From: Celine Mari <celine.mari@aero.obs-mip.fr>
Subject: [Met-jobs] Post-doc position in atmospheric physics
To: met-jobs@lists.reading.ac.uk.
Message-ID: <54870301.1070706@aero.obs-mip.fr>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=windows-1252; format=flowed
The Laboratoire d'A?rologie (LA, Toulouse, France) offers a 18 month
postdoctoral position in the field of atmospheric physics at the
interface with physical volcanology, in close collaboration with the
Institut de Physique du Globe de Paris (IPGP) .
The position is funded through the French ANR project ?STRAP?
(Trans-disciplinary collaboration to investigate volcano plumes risks),
that aims to develop a pre-operational forecasting system of volcanic
plumes.
The main objective of the post-doc is to adapt the Meso-NH mesoscale
model to volcanic plumes using a new parametrization of turbulent
entrainment based on a coupled approach combining laboratory experiments
and numerical 1D and LES simulations. The results will be applied to the
observed raising heights of target eruptions (Piton de la Fournaise
and/or Etna), and to the interpretation of surface and satellite
measurements to constrain the model outputs.
Qualifications:
The candidate should have a PhD in atmospheric sciences or physical
volcanology or geophysical fluid dyamics, with strong programming skills.
The ideal candidate will possess an understanding of microscale and/or
mesoscale meteorology and the ability to program in Fortran.
Additional skills in LES atmospheric modeling and turbulence are
considered as a plus. The applicant must speak and write English
fluently and have good communication skills and publication records.
Salary and benefits:
The targeted start date for the position is approximately June 2015. The
appointment is for 100% time. The post-doctorate will be recruited for
18 months with a net monthly salary comprised between 2000? and 2300?,
commensurate with experience. This includes social services and health
insurance.
To Apply:
Applications should be submitted by email to Celine Mari
(celine.mari@aero.obs-mip.fr) and Edouard Kaminski (kaminski@ipgp.fr).
Application material must include a CV, a statement of research
interests, a list of publications and the contact details for at least
two referees. The deadline for applications is 30 June 2015 but
applications will continue to be received until a suitable candidate is
found. All letters will be treated as confidential.

Post Doc
A fixed term (24 month) appointment for a scientist to work on the URBANFLUXES
(URBan Anthropogenic heat FLUX from Earth observation Satellites) and other closely
related projects. This project is funded by the European Union Horizon 2020. The main
goal of the project is to investigate the potential of Earth Observation (EO) to retrieve
anthropogenic heat fluxes at local and city scales. The project will involve determination of
each of the urban energy balance fluxes using a number of different techniques. The project
involves an international consortium that will work closely together to fulfil the research
objectives. The post will be based in the Department of Meteorology, University of
Reading, UK.

The Max Planck Institute for Meteorology (MPI-M) is a multidisciplinary centre for climate research located in Hamburg, Germany. It has an internationally recognized reputation in climate modeling. Within the EU-FP7 project BACCHUS (Impact of Biogenic versus Anthropogenic emissions on Clouds and Climate: towards a Holistic UnderStanding) we are looking for a
Postdoctoral Scientist (m/f, SAS2015-01)
with a strong background and interest in the effect of atmospheric composition on radiative forcing, particularly with respect to climate changes between 1850 and the present. The successful applicant will work with a small team of scientists to better understand the role of aerosol (including that associated with volcanism) forcing on the historical climate record through the use and development of a hierarchy of models. The position offers considerably flexibility and opportunity for scientific visibility and growth, for instance through participation in and possible leadership of components of in the Radiative Forcing model inter-comparision project (RFMIP). RFMIP is planned as one of the building blocks for CMIP6. The initial focus of the work will be to quantify how the amplitude and pattern of aerosol induced changes in cloud radiative properties affect aerosol forcing in light of emerging theoretical frameworks that have been developed at the MPI.
A PhD in atmospheric sciences, physics, applied mathematics or computational science is required for this position. Previous working experience with atmospheric radiative transfer issues and in investigations of climate impacts are of advantage. The applicant should have expertise in scientific computing, including programming (familiarity to FORTRAN programming, to UNIX computing environments and to shell scripting), data analysis (statistical understanding) and data manipulation and presentation skills (nco tools, cdo tools, ncl plotting).
The MPI-M is located in the city of Hamburg, Germany. The institute provides a highly international and interdisciplinary environment for conducting scientific research as well as access to state-of-the-art scientific facilities. For further information, please contact Stefan Kinne (stefan.kinne@mpimet.mpg.de<mailto:stefan.kinne@mpimet.mpg.de>) or Bjorn Stevens bjorn.stevens@mpimet.mpg.de<mailto:bjorn.stevens@mpimet.mpg.de>). Applications should be forwarded to the address indicated below.
The position is offered for three years starting immediately. Payment will be in accordance with German public service positions (TVoeD E14), including extensive social security plans. The conditions of employment, including upgrades and duration, follow the rules of the Max Planck Society for the Advancement of Sciences and those of the German civil service. The Max Planck Institute for Meteorology seeks to increase the number of female scientist and encourages them to apply. Handicapped persons with comparable qualifications receive preferential status.
The selection process will start on 19 January 2015 and will continue until the positions are filled. Please submit a letter of interest, curriculum vitae, and the names, ad-dresses, and telephone numbers of two references via E-Mail: jobs@vw.mpimet.mpg.de as a single pdf-attachment with max. 5 MB only.
