The Institute for Geophysics and Meteorology, University of Cologne
(IGMK), Germany,
invites application for several Research Assistant positions with the
opportunity for graduation
*(1) Identification of patterns in long-term observations of the cloudy
boundary layer**
**(2) The impact of regional-surface heterogeneity on boundary-layer
cloud fields*
The topics are closely related to the Juelich ObservatorY for Cloud
Evolution (JOYCE) where various ground-based remote sensors are operated
and combined with model simulations. The positions are related to the
Energy Transition and Climate Change (ET-CC) initiative within the
University of Cologne, which was re-cently awarded to IGMK, and in which
meteorology is linked to renewable energy economics, and the Hans-Ertel
Centre for Weather Research (HErZ)- Retrospective Analysis of Regional
Climate.
The positions (75% TV???L E13) are awarded for at least 3 years. We
offer a productive and interdisciplinary working atmosphere including
comprehensive supervision and integration into the Graduate School of
Geosci-ences (GSGS; http://www.geosciences.uni-koeln.de/). Details on
the individual projects are given below.
*Requirements *
We expect strong interest in atmospheric science with specialization in
cloud modeling and observations, re-mote sensing, or statistical
modeling, depending on the topic. Applicants should have a
Master-of-Science-equivalent university degree in meteorology,
geophysics, physics or mathematics. Experience in scientific
pro-gramming, preferably in a UNIX/LINUX environment, and knowledge in
computational modelling is highly desir-able.
*Applications *
Interested candidates should send a CV; a cover letter describing
background, training and research interests; certificates; and other
usual documents as a single PDF to gsgs-jobs@uni-??koeln.de. Please
clearly indicate which position(s) you apply for. Review of applications
will begin immediately and continue until the positions have been
filled, *December 30 latest.*
The University of Cologne is an equal opportunity employer in compliance
with the German disability laws. Women and persons with disabilities
with equal capability, suitability and professional experience are
favored and strongly encouraged to apply.
*Selection *
The selection for the positions will be based solely on merit without
regard to gender, religion, national origin, political affiliation,
marital or family status or other differences. Among equally qualified
candidates, handi-capped candidates will be given preference.
Detailed project descriptions
(1) *Identification of patterns in long-term observations of the cloudy
boundary layer**
*Since 2010 continuous measurements by various remote sensing
instruments (microwave radiometer, cloud radar, ceilometer, wind lidar,
infrared spectrometer etc.) are performed at the J??lich ObservatorY for
Cloud Evolution (JOYCE,
http://www.geomet.uni-koeln.de/en/general/research/joyce/) as part of
Collaborative Research Center TR32 (http://www.tr32.de/). The resulting
data, including routine scanning by radar/ceilometer, will serve as a
basis for analysing the spatio-temporal characteristics of cloud
appearance and boundary layer-development. In cooperation with
collaboration partners from TR32, the successful candidate will
investigate how identified patterns can be linked to land surface
characteristics. Special focus will be on the role of vegetation, and
the candidate will support the research group Ecosystem Dynamics
(http://www.fz-juelich.de/ibg/ibg-2/DE/Organisation/EcosystemDynamics/Ecosystem_node.html)
at the Research Center J??lich to model surface fluxes and their
spatio-temporal distribution using cloud observations and radiative
transfer modelling. For more information contact Prof. Dr. S. Crewell
(crewell(at)meteo.uni-koeln.de).
(2) *The impact of regional-scale surface heteorogeneity on
boundary-layer cloud fields**
*Regional fields of state variables such as temperature, humidity and
momentum in the lowest few kilometers of the atmosphere are typically
highly heterogeneous in space, and show strong fluctuations in time.
This variability is associated with the turbulent processes in the
daytime Convective Boundary Layer (CBL). How exactly surface
heterogeneity contributes to variability in the CBL, and the associated
cumulus cloud fields, is not fully understood yet. The successful
candidate will address this question by means of high-resolution,
cumulus cloud resolving simulations on regional domains. The purpose is
to disentangle and quantify the various contributions to boundary-layer
cloud variability by internal boundary-layer processes on the one hand,
and terrain and surface heterogeneity on the other. Model results will
be compared to in-situ measurements at the JOYCE site
(http://www.geomet.uni-koeln.de/en/general/research/joyce/) and
remote-sensing satellite measurements in terms of cloud population
statistics. New insights will be represented in scale-adaptive
parametrizations of cloudy boundary-layers for use in future
high-resolution weather prediction models. For more information contact
Prof. Dr. Roel A.J. Neggers (neggers(at)meteo.uni-koeln.de).

Fully funded PhD Studentship: Modelling Arctic atmospheric chemistry
This project will use the established regional 3D model WRF-Chem
in its polar configuration. Based on other work a simplified snow
photochemistry module will be implemented in WRF-Chem. This new
configuration will be used to investigate polar atmospheric chemistry,
especially halogen chemistry, and the relevance of snow and sea ice
processes for it. The model results will be compared to field data
from intensive field campaigns, buoys and satellite data.
This position is part of a 5-year research project funded by the
European Research Council (ERC) with the overriding aim to improve our
understanding of the links between the Arctic atmosphere, sea ice and
snow. This project will be conducted in the Centre for Ocean and
Atmospheric Sciences (COAS) at the School of Environmental Sciences,
University of East Anglia, Norwich, UK.
The successful candidate will have a degree in natural sciences or a
related field and ideally experience with numerical modelling
including 3D modelling.
3.5 years of funding (stipend and fees) for UK/EU applicants;
Application deadline 25 Jan 2015, Start: 01 April 2015. Further
details and application form: http://tinyurl.com/p3avqgn

Second announcement
14th International Swiss Climate Summer School 2015 ?EXTREME EVENTS AND CLIMATE"
23 August ? 28 August 2015, Ascona, Switzerland.
The Swiss Climate Research, the network of leading Swiss institutions in climate research and education, invites young scientists to join high-profile climate researchers on the occasion of the 14th International Swiss Climate Summer School 2015, which topic is ?Extreme Events and Climate?.
Weather and climate extreme events can result in large disasters. A changing climate can lead to changes in the frequency, intensity, spatial extent, duration, and timing of these events. Understanding the processes underlying the formation of extreme events and improving the predictability of extreme events is a major scientific challenge and of crucial importance for the society. The Summer School will address the following topics:
? Mechanisms and processes responsible for the occurrence of extreme events
? Observational evidence for changes in extreme events
? Uncertainties in seasonal to interannual predictions and long-term projections of extreme events
? Technical, economical, and societal challenges related to extreme events
The courses cover a broad spectrum of climate and climate impact research issues and foster cross-disciplinary links. Each topic includes keynote plenary lectures and workshops with in-depth discussions in smaller groups. All Summer School participants are expected to present a poster of their research and there will be ample opportunity for discussion. The Summer School is open to young researchers (PhD students and Post-Docs) worldwide from all fields of climate research. Participation is highly competitive and will be limited to a maximum of 70.
Further information about the Summer School and the application procedure can be found in the attached flyer or visit the website: <http://www.c2sm.ethz.ch/education/summerschool2015>
Application deadline: 31 December 2014.
