Amazon Hydrological Cycle: Past, Present, Future
As an enthusiastic Climate Modeller, you will be working on a project aiming to improve our understanding of the past and current variability of the hydrological cycle of the Amazon basin. The Amazon basin is a major centre for atmospheric convection, and thus changes in the hydrology of the basin as a result of climate change, or changes in vegetation cover, may influence climate globally. Existing records of the Amazon hydrological cycle (river discharge and precipitation) reveal that the Amazon is experiencing a substantial intensification. In this project we aim to better understand this recent trend by collecting new tree ring and water isotope data from the Amazon basin. We will analyse these and already existing records using an isotope enabled coupled climate land vegetation model as well as a back-trajectory based approach, developed by members of our team.
A main goal of the project is to understand an existing d18O tree ring record from Bolivia spanning the last 100 years, as well as new records to be obtained based on the same methodology at several other sites along the main air path over the Amazon. Besides tree ring records we will also collect precipitation d18O samples at three places as well as riverine d18O. Additional records include those from ice-cores. One of our aims is to increase our understanding of recent trends in the Amazon hydrological cycle revealed by river and precipitation records. We also aim to disentangle the role played by recirculation of water to the atmosphere by land vegetation, as opposed to water precipitated from incoming moist air.
You will have good mathematical skills and be familiar with running large geophysical fluid dynamics codes. Ideally, you will have familiarity with running climate models. You will be interested in a systems and big picture view of the coupled land vegetation climate system. Additionally, you will have a PhD in the field of environmental sciences, geophysical fluid dynamics or similar and a background in quantitative sciences.
Fixed term for 36 months.
University Grade 7 (?30,728 - ?36,661 p.a.)

Research Fellow in Ice-phase Aerosol-Cloud Interactions
University of Leeds -Environment
Fixed term for 3 years
Aerosol-cloud interactions introduce large uncertainty into efforts to predict the future climate. You will join a new team to investigate aerosol-cloud interactions in ice clouds developing an understanding of how aerosol perturbations affect ice dominated cloud fields. You will capitalise on a new high resolution (cloud permitting) aerosol-cloud interaction model based on the Met Office Unified Model coupled to the aerosol-chemistry representation developed at the University of Leeds. This new tool will enable you to explore the evolution of regional scale cloud fields. Understanding how aerosol perturbations feedback through changes to the thermodynamic and dynamic environment of extensive cloud fields is key to reducing the uncertainty in aerosol-cloud interactions.
Objectives of this position will include the exploration of different representations of ice nuclei (IN) and test against observations in fully coupled prognostic IN and cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) convection permitting simulations, and determining if there are any regime dependencies that lead to some physical processes dominating.
You will rapidly become an expert in the use and development of the UKCA-4a aerosol-cloud interaction model. This position will include the exploration of case studies and the proposal and testing of parametrization frameworks for representing aerosol-cloud interactions.
You will have a PhD (or close to submission) in a relevant branch of atmospheric or Earth System science with proven experience in numerical programming. You will have excellent written and verbal communication skills and have publication record of high quality peer-review journal articles.

PhD opportunities in Climate System Science
Deadline: January 31 (international applicants).
Deadline: March 31 (Australian and New Zealand citizens, Australian permanent residents).
The Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for Climate System Science is an international research consortium of five Australian universities (The University of New South Wales, Monash University, The University of Melbourne, The University of Tasmania and The Australian National University) and a suite of outstanding national and international Partner Organizations.
<http://www.climatescience.org.au<http://www.climatescience.org.au/>>
Research is particularly focused in the following five areas:
* The effects of tropical convection on Australia's climate.
* Risks, mechanisms and the attribution of changes in Australian climate extremes.
* The role of land surface forcing and feedbacks for regional climate.
* Drivers of spatial and temporal variability in extratropical Australia.
* Mechanisms and attribution of past and future ocean circulation change.
We offer graduate opportunities with world leading climate scientists. Many projects are supervised across universities and/or co-supervised by experts from the CSIRO, Bureau of Meteorology or one of our international partners.
Outstanding students may receive top-up funding above the rates of standard Australian government PhD scholarships (currently ~$25k/year).
Generous travel support exists for students to visit our international partners.
We currently offer at least three $10,000 PhD top-up scholarships for projects that focus specifically on climate or weather model development. Students may be based at any university in the ARC Centre of Excellence although this will depend on where Centre expertise is focused.

Expressions of interest are encouraged in any area of the Centre's research focus, for examples of projects available see: <www.climatescience.org.au/content/postgraduate-and-honours-projects<http://www.climatescience.org.au/content/postgraduate-and-honours-projects>>).
