A postdoctoral fellow is sought to participate in a collaborative
Investigation of Decadal Climate Predictability and Hydroclimate Impacts
(IDCPI) on the Western US
The University of Southern California (USC) climate change group invites
application for a post-doctoral appointment in isotope climatology and
climate system modeling. The successful candidate will collaborate with
a team of post-doctoral scientists at the University of Hawaii,
University of Colorado and the University of Southern California:
? to investigate North American hydroclimate variability as expressed
isotopically in precipitation (in modern atmospheric vapor and
precipitation and in isotope proxies),
? to investigate processes that influence isotopic variability in
atmosphere and land moisture on different time scales,
? to study how the hydrology in the western US responds to large-scale
sea surface temperature-induced atmospheric variations using climate
models and observations.
Applicants must have a Ph.D. in climate dynamics and and have experience
using climate models. Knowledge of stable isotope geochemistry as
applied to climate problems would be a strong asset. This person will
utilize the isotope-enabled ISOGSM climate model located at the high
performance computing center at the University of Southern California.
Applicants are asked to submit vitae, a statement of research experience
and interests and the names and contact information of 3 academic
references to Dr. Lowell Stott Department of Earth Sciences University
of Southern California, Science Hall, Room 235 Los Angeles, CA
90089-0740. For further information about the positions please contact
Dr. Lowell Stott at <stott@earth.usc.edu>

Freelance Editor (part-time, home-based) ? Atmospheric
Science/Climatology/Meteorology
The role:
To edit the English and grammar of academic journal articles written by ESL
(English as a second language) authors. Most manuscripts have yet to be
submitted to a journal, or require editing following the first round of peer
review. Manuscripts would be sent to you by email as MS Word documents and,
on average, would need to be edited (using track changes) within 2?3 days.
We are looking for either one editor who has the capacity and flexibility to
edit around 5?7 manuscripts per week, or a small pool of editors who can
each take on 1?2 manuscripts per week.
The person:
The role would suit someone with a relevant science background, excellent
English, proficiency in MS Word, and a keen eye for detail. Knowledge of
academic journals publishing (especially the peer review process) is
essential, and experience in writing scientific papers and editing those of
others is highly desirable. Your knowledge/experience may have been gained
either through postgraduate research, or through working in the academic
publishing industry. You should be comfortable working on your own, and
possess your own office space/equipment. You could be an early-career
researcher/PhD student looking to supplement your income, a scientist
looking to move into editorial work, or perhaps a former academic now
looking for the flexibility to work from home.
Remuneration:
Starting rate of ?13.50 per 1000 words, reviewed 6-monthly. Once settled in
the role, you can expect to edit around 1500 words per hour on average,
which equates to an annual salary of around 38K, pro rata. As a freelance
position, you would need to invoice us at the end of each month and take
responsibility for your own tax return. Invoices are paid promptly, usually
in the first week of the following month.
Applications:
Please send your CV and a covering letter to Colin Smith, Chief
Editor/Managing Director, LucidPapers, colin.smith@lucidpapers.com.
Interviews will be relatively informal, conducted via Skype, and candidates
will be expected to edit a manuscript as an unpaid test. There is no formal
closing date for applications; we are seeking to fill the position(s) as
soon as possible.

EPSRC funded PhD in Mathematics: Climate Change - Causes and global impacts of increasing Antarctic sea ice
About the award
Location: Streatham Campus, University of Exeter, EX4 4QJ
Primary supervisor: Dr James Screen<http://emps.exeter.ac.uk/mathematics/staff/js546>
Secondary supervisors: Professor Ian Simmonds (University of Melbourne), Dr Tom Bracegirdle (British Antarctic Survey)
Paradoxically, whilst the globe has warmed and Arctic sea ice has dramatically declined, Antarctic sea ice cover displays a modest, but statistically significant, net increase over past decades. This observed increase was neither expected nor predicted. Whilst many possible causes have been proposed ? including the Antarctic ozone hole, increased glacial melt leading to fresher surface waters, changing wind patterns, multi-decadal natural oceanic variability - their relative roles remain poorly quantified. State-of-the-art climate models run with observed changes in the concentrations of greenhouse gases, aerosols, ozone, and solar and volcanic forcing predicted that Antarctic sea ice cover would retreat. This begs the question: why were the models apparently wrong? The same models robustly project large Antarctic sea ice losses in the future, but should we believe these models if they cannot reproduce past trends? If Antarctic sea ice continues to increase in the future, how might this effect the wider Southern Hemisphere climate? This fully funded 3.5-year project will address these and related questions using a combination of statistical and analytical approaches, and numerical modelling.
The successful candidate will work under the primary supervision of Dr James Screen, a leading international expert in polar climate variability and change, within the Exeter Climate Systems group of the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science. The project is in collaboration with Professor Ian Simmonds at the University of Melbourne and Dr Tom Bracegirdle at the British Antarctic Survey.
External funding is likely to be available for the candidate to spend time in Melbourne, Australia. The successful candidate will gain skills in mathematical tools for climate science, running climate models, the analysis of large data sets and preparation of scientific journal papers.
