Dear Colleagues,
We seek to appoint an Ocean/Ice Modeller at the British Antarctic Survey.
The postholder will be responsible for developing a new coupled model of the interaction between oceans and ice sheets, based on existing models within the MITgcm. The ultimate aim of the project is to investigate the involvement of coupled feedbacks in ice loss from the Antarctic Ice Sheet. The project is a collaborative venture between BAS, the University of Edinburgh, Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the Alfred Wegener Institute.
Full details are at:
<http://www.antarctica.ac.uk/employment/vacancies/job.php?JobID=1008>
The closing date for applications is 19th October 2014, though I'm very happy to answer informal enquiries about the post before then.
Cheers,
Paul

Associate Research Fellow/Research Fellow in Mechanisms of Climate Variability
College of Engineering, Mathematics and Physical Sciences
Exeter Climate Systems Research Centre
The College wishes to recruit four Associate Research Fellows/Research Fellows to support the work of the Exeter Climate Systems Research Centre. These NERC-funded posts are available immediately for between 42 to 48 months.
The EuroClim project aims to advance our fundamental dynamical understanding of three key mechanisms that influence seasonal weather, especially over Europe: North Atlantic upper-ocean heat content, Arctic sea-ice, and the stratosphere. The project will use a mixture of theory, state-of-the-art coupled climate model experiments, idealised dynamical frameworks and advanced statistical techniques. There will be scope for creative independent research across all aspects of the project. The Met Office is a Project Partner, and the ultimate goal is improved seasonal forecasts over Europe. Successful candidates will be part of a team working at the University of Exeter, in collaboration with the Met Office Monthly to Decadal Prediction group.
We seek to appoint four outstanding researchers to contribute to the project across the areas of theory, reduced complexity models, climate models, stratosphere-troposphere coupling, cryospheric effects on climate, ocean-climate interactions, and statistical modelling. The successful applicants will be able to present information on research progress and outcomes, communicate complex information, orally, in writing and electronically and prepare proposals and applications to external bodies.
Applicants will possess a relevant PhD (Mathematics, Statistics, Meteorology, Physics or a related discipline) and be able to demonstrate sufficient knowledge in the disciplineand of research methods and techniques to work within established research programmes. At Research Fellow level, the successful applicant will be a nationally recognised authority in one of these areas and be able to develop research programmes and methodologies. The successful applicant will also be able to work collaboratively, supervise the work of others and act as team leader as required.
Excellent cross-disciplinary communication skills are essential. Experience innumerical/statistical simulations or in computational science related to climate science (e.g., managing large data sets) are desirable. Candidates will have demonstrated the ability to carry out creative, innovative, independent research, and the ability to publish in peer-reviewed journals.

community built around higher education, with vibrant cultural
opportunities and a long history of international connections,
leadership, and accomplishment. Iowa City offers the safe, friendly
quality of life for which the Midwest is known.
*Qualifications*
Ph.D. in a relevant science or engineering field prior to starting this
position is required. Candidates from subsets of fields including
hydrology, atmospheric sciences, or climate sciences are particularly
encouraged to apply.
Experience in downloading and analyzing large data sets and model output
is required. Individuals with expertise in applied statistics are
encouraged to apply.
