The epartment of Meteorology offers a vibrant and stimulating environment for research. We need a talented and imaginative scientist to join a team effort aimed at understanding the physical processes affecting ocean heat uptake from observations and models, as well as investigating the traceability of the representation of these processes in a hierarchy of climate models ranging from simple two-layer models to fully comprehensive coupled climate models.
You will have:
* A PhD in physical oceanography or a related discipline
* Experience with numerical ocean models and high performance computing
* The ability to tackle computationally challenging problems
* The ability to maintain productive working relationships

RMS London: two paid internships for summer 2015

Risk Management Solutions (RMS)?is the world's leading provider of mathematical models and information related to the financial impact of natural catastrophes. We have a team of forty PhD scientists and engineers based in London building mathematical models that?predict the distributions of?possible damage due to?the effects of tropical storms, extra-tropical storms, thunderstorms, storm-surges, freshwater floods and tsunamis. We use a combination of observed data, reanalysis data, numerical, statistical and engineering models and data assimilation. We are the pioneers in the development and application of complex statistical and numerical modelling methods for the quantification of natural hazard risk, and our risk models are the most detailed and comprehensive models of natural catastrophes produced anywhere in the world. Our clients include several hundred insurance and reinsurance companies as well as brokers, banks, hedge funds, regional and local governments, and multilateral agencies.
?
We are trying to fill two paid internships for summer 2015 to work in our London offices. Current plans are that one would work on tropical cyclone landfall rate estimation, and the other on advanced visualisation techniques for cat models, although these topics may change.
??
Ideal candidates would be part-way through a PhD in Atmospheric Sciences, Meteorology, Oceanography, Applied Mathematics, Statistics, Hydrology, Wind Engineering, or similar. They would be used to working in a Unix or Linux environment, and writing their own code. They would have experience with either numerical models (such as AGCMs, OGCMs, CGCMs, regional models or mesoscale models), handling large data sets, or statistical modeling. Strong candidates with a different but equivalent profile would also be considered. Previous experience in catastrophe modeling, or specific expertise in modelling natural hazards, is not necessary.
?
If you are interested, please send an email, with a covering letter and CV, to london.recruiting@rms.com. Appropriate candidates will be invited for interview in London.
?
Many thanks,
