PhD position in Cryosphere Geophysics
The Exploration and Environmental Geophysics Group and the Glaciology
Group of ETH Zurich, Switzerland have an immediate opening for a PhD
position in cryosphere geophysics. The primary topic of the project is
concerned with acquisition, processing and interpretation of
helicopter-borne ground-penetrating-radar data to be acquired in the
Swiss Alps. This will involve some technical developments (in
collaboration with external partners), development of novel data
processing algorithms, calibrations with ground-based data and joint
interpretation with other glaciological data. The final product of this
exciting project is a comprehensive inventory of Swiss Alpine glaciers
including total ice volume estimates and characterization of internal
glacier structures. The successful candidate should hold a Masters
degree either in geophysics, glaciology, physics, mathematics or
engineering, and should have a keen interest and preferably some
experience in digital signal processing and inversion theory. Some
experience in mountaineering and/or undertaking geophysical or
glaciological fieldwork would be an advantage. We are dynamic
international research groups working on a wide variety of high profile
topics in applied and computational geophysics and glaciology. The
working languages in our groups are English and German. Interested
candidates should send their Curriculum Vitae and the names and
addresses of three referees by January 31, 2014 to:
Prof. Dr. Hansruedi Maurer
Institute of Geophysics
ETH-Z?rich
Sonneggstrasse 5
CH-8092 Zurich, Switzerland

SCENARIO NERC Doctoral Training Partnership
A postgraduate centre in the Science of the Environment:
Natural and Anthropogenic pRocesses, Impacts and Opportunities
The SCENARIO DTP has been awarded 12 PhD studentships, fully-funded by
NERC, for entry in October 2014. In addition, 3 studentships funded by
the NERC Industrial CASE scheme are available. You are encouraged to
apply before 31 January 2014.
Projects offered by the SCENARIO DTP are based at the University of
Reading, the University of Surrey, the NERC Centre for Ecology and
Hydrology (CEH) or the British Geological Survey (BGS).
The scientific scope of SCENARIO is broad, spanning the physical,
chemical and biological processes operating in the Earth system,
including atmosphere, ocean, cryosphere and terrestrial components.
There are projects involving fieldwork, computer modelling,
theoretical/mathematical development and laboratory studies. SCENARIO
seeks to attract high-quality graduates (with BSc or MSc) from science,
mathematics and engineering degrees.
Please visit our website
http://www.reading.ac.uk/nercdtp
to see the range of projects on offer and instructions on how to apply.
Many of the projects involve partners from industry or public sector
organisations, such as the Met Office, offering co-supervision and time
on placement in industry. Some have additional support from the industry
partners through the CASE sponsorship scheme.
There are opportunities for SCENARIO students to work abroad at one of
our 3 international partners: the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (CalTech),
University of Oklahoma and University of Hamburg.
SCENARIO will provide PhD training ranging from in-depth disciplinary
underpinning science, to projects that explore and deepen the links
between disciplines. It will develop your skills in environmental
sciences by exploiting diverse training opportunities including:
subject-specific courses (MSc-level modules), high performance
computing, fieldwork, laboratory work, professional development and
short team-work courses.

Atmospheric Composition Change: Drivers, Feedbacks and Impacts in Air Quality and Climate
ACCENT-Plus Summer School
22-29 June 2014, Urbino (Italy)
We are now living with the Anthropocene, an age where the environmental conditions are dominated by anthropogenic activity. The aim of this EU ACCENT-Plus (Atmospheric Composition Change - The European Network) Summer School is to educate and provide the participants with the necessary background scientific knowledge to understand the current issues related to the drivers, impacts and feedback between atmospheric chemistry and climate change. This is required for research or in the formulation of environmental policies.
To achieve this objective, the course comprises lectures on the fundamentals of atmospheric chemistry and biogeochemistry as well on the impact of atmospheric composition change on air quality, human health, ecosystems, agriculture and the feedback with climate. The scientific diagnostic tools used to test our understanding and make predictions, viz. the observation of atmospheric composition and meteorological parameters and atmospheric modelling, both from the local or the global scale, are a key element of the course.
In addition, focussed sessions are planned, comprising practical exercises, lectures on advanced topics, studies of policy documents and lectures on how to improve one's communication skills.
The school targets graduate students, postdoctoral scientists, employees from environmental agencies, public administrations etc.
The attendance is limited to 50 people. The summer school fee will be about 450 euro, which includes full board, based on 2 persons sharing a room. Some rooms for single occupation are available for an extra cost of about 100 euro.
Registration for the EU ACCENT-Plus Summer School begins on the 10Th of January, 2014 and closes on the 10th of March 2014. The ACCENT-Plus Summer School team looks forward to seeing you in Urbino. If you have further questions please contact:

University of Gothenburg announce a two-year postdoc position within
atmospheric chemistry (Professor Hallquist) in the atmospheric science group
(http://tiny.cc/UgotAtmo)
The aim of this postdoc position is to quantify, understand and provide
tools to predict the human influences on secondary organic aerosol (SOA)
formation. Aerosol particles are crucial components in any evaluation
process regarding air quality and climate change. SOA represents a
significant fraction of the tropospheric aerosol. Still, the current level
of understanding of SOA processes is remarkably low compared to other
processes in aerosol science, i.e. modelled SOA based on experimental
findings and existing theory does not capture the variability of observed
SOA loadings and often predicts far less SOA than observed. It has been
indicated that biogenic SOA can be largely affected by anthropogenic
pollutants, i.e. NO2, SO2 or organic compounds e.g. aromatics and aldehydes.
The effect of anthropogenic pollutants may explain part of the discrepancy
between models and field observations. Specifically, this project applies
high resolution mass spectroscopy techniques for detailed analysis of gas
and particle phase using Chemical ionization to elucidate chemical
mechanisms of importance for atmospheric SOA (see e.g.
http://www.atmos-meas-tech-discuss.net/6/9347/2013/amtd-6-9347-2013.html). A
specific aim is how to link SOA mechanisms to model developments for
descriptions in air quality and climate models. The research tasks are
associated with ongoing projects within the group and can include laboratory
studies on SOA formation but also field measurements of anthropogenic
sources of SOA.
