?GBE Fund is a growing Energy Trading firm located in Calgary, Alberta,
Canada. We're looking to add a Meteorologist within the next month. This
is an exciting opportunity for someone looking to enter the industry and
make a name.
The ideal candidate comes has a background in Atmospheric Science and 1-3
years of professional experience in a discipline outside of Trading. We?re
asking you to bring the Science and we'll teach you our markets. We?ll
work with you to transition your Science into the domain of Energy Trading.
Once hired you?ll be asked to develop internal load and weather forecast
models for our traders in Eastern markets.
This is a lucrative position in a growing organization.
*Qualifications held at a minimum*
- MSc, BSc or PHD in Meteorology
- 1-3 years professional experience as a Meteorologist
*Technical Requirements*
- Advanced Excel skills
- Good knowledge of statistics and their application on weather
forecasting
- Programming and modelling skills are desirable but not essential
- Previous use of MATLAB would be beneficial
- Comfortable working with large datasets, familiarity with SQL would be
beneficial
*Personal Requirements*
- Excellent communication skills
- Excellent analysis skills
- Ability to work under pressure in a fast paced environment
We will conduct interviews via Phone or Skype and then fly the top
candidates to Calgary for interviews in our Offices.

NERSC now has multiple openings for postdoctoral fellows. The fellows
will work at NERSC with DOE application scientists to prepare codes for the
30-petaflop/s Intel KNL-based Cori machine. This represents a unique
opportunity for early career scientists to conduct high-impact breakthrough
computational science research on a key future generation system. Fellows
will port, analyze, tune, and run their applications on hardware
simulators, early access systems, and the Cori system itself when it first
arrives in 2015.
The job advertisement, list of available projects, and application
procedure is on
https://lbl.taleo.net/careersection/2/jobdetail.ftl?lang=en&job=80066
Please note that two of the projects are related to global climate
modeling; another involves a state-of-the-art ocean modeling code.
Berkeley Lab postoc positions are limited to individuals no more than five
years past their Ph.D.
We at NERSC believe that success of the Cori system is important for the
HPC community as a whole. We thank you in advance for your help in
recommending top candidates.
Sincerely,
Harvey Wasserman

Subject: [Met-jobs] Post-Doc position - Sonar measurement of seafloor
backscatter

Ifremer (French Research Institute in Oceanography) offers a post-doc
position in Brest, France (12 or 18 months starting Nov 2014) for a work
on backscatter measurements by multibeam echosounders: field calibration
methods, definition of reference seafloor areas, data processing. See
below a summary of the project.
Seafloor characterisation by multibeam echosounders using the angular
dependence of calibrated backscatter measurement
Measurement of acoustic backscatter from the seafloor by multibeam
echosounders raises a growing interest in several users? communities
(coastal environment monitoring, habitat mapping, hydrography?). The
practical applications imply to have available data calibrated in
intensity, making possible either the comparison of measured data to
physical models, or the inter-comparison between data from different
systems. The goals of this post-doc work are multiple: (1)
inter-calibrate multibeam echosounders with reference to calibrated
systems, using data sets obtained on the same sediment spots and in two
different system configurations (multibeam/ multibeam and
multibeam/single-beam); (2) participate in the definition of seafloor
reference areas relatively to backscatter measurement (3) derive and
apply the data processing method for retrieving the absolute
backscatter strength from the tridimensional geometry of the seafloor
topography and the echosounder characteristics; (4) define, implement
and apply the extraction of a robust parameter set relevant for modeling
the backscatter angular response and building a library of
characteristic values linked to groundtruthing results. The candidate
will integrate into the Underwater Acoustics team, depending of the
IFREMER Ships & Equipment Department. The works will be conducted using
field data already available, or to be logged along dedicated survey
cruises; they will rely on previous experience gained by the team along
the years. The position is co-funded by the French Navy Hydrographic
Service.
Keywords : seafloor-mapping sonar; multibeam echosounder; backscatter;
calibration; seafloor characterization
Candidate profile :
PhD (obtained less than 3 years ago) in underwater acoustics, remote
sensing, telecommunications, geophysics. Master of Science degree in
physics, signal processing, telecommunications, geophysics.
