Open position as Scientific Programmer in Global Climate Modeling at ETH Zurich / Center for Climate System Modeling
Background: The Center for Climate Systems Modeling (C2SM, http://www.c2sm.ethz.ch) supports research activities in climate modeling and climate data analysis of more than 25 groups from several partner institutions in the Zurich area. In particular, C2SM and ETH are currently involved in the development, maintenance, and hosting of the aerosol and chemistry model HAMMOZ (https://redmine.hammoz.ethz.ch/projects/hammoz), which is currently coupled to the MPI Earth Sytem Model (MPI-ESM). In the coming year, coupling of HAMMOZ to the recently developed global climate model ICON is planed.
Job description: C2SM is seeking to appoint a Scientific Programmer (100%) to support climate scientists in the following specific tasks:
? Maintenance of the MPI-ESM-HAMMOZ climate-aerosol model
? Development of the coupled ICON-HAMMOZ model
? Porting and testing of climate codes on new computer architectures
? Development of model output pre- and post-processing tools
? Management of model input data
? Provision of support to climate model users.
Required qualifications:
? Master or PhD in Atmospheric Science, Physics, Mathematics, Computer Science, or related fields
? Excellent programming skills in Fortran and possibly C/C++, in a Linux/Unix environment
? Experience in high-performance computing and parallel programming
? Practical knowledge in handling large datasets and usual climate data formats (e.g., netCDF)
? Ability to work as part of a model development / managing team and to collaborate with colleagues with a wide range of scientific backgrounds and levels of expertise
? Ability to, and interest in, providing support to students and scientists within a large community
? Interest in climate sciences in a broad sense
? Excellent communication skills in English
Initial appointment at ETH Zurich is for 2 years with possibility of extension. Expected starting date is March 2013. This position offers internationally competitive salary (based upon qualifications and experience) in a stimulating, international and cross-institutional environment.
To apply: Applications should be submitted electronically to the following link:
https://pub.refline.ch//845721/2890/++publications++/1/index.html
(including a letter of interest, a CV, and the names and contact information of 2-3 references). Evaluation of applications will begin immediately and will continue until the position is filled. Potential applicants seeking further information are invited to contact C2SM Executive Director Isabelle Bey (isabelle.bey@env.ethz.ch).

**Closing the gap between land surface and flood inundation modelling**
http://www.bris.ac.uk/geography/prospective-postgraduates/funded/
Project Description: - Flooding impacts more people in the UK and globally than any other hazard, meaning that the capability to simulate and forecast floodplain inundation in a consistent manner anywhere on the Earth's surface is highly desirable. However, there is a capability gap between land surface schemes, which predict runoff when coupled with operational atmospheric models, and hydraulic models able to simulate flood inundation and propagation over the land surface. Specifically, although most land surface models have a river routing scheme, these do not include sufficient process representation to simulate dynamic flood inundation, the attenuation of flood waves caused by floodplains along river networks or surface water hydraulics. This PhD will develop and evaluate a method to close this gap and for the first time simulate flooding over the whole UK using a land surface scheme that includes the physical processes necessary to simulate inundation in two spatial dimensions. The outcome of this research would be an inundation model capable of national scale near real-time simulation of surface water flooding, which could be used by the National Flood Forecasting Centre. For further details please see the attached document.
The studentship would be based at the University of Bristol funded by GW4+ DTP, plus a NERC Industrial CASE Award (with Met Office)
The closing date for the studentship is Friday 10th January 2014 and further information is available about how to apply and eligibility on the GW4+ Doctoral Training Partnership website: http://www.bristol.ac.uk/gw4plusdtp/.
Regards,
Heather

The CNRS is inviting applications for a 2-year postdoctoral research
position to undertake high-resolution model analysis to investigate
dynamical processes in the Southern Ocean.
The post is attached to the Exciting project, which aims at mapping and
unveiling the dynamics of the tri-dimensional structure of the meridional
overturning circulation in the Southern Ocean. The successful applicant
will investigate the dynamics associated to cross-frontal exchange and
mixing in the Antarctic Circumpolar Current using a state-of-the art
high-resolution ocean model (NEMO framework). Cross-frontal exchange and
dynamics in the model will be investigated using Lagrangian particles
diagnosis. The study will build on observation-based analysis demonstrating
that cross-front transport in the ACC is highly asymmetric. Cross-front
exchanges at ocean surface is localized in the lee of bathymetric features
with more than 75% of crossing events occurring in regions corresponding to
only 20% of the ACC?s zonal extent. The goal of this study will be to
investigate the vertical structure of this exchange and its time-variability.
In addition, strong emphasis will be given to the jet/topography
interactions and the dynamics associated to it (e.g. vertical propagation
of momentum flux, form drag, stratification, vertical velocities). Strong
connexions between this model-based analysis and observation-based analysis
will be made. We particularly seek a researcher with an interest in and
talent in ocean model analysis and ability in running numerical simulations
to develop deeper dynamical understanding of ocean circulation and climate.
The researcher will join a team of scientists at LOCEAN-IPSL in Paris and
will strongly collaborate with project partners at the National
Oceanography Centre (Jan Zika in Southampton, UK) and LPO (Bruno Blanke in
Brest, France).

Informal requests for further information may be addressed to Dr
Jean-Baptiste Sall?e (jbsall@bas.ac.uk).
