The BOUSSOLE project seeks applicants for a 2-year position, with a
start as soon as possible. The position is proposed at the Laboratoire
d?Oc?anographie de Villefranche (LOV) within the Marine Optics, Ocean
Colour Remote Sensing and Marine Biogeochemistry (OMTAB) group
(http://www.lov.obs-vlfr.fr/en/the_laboratory/research_groups/omtab_group.html)
The goals of the BOUSSOLE project are fundamental research in bio-optics
and calibration/validation of satellite ocean colour observations. The
project started in 2000 and has built (and continues to build) a unique
data set of inherent and apparent optical properties plus biogeochemical
properties in the North-western Mediterranean Sea. These data are
collected from an offshore mooring and during monthly cruises to the
mooring site. BOUSSOLE is funded by the European Space Agency (ESA), the
National French Space Agency (CNES), and the French National Scientific
Research Institute, CNRS/INSU. See at http://www.obs-vlfr.fr/Boussole.
The applicants are expected to work on the assessment of the error
(uncertainty) budget for the radiometry measurements performed on the
mooring, in particular by working on the identification and
quantification of uncertainties associated to measurement of radiometric
quantities (radiance and irradiance) and their propagation to the ocean
colour products (e.g., remote sensing reflectance and diffuse
attenuation coefficients). This work will be carried out in
collaboration with the BOUSSOLE staff and the UK National Physical
Laboratory (NPL). NPL is indeed engaged with LOV in improving
calibration of BOUSSOLE radiometers and in establishing a full error
budget of radiometry measurements. Other research topics related to the
BOUSSOLE objectives, and to be developed in parallel to the main
activity described here, will be possibly discussed with the project PI.
Applicants should be suitably qualified (Ph.D level) in oceanography
with a background in marine optics, and should have the necessary
experience in data processing. Some background in theory of measurements
and errors and in statistical analyses is required.
Capabilities to conduct radiometric work in the laboratory and fieldwork
would be appreciated but are not essential. Either French or English are
appropriate as working languages.
The annual salary will depend on the level of experience of the
candidate. The laboratory is located in Villefranche-sur-mer, near Nice
on the French Riviera. The position will start for a year, renewable in
case the candidate and the project PI are willing to do so (can expand
up to four years, funding permitting).
CVs and covering letters, as well as requests for additional
information, are to be sent to the project manager Vincenzo Vellucci
(enzo@obs-vlfr.fr <mailto:enzo@obs-vlfr.fr>, with ?Boussole-Position? in
the subject line), with copy to the project PI, David Antoine
(antoine@obs-vlfr.fr <mailto:antoine@obs-vlfr.fr>). Deadline for
applications is 8 March 2015.

The Lancaster Environment Centre at Lancaster University is advertising a few additional PhD studentships (university-funded) to start in October 2015. A number of these may be of interest to the atmospheric or climate community; the deadline for applications is next week, Wed 4th Feb. A full list of projects on offer is available at:
http://www.lancaster.ac.uk/lec/postgraduate/postgraduate-research/research-degree-opportunities/current-opportunities/
I am particularly keen to find potential students with interests or experience in systems and control theory or in atmospheric composition modelling who are up to the challenge of applying model predictive control to air quality models for the following project, which is co-supervised by colleagues at the Chinese Academy of Sciences:
Mitigation and Control of Urban Air Pollution in China
(supervised by Oliver Wild, Andy Jarvis, and Zifa Wang)
http://www.findaphd.com/search/ProjectDetails.aspx?PJID=60394&LID=722
This project is open to international students, not just to UK and EU citizens. If you know anyone who might be interested, please forward the links above. Application is online, and further details can be addressed by email to Andy Harrod at lec.pg@lancaster.ac.uk.
