PhD (DPhil) studentship on aerosol effects on convective clouds and climate
Atmospheric, Oceanic and Planetary Physics, Department of Physics, University of Oxford
We are offering a fully funded (for UK/EU applicants) studentship, to be affiliated with the newly founded Oxford Doctoral Training Programme in Environmental Research<http://www.environmental-research.ox.ac.uk>.
The primary objective of this project is to investigate aerosol effects of on convective clouds as basis for improved estimates of the anthropogenic climate effects. Theoretical considerations emphasise the importance of mixed and ice cloud microphysics for aerosol effects on convective clouds; yet, current global climate models generally do not even simulate ice-cloud microphysics for convection. This project will combine high-resolution aerosol-cloud modelling with detailed representations of aerosol and cloud microphysical processes with extensive analysis of data from field campaigns and remote sensing. One emphasis of this work will be the improvement of next-generation global aerosol climate models.
This project is part of BACCHUS, an European Union collaborative project aiming to quantify key processes and feedbacks controlling aerosol cloud interactions, and is closely aligned with related research funded by the European Research Council in the Climate Processes group. BACCHUS will establish datasets of advanced measurements of cloud and aerosol properties in unprecedented detail in combination with state-of-the-art numerical modelling. This project opportunities to experience collaborative research in a consortium of 20 leading international partners, including ETH Zurich and the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology.
More details on this PhD project and details on the application procedures can be found on the Climate Processes jobs webpage<http://www2.physics.ox.ac.uk/research/climate-processes/jobs>. The closing date for applications is 15 April 2014.
Please direct informal enquiries to Philip Stier (philip.stier@physics.ox.ac.uk<mailto:philip.stier@physics.ox.ac.uk>).

A highly numerate and computer literate physical oceanographer with sea-going experience is required to work on the NERC-funded project, SMILES (Surface Mixed Layer Evolution at Submesoscales). This 3 year project (July 1st 2014 start date) aims to identify the role played by submesoscales within the oceanic surface mixed layer and quantify the extent to which they modify the properties of Subantarctic Mode Water in the Southern Ocean. As part of this multi-institutional (Plymouth University, University of Cambridge, British Antarctic Survey, Plymouth Marine Laboratory) collaborative effort that addresses the research problem from both an observational and numerical modelling perspective, the successful candidate will be primarily responsible for collecting, analysing and interpreting the data acquired during a research cruise to the Scotia Sea in March 2015. This one month cruise will employ a variety of instrumentation including towed CTDs, vessel mounted ADCP, instrumented drogued drifters and microstructure profilers to measure submesoscales throughout an area that encompasses the subantarctic front. They will assist in the preparation for the cruise and present the results in the scientific literature and at appropriate national and international meetings. They will be located within the School of Marine Science and Engineering, Faculty of Science and Technology.

Dear Colleagues,
I am offering a post-doc position for a research project dealing with
improvement and validation of cloud microphysics in a regional climate model
Profile
PhD with an experience in atmospheric or climate modelling.
Function
The post-doctoral research will be centred on developments of the
regional climate model CCLM ( http://www.clm-community.eu ) regarding
cloud processes. This model is currently being used at our Institute (
<http://www.climate.be> ), and is supported by a large network of research
centres in Europe. Cloud and aerosol processes play a major role in
climate and air quality, and improving their representation is of
primary importance to reduce uncertainties in climate projections. The
research will build on existing experience regarding microphysics
schemes and the parameterization of aviation-induced cloudiness. It is
an opportunity to investigate key issues of climate system modelling.
The main tasks of the researcher will all relate to the CCLM model at
convection-permitting scales, and will include:
- Evaluation of one-moment and two-moment microphysics schemes for the
simulation of contrails and aviation-induced cloudiness (based on the
parameterisation developed at our Institute by Andrew Ferrone:
<http://www.pa.op.dlr.de/tac/2009/proceedings/169-216.pdf> )
- Impact of cloud microphysics complexity on surface radiation, cloud
cover and vertical humidity profiles. Evaluation of simulated cloud
fields against satellite-retrieved cloud properties from CMSAF.
- Capability of complex microphysics schemes to simulate extreme hail
events in Belgium under current and future climates. This work will be
in close collaboration with the radar division of the Royal
Meteorological Institute of Belgium
The framework for this is the MACCBET project (?Modelling Atmospheric
Composition and Climate for the Belgian Territory?) in which three other
Belgian laboratories are involved: the KULeuven, the VITO, and the Royal
Meteorological Institute. See <http://ees.kuleuven.be/maccbet/>
Qualification
PhD in atmospheric physics or related discipline; expertise in numerical
modelling is required. Autonomy as well as capacity for team work are
essential. The candidate should have a good knowledge of Fortran and
UNIX scripts and be familiar with climate data processing and
visualization. Familiarity with high performance computing would be an
asset.
Duration
This work is funded by the Belgian Science Policy Office under the
project MACCBET. The initial contract duration will be one year
(possibly extensible depending on further funding availability).
Place of work
The work will take place under the supervision of Prof. Jean-Pascal van
Ypersele ( <http://www.climate.be/vanyp> and
<http://www.linkedin.com/pub/jean-pascal-van-ypersele/19/a81/58> ) at the
?Georges Lema?tre Centre for Earth and Climate Research? (TECLIM), a
centre of excellence on climate research that is part of the Universit?
catholique de Louvain, Belgium. The Institute is located in
Louvain-la-Neuve, building Mercator, Place Louis Pasteur, 3 (25 km south
of Brussels, easily accessible by train). See
<http://www.uclouvain.be/teclim>
Salary
The salary is based on a legal scale, and is of the order of 45 to 50000
Euros per year before taxes.
Application
Applications should be sent to <jean-pascal.vanypersele@uclouvain.be> as
early as possible and before April 1, with ?MACCBET application? for
subject, a CV, motivation letter, and name, e-mail, and phone numbers of
two potential referees.
