*Open-ended, senior position at British Antarctic Survey for physical
oceanographer*
Closing date: 31 May 2014
Further details and application:
http://www.antarctica.ac.uk/employment/vacancies/job.php?JobID=973
Informal inquiries about the position may be address to: Emily
Shuckburgh, Head of the Open Oceans group:(emily.shuckburgh@bas.ac.uk)
We are looking to appoint a Physical Oceanographer to a senior post
within the Open Oceans group at the British Antarctic Survey (BAS),
based in Cambridge, UK. We are open to applications from individuals
with a background in observational, numerical and/or theoretical aspects
of physical oceanography.
The focus of the Open Oceans group is on improving the understanding of
the circulation, mixing, dynamics and Earth System feedbacks in the
polar oceans, using a combination of theoretical, observational and
numerical analysis techniques, and assessing the implications for the
global climate. The group interacts closely with the Shelf Seas group at
BAS, which is focused on investigating ice and continental shelf
processes, and well as with other groups in BAS focused on study of the
atmosphere, cryosphere and ecosystems.
Ongoing research interests of the Open Oceans group include:
investigating mixing processes in the Southern Ocean and the Arctic
Ocean at the mesoscale and submesoscale and dynamical interactions
influencing the oceanic overturning circulation; assessing the
representation of the coupled Southern Hemisphere system and of key
Arctic teleconnections in climate models; monitoring and understanding
the production and export of bottom water from the Antarctic continent
into the Atlantic Ocean; monitoring the meridional overturning
circulation in the South Atlantic; mapping the pathways of carbon uptake
by the Southern Ocean; and understanding the physical controls on the
interdisciplinary marine environment in the Scotia Sea and at the
Antarctic peninsula.The tools used to conduct this research include
autonomous ocean gliders, research ships, mooring arrays, dynamical
analyses and advanced numerical modelling.
The postholder would be expected to lead a significant element of the
Open Oceans workpackage, supervising some more junior staff, and to
instigate new avenues of research. There would be opportunities to
participate in fieldwork in both polar regions. The post would suit
someone with postdoctoral experience looking to assume greater
responsibilities.

Post-doc position in Atmospheric & Analytical Chemistry at U Michigan, Ann
Arbor
A postdoctoral research position is available at the University of
Michigan in the research group of Prof. Kerri Pratt in the Department of
Chemistry and Department of Earth & Environmental Sciences. Our
research interests focus on the chemical interactions of atmospheric
trace gases, particles, clouds, and precipitation with the cryosphere
and biosphere to understand processes associated with air quality and
climate change.
The successful candidate will play a leadership role in several,
interdisciplinary research projects, primarily focused on atmospheric
chemistry in the Arctic and northern Michigan through field-based
measurements. In particular, the position will include assisting in the
construction of a single-particle mass spectrometer and use of a
chemical ionization mass spectrometer. While in the Pratt lab, the
successful candidate will also have opportunities to be exposed to ion
chromatography, additional mass spectrometry methods, one-dimensional
atmospheric modeling, and electron microscopy.
The successful candidate is expected to have a PhD in chemistry,
chemical engineering, atmospheric science, environmental science, or a
related area. The successful candidate should have prior experience
with mass spectrometry and/or instrument development and data analysis
programs (Igor and/or Matlab preferred). Familiarity with LabView and
experience conducting field measurements is preferred, as well as
interest in mentoring undergraduate and young graduate students. The
successful candidate will have the opportunity to collaborate with
several environmental chemistry groups across the University of Michigan
(e.g., Department of Environmental Health Sciences and Department of
Atmospheric, Oceanic, and Space Sciences). The position is expected to
be for two years; initial appointment will be for one year, with likely
renewal, pending demonstrated progress. Preferred start date is in
summer or early fall 2014.
To apply, please send a cover letter (describing your research
experience and interests, as well as anticipated date of availability),
CV, and names/contact information for 3 references to Prof. Kerri Pratt,
email: prattka at umich.edu.

Fully funded PhD studentship at the University of Edinburgh and Public Health England
AIR POLLUTION CONTROL MEASURES AND CLIMATE CHANGE EFFECTS ON MULTIPLE POLLUTANTS AND THEIR HEALTH BURDENS
Applications are invited for a PhD studentship to work on a collaborative research project on Air pollution control measures and potential climate change effects on multiple pollutant health burdens across the UK. This is a joint project between the University of Edinburgh and Public Health England (PHE). The PhD position is fully funded for three years (restricted to UK/EU students).
Air pollution is the environmental factor with the greatest impact on public health in Europe. The main pollutants of concern are ozone, nitrogen dioxide and particles. Exposure to these pollutants can lead to premature mortality and to hospital admissions for respiratory or cardiovascular ill-health. Understanding these air pollutants is complex because they are largely produced by chemical reactions within the atmosphere, there are multiple sources of emissions that contribute to their concentrations, and most processes are influenced by meteorological and climatic conditions. Policy action to limit one pollutant can sometimes lead to increases in another. This project will use an advanced atmospheric chemistry transport model to estimate the changes in UK health burden from exposures to the mixtures of air pollutants that may arise for a range of future pollutant emission scenarios and the sensitivity of these exposures to climatic variables. For further details see: http://www.geos.ed.ac.uk/postgraduate/PhD/getDocument?SerialNo=932
A good undergraduate degree in physics, meteorology, chemistry, mathematics, environmental sciences (which include some climate/atmospheric science), or a related discipline is required. An MSc or equivalent experience is desirable but not required. Good written and oral communication skills and some programming and/or modelling experience would be an advantage. The student will be trained in climate and air quality modelling and environmental and public health impact assessment.
The University of Edinburgh is one of the largest research-led universities in the UK. In the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise the School of GeoSciences was ranked 1st in the UK in Earth Systems and Environmental Science. Public Health England https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/public-health-england is an executive agency of the Department of Health, established formally in April 2013. PHE operates a nationwide, integrated public health service, working with and alongside others to protect and improve the public's health and wellbeing and reduce inequalities.
The student will be registered in the School of GeoSciences at the University of Edinburgh. They will also spend some time at the PHE Centre for Radiation, Chemical and Environmental Hazards at Chilton, near Didcot (Oxfordshire), where they will be part of the Air Pollution and Climate Change Group.
The studentship is expected to start in September 2014. Informal enquiries prior to making an application may be addressed to Dr Clare Heaviside (clare.heaviside@phe.gov.uk<mailto:clare.heaviside@phe.gov.uk>), or Dr Ruth Doherty (ruth.doherty@ed.ac.uk<mailto:ruth.doherty@ed.ac.uk>). To make an application, please send a covering letter stating your interest in this PhD. Please also include a CV, an academic transcript, and the names and email addresses of two academic referees to clare.heaviside@phe.gov.uk<mailto:clare.heaviside@phe.gov.uk>
Closing Date: 16th May 2014, interviews will be held soon after.
Funding Notes:
Open to UK and EU citizens ordinarily resident in the EU.
