide. The Numerical Modelling section of Weather Science is responsible for the scientific testing, upgrade and maintenance of the operational forecast modelling system, the Unified Model (MetUM). This includes all configurations from the high-resolution km-scale (deterministic UKV and MOGREPS-UK ensemble). The model diagnostics and novel verification methods team's purpose is to keep up with the developments in the modelling system through the development and application of appropriate methods for measuring forecast performance, analysing systematic forecast behaviour and diagnosing model errors. This also involves exploiting new data types. Invariably the objective is to add new methods and data sources to the operational systems which are used to monitor routine performance. It is an exciting interface with many opportunities for interacting with the model development teams on the one hand, and forecasters on the other. This is a fantastic opportunity to develop, support and use scientific software to deliver world-leading science outcomes for a high-profile, world-class scientific organisation, with in house super-computing capabilities.
Job Purpose
To apply scientific and technical knowledge to contribute to monitoring, detecting and diagnosing the origins of model systematic behaviour through the use of existing, and development of new methods for the improvement of the modelling system.
About the role
Working in a small, talented team of scientists, and collaborating with colleagues and contacts from within the Met Office and beyond, you will monitor, detect and diagnose the origins of model systematic behaviour by using existing - and developing and integrating new - methods for the improvement of the modelling system. Your technical and scientific expertise will help us to diagnose where changes are necessary to further improve the accuracy of our forecasts. Variety is the key word here: one day, you could be looking at cloud processes to improve forecasts for our aviation customers; the next, you're working with one of our external partners, the Environment Agency for example, to further improve flood forecasting.
About you
You're a scientist with impressive programming skills. You will have a 2:1 degree (or above) in a physics/mathematics-based science subject and, ideally, relevant postgraduate experience and/or qualifications. If you're joining us at a more senior level, we will also expect you to have significant relevant experience. When it comes to programming, you'll be confident writing scientific software (Fortran, Shell scripting, Python), and at a more senior level, you will have a demonstrable ability in designing and developing large complex codes. We would also like you be skilled in the use of appropriate data sets and data analysis techniques (and comfortable working with large data sets).
As well as your technical and analytical strengths, you must have confident communication skills, in writing and in person. It is important that you're able to convey your views clearly and concisely, to both scientific and non-scientific colleagues. With a collaborative approach, you enjoy sharing insight, knowledge and experience with your scientific colleagues. Joining us at a more senior level, you will also be expected to lead diagnostic activities and train your colleagues outside the team in the use of diagnostic and verification tools.
