We are looking for highly motivated students to work on ocean modelling and data assimilation. The projects involve carrying out simulations of the North Atlantic using a coupled ice-ocean model (NEMO+CICE). One project involves implementation and testing of a new turbulence parameterization in the NEMO ocean model, and the other involves assimilating data to support glider missions in the Labrador Sea. Both projects will be funded through the VITALS program (http://knossos.eas.ualberta.ca/vitals/). VITALS is a recently funded scientific program exploring air-sea gas-exchange dynamics and deep convection in the Labrador Sea.
Applicants can come from different backgrounds, but should have a previous degree in a branch of engineering, mathematics or oceanography. Currently there is funding available for 2 MASc students. Well-qualified students interested in a PhD may also be considered. Applications for fall term admission (beginning September 1st) are due May 1st 2014, and for winter term admission (beginning January 1st) the deadline is September 1, 2014. Information about applying can be found at
http://uwaterloo.ca/systems-design-engineering/future-graduate-students/how-apply
For further information, applicants can contact
Andrea Scott (ka3scott@uwaterloo.ca) who is in the Department of Systems Design Engineering at the University of Waterloo.
The University of Waterloo is consistently ranked as the most innovative university in Canada. Waterloo is a safe and friendly city with a vibrant student culture, and easy access to a wide range of outdoor activities.

Post Doctoral position. Climate Forecaster at the Climate Forecasting
Unit (CFU).
LOCATION
IC3 Headquarters in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain
GENERAL DESCRIPTION AND WORK ENVIRONMENT
The Institut Catal? de Ci?ncies del Clima (IC3) is a climate research
institute created in 2008 by the Government of Catalonia and the
University of Barcelona, aiming at understanding climate variability and
change at both global and regional scales, improving both climate
predictions and projections, as well as the dynamics and theory
underlying those changes and the impact on society. Linked to these
goals, IC3 works on understanding and simulating how global change
modulates variability and changes in society and ecosystems to provide
better climate services.
IC3?s mandate is to become a leading international centre for climate
research in Europe, with a regional focus on the Mediterranean area. IC3
aims to perform quality research on basic and applied climate sciences,
while informing society and stakeholders on future climate risks.
Working languages are English, Catalan and Spanish.
In tune with IC3's objectives, a growing interest in the implications of
climate variability and change from a season to a few decades ahead is
taking place. Reliable climate information is critical to ensure that
adaptation measures to climate variability and change are efficient. The
Climate Forecasting Unit (CFU), led by the ICREA research professor F.J.
Doblas-Reyes, undertakes research on the development and assessment of
dynamical and statistical methods for the prediction of global and
regional climate on time scales ranging from one month to one decade.
More information about the CFU activities is available from the
following links: www.ic3.cat and http://ic3.cat/wikicfu/index.php/Main_Page
MAIN DUTIES
The successful applicant will work on performing and analyzing
seasonal-to-decadal ensemble climate predictions with the dynamical
global climate model used by the CFU, EC-Earth. The scientist is
expected to contribute to different tasks planned in the framework of
the SPECS project, such as evaluating the impact of aerosols in climate
predictions, investigating the sources of skill and the sources of
forecast errors with a particular emphasis on the North Pacific and/or
North Atlantic-European regions, and contributing to the development of
the common tools used for analysis by the CFU members.
The applicant will be involved in collaborative work with other partners
within the EC-Earth consortium. Outstanding opportunities exist for
establishing links with other international climate research
institutions and, if interested, participating in the tutoring and
monitoring of early-career scientists.
DESIRED SKILLS / QUALIFICATIONS
Applicants must have a PhD in climate sciences, applied mathematics or
in a related discipline. Ideal candidates will have several of the
following attributes:
- A demonstrated ability to develop experimental set ups that address
specific climate modelling problems and to manipulate climate model codes.
- Extended knowledge R, cdo, ncoo and bash, while experience with
python and dortran will be highly valued.
- Experience in handling large databases, and a minimum knowledge of
NetCDF encoding.
- Proven ability to prepare and submit manuscripts to high-impact,
peer-review journals.
- Interest and capacity in participating in the writing in and, when
possible, leading the preparation of research and computing proposals.
- Fluency in spoken and written English, while fluency in other
European languages will be also valued.
This position implies becoming part of dynamic, multi-national research
group that performs cutting-edge, highly-demanding climate prediction
experiments. The candidate should be able to work as an active and
collaborative team member to help in the delivery of shared objectives
and to efficiently communicate within and outside the research group.
Hence, the ability to work as part of a large, strongly-coordinated team
and to continuously share both knowledge and tools is an essential
requirement.
CONDITIONS AND APPLICATION PROCEDURES
The position is opened for 24 months with a possibility for extension
depending on performance and the availability of additional funding. The
position will start preferably in June 2014 or as soon as possible after
that date. The salary will be commensurate with experience.
To apply, please send and email to jobs@ic3.cat with your CV and the
following subject ?Climate Forecaster at the CFU?.

Collaborative Research Network PhD Scholarship<http://www.cdu.edu.au/the-northern-institute/collaborative-research-network-program> ? international applicants welcome
Exploring the development of a heat stress warning and management tool for Northern Australia<http://www.cdu.edu.au/sites/default/files/ori/CDU%20NCCTRC%20BoM%20JCU%20PhD%20CRN%20scholarship%20ad.pdf>
Project Summary
This interdisciplinary PhD project will develop a tool for the improved communication of heat stress risk and management of individual heat exposure. The project responds to a desire to improve the communication of heat stress risk, particularly during hot and humid weather which is prevalent in the Monsoonal North of Australia. In collaboration with the Bureau of Meteorology, the student will begin to develop a tool that is useful to end-users such as Emergency Services, labour-intensive industries, and the NT Government?s Department of Health.
The student will be encouraged to analyse ideal methods of delivery and timing of heat management information in the design of the tool, by building upon research examining how individual daily practices, and daily and seasonal information regarding heat, shape the management of heat exposure.
Specifically, the PhD project will explore the communication effectiveness of a variety of weather indices and associated heat stress warnings, such as the Thermal Comfort Index, Humidex, apparent temperature and Wet Bulb Globe Temperature values. The PhD project will build on this research to identify the best metric to use as the basis of the heat stress tool and situate it in relation to practices that mitigate the risk of heat stress (such as timing and availability of hydration, working hours, use of cooling strategies). The student is encouraged to engage with industry stakeholders and conduct trials to ensure that the product supported effective risk-management in order to improve productivity and safety.
The Australian Bureau of Meteorology
This PhD project is supported by the Bureau of Meteorology. The candidate will have the opportunity to collaborate with the Centre for Australian Weather and Climate Research.
