Two (2) Post-doc positions in lightning meteorology, lightning nowcasting
and forecasting, at the National Observatory of Athens, Greece
Supervisor: Dr Kostas Lagouvardos (Institute for Environmental Research,
National Observatory of Athens, NOA)
Project: TALOS
Application deadline: 17 February 2014
Among the primary objectives of this project (TALOS: Thunder and Lightning
Observing System) is:
(a) To develop an operational tool for nowcasting/very short-term
forecasting of lightning activity over Greece based on lightning data. This
tool will provide real-time information on the lightning activity over
Greece, while application of a lightning-tracking algorithm will allow
providing very short-term forecasting (1-2 hours) of thunderstorm
propagation.
(b) To develop operational tool for forecasting lightning activity
over Greece for the next 48 hours, based on parameters forecasted by WRF
model, in operational use at NOA.
(c) To work on the methodology, implementation and validation of a
lightning assimilation technique applied to weather models with the aim to
improve the quantitative precipitation forecasts.
This project is funded by the Greek General Secretariat for Research and
Technology and it has duration of 17 months. Therefore, the two positions
offer contracts of 17 month duration, each, starting in March 1st 2014, at
NOA's premises in the northern suburbs of Athens, Greece.
Candidates should hold a PhD in Atmospheric Science, Meteorology or a
related field and preferably in the fields of numerical weather prediction
and lightning. Very good knowledge of English is required, as well as
expertise in working with Fortran and/or C in Linux/Unix environment.
Interested candidates should send their Curriculum Vitae and a
recommendation letter by 17 February 2014 to Dr Kostas Lagouvardos

University of Leeds
National Centre for Atmospheric Science and the UK Met Office
Numerical Analyst in Chemistry-Aerosol Modelling
Fixed term for 2 years 9 months
University Grade 7 (?30,728 - ?36,661 p.a.)
The United Kingdom Chemistry and Aerosol (UKCA) model is a joint NCAS-Met Office programme. Project partners are the Hadley Centre and the Universities of Cambridge, Leeds and Oxford.
The UKCA model addresses key scientific questions relating to chemistry-aerosol-climate interactions and has since its initiation, evolved into a sophisticated model. It supports a variety of chemistry schemes and an improved aerosol microphysics component and is used in numerous studies of joint NERC-Met Office interest (e.g. aerosol-cloud interactions, regional air quality forecasting, and centennial global climate realisations). At the core of UKCA are numerical integrators which solve systems of ordinary differential equations describing the transformation of chemical tracers and the gas to particle partioning of ammonia, sulphuric acid and nitric acid into the size-resolved ammonium/sulphate/nitrate aerosol.
Employed by the University of Leeds, you will be based at the UK Met Office in Exeter, with visits to UKCA partner Universities of Cambridge, Leeds, and Oxford, as appropriate.
You will have a PhD (or be close to obtaining one) and research interests in numerical analysis and/or high performance computing. You will have proven skills in numerical modelling, numerical analysis, high performance computing, and fortran programming.

PhD position in Chemical Oceanography at Uni Research AS, Bergen, Norway
A 3-year PhD position in Chemical Oceanography is available at Uni Climate, within the Norwegian Research Council project Ventilation age and remineralisation rates in polar and sub-polar regions as an indicator for climate change (VENTILATE).
Uni Climate is a department of Uni Research AS and a partner in the Bjerknes Centre for Climate Research (BCCR), together with the University of Bergen, the Institute of Marine Research and the Nansen Environmental and Remote Sensing Center.
Project description
VENTILATE aims to increase our understanding of the climatically relevant link between physical processes and the oceanic carbon cycle, and how this relationship is affected by the anthropogenic climate change. Using a combination of observational data and model data outputs VENTILATE will study physical and biological processes of importance for the oceanic carbon fluxes in the Nordic Seas and the Arctic Ocean. The interdisciplinary work will include tracer-based studies of decadal variability in water mass ventilation, oceanic carbon fluxes inferred from tracers, and present and future water mass evolution, in the Nordic Seas and the Arctic Ocean.
Requirements
We are seeking a highly motivated candidate interested in the combination of biogeochemical cycles and physical processes in the oceans. The PhD candidate will take part in research cruises, sampling and analyses of the tracers chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and sulphur hexafluoride (SF6) in seawater, quality control of the data, perform data analysis, and writing scientific papers.
She/he will also make use of ocean biogeochemical model output to evaluate data uncertainties and mechanisms of the observed variability.
The candidate must hold a master's degree or equivalent in chemical oceanography/marine chemistry, physical oceanography, or related fields. Experience in advanced data analysis in Matlab or R will be advantageous. Good communication skills in both written and spoken English are essential. Applicants have to be capable of independent work, and be willing to spend a total of two months in Kiel, hosted by Dr. Toste Tanhua, at GEOMAR, for exchange of knowledge in analytical issues, data analysis, and preparation of a scientific paper.
The applicant must have achieved a master's degree or equivalent or have submitted their master thesis for assessment by the application deadline. It is a prerequisite that the formal admission requirements of the PhD programme are met before an appointment can be made.
Salary is in accordance with the Civil Service pay grade table scale for PhD students.
Uni Research AS offers Group Pension Insurance and Personnel Insurance Scheme for their employees. The successful applicant must comply with the guidelines that apply to the position at any time.
Further information
For further information, contact Dr Emil Jeansson via phone +47 55589833 or email emil.jeansson@uni.no<mailto:emil.jeansson@uni.no>.
For more information about Uni Climate, Uni Research AS and BCCR, please refer to http://uni.no and http://www.bjerknes.uib.no.
Additional information
Earliest starting date: 1 July 2014.
The successful applicant will be part of the doctoral program at The University of Bergen, which includes course work.
