PhD position, earliest start September 2014 (realistically January 2015).
Project: Lake dynamics on Alaskan North Slope
Funding: National Science Foundation.
Shallow lakes and ponds may cover up to 40% of the land surface in Arctic lowland regions. This project examines the extent and dynamics of bedfast and floating ice lakes in relation to hypothesized interactions and feedback with permafrost and climate. A combination of remote sensing, field monitoring and geophysical measurements, experiments and physical models will be used to isolate processes, quantify interactions and project changes. Project findings will be relevant locally for native village subsistence and for water supply to the petroleum industry, and globally for scientists studying permafrost thaw and Arctic climate change.
The candidate will also be involved in two other currently ongoing projects on the North Slope ? ?Fish CAFE: Response of an Arctic Freshwater Ecosystem to Climate and Land-use Change in the Fish Creek Watershed, Beaufort Coastal Plain of Alaska? (http://ine.uaf.edu/werc/projects/arp-fishcreek/fishcafe.html) and ?CALON: Towards a Circum-Arctic Lakes Observation Network? (http://www.arcticlakes.org)
The candidate will be working on simulating weather and climate conditions on Alaskan North Slope using a limited area model WRF (=Weather Research and Forecasting) in order to diagnose historical changes in hydrology of the North Slope and to develop future projections of lake dynamics for the area.
The ideal candidate is a curious and driven person with strong communication and interpersonal skills. The candidate should be motivated to work in a multi-disciplinary environment, with field personnel, modelers, and remote sensors. The candidate should have a Masters level degree in a relevant area, e.g., Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics, Geography, Engineering, or Earth Sciences. Programming skills and experience with large atmospheric models, in particular WRF, are important assets. The candidate must also have a very good standard of written and spoken English and experience in scientific writing.
The successful candidate will need to apply to the PhD program of the Department of Atmospheric Sciences in the College of Natural Science and Mathematics of the University of Alaska Fairbanks
(http://ffden-2.phys.uaf.edu/atm/atm/index.html.html).
Application details are listed here:
http://ffden-2.phys.uaf.edu/atm/atm/Academics/admission.html . Please make a reference to this project in your application.
Details, especially e.g. visa for foreign students, need to be worked out case-by-case;
Selection process
Reviews of applications will commence on July 15, 2014. You will be notified you by August 1, 2014 whether we will interview by Skype. We intend to fill this position earliest possible (by September 2014). Position will remain open until a suitable candidate is found.
If you require further information, contact Vladimir Alexeev (valexeev@iarc.uaf.edu).

Vacancy for a Scientific Programmer in ecosystem modelling at Lund
University, Sweden
The current vacancy is within the LPJ-GUESS modelling group in Lund
focussing on the development and application of numerical models for the
simulation of the large-scale patterns and dynamics of vegetation,
ecosystems and climate, for example at European or global scale. Models
are developed and run both on Windows and Linux platforms. The main
development language is C++, while FORTRAN, C and MATLAB as well as
scripting languages such as bash and Python are also used. The research
group maintains its own Linux cluster but also uses other HPC
facilities, such as those offered by LUNARC (www.lunarc.lu.se)
The programmer will assist researchers in the development and quality
control of numerical models and other related software infrastructure as
well as in the transfer, post-processing and archiving of data, such as
climate data, as well as output data from model runs. The position
includes responsibility for the maintenance and further development of
the svn-based version-control system used to archive, document and
distribute different versions of the model. The employee will also act
as the primary contact point for external scientific users of the
models, and will mediate communication with HCP centres regarding
technical issues. A further task concerns the administration and
maintenance of the group's own Linux cluster.
Requirements for the position include a suitable university degree,
advanced general knowledge of computing and IT, and specific knowledge
of C++ and/or other similar programming languages as well as the Linux
operating system. Good communication skills in English are required.
Work experience in software development or system administration, prior
experience in the use of HPC systems, as well as knowledge within
environment-related science fields are an advantage. The successful
candidate will be a service-minded, focused and well-organised expert
with an equal ability to work independently or as part of a team.

apply, can be found at

The NODC satellite oceanography team will be hiring a new postdoc this summer. We have a year of funding in hand and a very strong probability of a second year, with a decent outlook for keeping the right person on beyond that. The position would be held through the NOAA cooperative institute at U MD (CICS-MD).
This position is going to be 80% operational, with 20% applied research and the possibility of participating in at least one group publication per year. The base salary is $60-$65k, depending on experience and qualifications.
Below is the position description. If you know anyone who is looking for such a position, please pass this along. Feel free to post it to any relevant mailing lists - I have not done so, simply because it crosses so many science team/observational system boundaries I really was not sure which to pick. I anticipate we'll start interviewing in a week or two.
