Postdoctoral Research position in Antarctic Mass Balance estimation from EO data (Resolving Antarctic ice mass TrEndS: RATES)
The aim of this project is to produce a reconstruction of Antarctic mass trends, by combining complementary measurements from (i) radar and laser altimetry, (ii) satellite gravity measurements (GRACE), and (iii) bedrock vertical motion from GPS, using a Bayesian statistical framework. The synthesis will also provide an estimate of glacio-isostatic adjustment that is data driven.
A background in some aspect of environmental sciences is desirable. You should have experience in the analysis, interpretation, and visualisation of satellite datasets such as altimetry, GRACE and/or GPS.
If successful, you may be appointed either on a fixed-term or a permanent contract depending on the extent of your previous relevant research experience. Further information can be found at www.bristol.ac.uk/personnel/ftc/<http://www.bristol.ac.uk/personnel/ftc/>. The funding for the post is for 18 months. Further particulars can be found in the link below

Interviews are likely to be held in the week commencing 24th March, and the expected start date is May/June. Informal enquires welcome.

Post doc position at CCST/INPE
Earth System Science Center - CCST
National Institute for Space Research (INPE, Brazil)
Project: Salinization and pollutant sources tracing in the Recife
Metropolitan Region (RMR) Aquifers
Within the framework of a French-Brazilian scientific collaboration
supported by the National Research Agency (ANR), the FACEPE and FAPESP
in Brazil, the COQUEIRAL project aims at identifying the salinization
sources and processes in the Recife Metropolitan Region (RMR) aquifer
systems and to identify inorganic pollution sources, both under global
environmental change and societal constraints. Results will be gathered
in a 3D numerical hydrogeological model that will also be used as a
predicting tool running with future climatic scenarios and societal
evolution scenarios.
Coastal regions such as the RMR are susceptible to various impacts of
climate change, although sea level rise is arguably the greatest concern
for these low coastal regions. Long?term global sea?level measurements
have indicated sea?levels are rising at increasing rates. Outputs from
GCMs (General Circulation Models) and RCMs (Regional Circulation Models)
regarding possible change in rainfall and sea level rise will be used to
run future scenario for groundwater in the study area. Projections of
changes of rainfall generated by regional model at higher resolution
(15, 40 km) by 2010?2100 relative to the present 1961?90 are being
generated for various GHG emission scenarios for the RMR. The candidate
will be in charge of the construction of the Future climate scenarios of
the RMR in collaboration with all partners, and will manage data
processing and interpretation.
The candidate should have a P.D. in Meteorology, Oceanography,
Hydrology, and must have skills in programming, visualization and
experience in climate modeling and statistical analyses working with
large datasets and numerical models. Fluency in English is required.
This is a 12 month post-doctoral position at FAPESP (S?o Paulo Research
Foundation), with activities to be developed at the Earth System Science
Center CCST at the National Institute for Space Research INPE in
Cachoeira Paulista ? S?o Paulo. Inscriptions open until March 2014 and
work is expected to start as soon as the position is filled.

The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering and Earth Sciences
at the University of Notre Dame has an open one-year position for a
post-doctoral scholar, with possible extension to two years. General
responsibilities are independent and collaborative, directed, research
related to one or more of the following: mesoscale modeling, processes,
data assimilation, and predictability in and around complex terrain. The
appointee will conduct research, present results at PI meetings and
academic conferences, and prepare results for publication in
peer-reviewed journals.
Qualifications include:
1.Ph.D. in Atmospheric Sciences or a related field.
2.Familiarity and understanding of the Weather Research and Forecast
(WRF) model, including experience setting up experiments, executing them
on massively parallel computers, and analyzing the output.
3.An understanding of basic predictability concepts, and knowledge of
how to assess predictive skill.
4.Strong oral and written communication skills.
Additional experience, not necessary but desirable, may include:
1.Mesoscale data assimilation, especially ensemble data assimilation.
2.Modeling in complex terrain.
3.Observation processing and quality control.
4.Analysis of boundary-layer processes, and Earth-atmosphere interactions.
The appointment provides a salary, subject to U.S. income tax, of
$60,000.00 and benefits as described at the following link:
http://hr.nd.edu/assets/121245/p1_benefit_summary_2014.pdf
The appointee will reside as a visitor at NCAR in the Research
Applications Laboratory, and work closely with scientists there.
Interested candidates should email a letter of interest and a curriculum
vitae to: Josh Hacker (hacker@ucar.edu <mailto:hacker@ucar.edu>) and Joe
Fernando (Harindra.J.Fernando.10@nd.edu
