*Post Doctoral and Computer Scientists Positions - ERC Synergy Grant:
IMBALANCE-P*
A collaborative research team led by Josep Pe?uelas (CREAF), Ivan
Janssens (UA, Belgium), Philippe Ciais (LSCE, France), and Michael
Obersteiner (IIASA, Austria) in a vibrant research environment is
offering*postdoctoral and computer scientist positions*to study the
effects of phosphorous limitations on Life, Earth system and Society
(ERC Synergy grant: IMBALANCE-P).
*The aim of IMBALANCE-P*is to quantify and understand the responses of
Life, Society and the Earth System to current and future P shortages and
the N to P stoichiometric imbalance created by widespread N additions
and rising atmospheric CO_2 , and to identify the options available to
improve the management of the P cycle. The P-dependent implications for
Life, Society, and the Earth System are tightly interconnected, but have
so far mostly been considered in fragmented single-discipline research.
IMBALANCE-P will achieve a global closure of the P cycle, and generate a
novel integrated knowledge of the impacts of the C:N:P imbalances on
natural ecosystems' diversity and function, climate, agriculture, and
society.
*At LSCE *we are looking for *three highly motivated and collaborative
post-docs*and *two computer scientists*in the following areas:
*Postdoc -- Modeling of carbon-climate interactions in the Earth System,
including nitrogen and phosphorus limitations and feedbacks. The Earth
System used is IPSL-CM including a version of the land surface ORCHIDEE
model being developed for carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus interactions.
*/Collaborations: P. Cadule, Laurent Li, O. Boucher, Y. Balkanski, S.L.
Piao, P. Friedlingstein, D. Hauglustaine, D Goll, B. Guenet, P. Peylin
and P. Ciais/
*Postdoc -- Modeling the stoichiometry of carbon, nitrogen and
phosphorus in terrestrial ecosystems and its response to changing
climate and CO2 conditions, using the ORCHIDEE land surface model.
Special focus will be given to the incorporation of microbial and fungi
decomposition processes, and the competition between soil decomposers
and plants for nutrition. */Collaborations: B. Guenet, D Goll, S. Peng,
J. Penuelas, I Janssens, N. Vuichard, N Viovy, S.L. Piao and P. Ciais/
*Postdoc -- Modeling the stoichiometry of carbon, nitrogen and
phosphorus in marine ecosystems and its response to changing climate and
CO2 conditions, using the PISCES marine biogeochemical model. Special
focus will be given given to the implementation of a ocean quota model
in the NEMO-PISCES ocean general circulation model and to the
realization of climate change projections using the IPSL-Earth System
Model. */Collaborations: L. Bopp, O. Aumont, M. Gehlen, C. Ethe, P.
Ciais. /
*Computer scientist -- Earth system model software / code developments
in the IPSL-CM Earth system model. Fast chemistry module and coupling
between different models to close the nitrogen, carbon and phosphorus
cycle simulation. */Collaborations: P. Cadule, O. Boucher, Laurent Li,
F. Maignan, P. Ciais/
*Computer scientist -- Land ecosystem model (ORCHIDEE) software / code
developments and integration. New forcing input data, acceleration of
simulations, merge of different versions developed in the project.

Deadline: January 31st for international applicants, April 30th for domestic applicants (Australian citizens and permanent residents; New Zealand citizens).
Three PhD scholarships are available in the Climate Change Research Centre at the University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia. <http://www.ccrc.unsw.edu.au/>
1. Dynamics, variability and change in the Southern Ocean: Changes in the Southern Ocean are linked with dramatic climate events, yet the associated dynamics are poorly understood. This project will determine the fundamental dynamic processes driving Southern Ocean flows, and diagnose impacts of recent and projected climate change. For more information contact Dr Paul Spence <paul.spence@unsw.edu.au<mailto:paul.spence@unsw.edu.au>> <http://web.science.unsw.edu.au/~paulspence/>.
2. Predictability of Climate Extremes: Extreme temperature and precipitation events - such as heat waves, droughts and heavy rain - undergo substantial seasonal to decadal variability, but little is known about their predictability. This project will examine variability and predictability of these climatic extremes and associated mechanisms by incorporating decadal hindcast climate model simulations and observational datasets. For more information on this project please contact Dr Markus Donat <m.donat@unsw.edu.au<mailto:m.donat@unsw.edu.au>> <http://web.science.unsw.edu.au/~markusdonat/>.
3. Climate/carbon cycle interactions: During the last glacial/interglacial, there were several episodes of abrupt climate change. As part of this project numerical simulations with Earth System Models will be performed to better understand millennial to centennial changes in climate and their impact on the global carbon cycle. For additional information about this project, please contact Dr. Laurie Menviel <l.menviel@unsw.edu.au<mailto:l.menviel@unsw.edu.au>> <http://myweb.science.unsw.edu.au/~lauriemenviel/>.
Students will become part of the Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for Climate System Science- an international research consortium of five Australian universities (The University of New South Wales, Monash University, The University of Melbourne, The University of Tasmania and The Australian National University) and a suite of outstanding national and international Partner Organizations. The Centre provides opportunities for travel and graduate student development. <http://www.climatescience.org.au<http://www.climatescience.org.au/>>.
The scholarships are funded at the rate of the Australian Postgraduate Award (currently $25849 per annum). Applicants must have a strong academic track record including an Honours Class I or equivalent. Graduates with a background in physics, mathematics, atmospheric science, oceanography or engineering are particularly encouraged to apply.
Applicants must first send an expression of interest to arccss.grad@unsw.edu.au<mailto:arccss.grad@unsw.edu.au> containing:
1. CV
2. Academic transcripts
3. Copies of any publications
4. A short statement of research interest clearly stating which project you are interested in.
If your expression of interest is accepted you will then be encouraged to complete the official university application process.
