Dear colleagues,
Please forward the below information to other colleagues who may be
interested in the postdoc position that hasopened in the CSIRO Oceans
and Atmosphere flagship.
OCE Postdoctoral Fellowship in Climate Extremes and Australian
Terrestrial Vegetation
Work alongside leaders in your field
Carry out innovative, impactful research of importance
Exciting opportunity to kick-start your career in a leading
scientific organisation
The Position:
CSIRO offers PhD graduates an opportunity to launch their scientific
careers through our Office of the Chief Executive (OCE) Postdoctoral
Fellowships. Successful applicants will work with leaders in the field
of science and receive personal development and learning opportunities.
This OCE Postdoctoral Fellowship opportunity is within a small team that
uses biospheric models and large datasets to understand material and
energy exchanges of the Australian landscape and how these are affected
by climate extremes.
Climate variability, and associated water availability and heat
extremes, is an important aspect of the climate system that affects
society. New science is emerging on the very likely increase of climate
extremes under a warmer Earth. Yet the response of vegetation to these
changes is one of the largest uncertainties in projecting future
climate, carbon sequestration and water resources. You will contribute
to establishing process-based understanding of the responses of
vegetation to changes in water availability and heat extremes by
integrating modelling, flux and remote sensing data.
Your duties will include:
Use of high resolution hyperspectral and LIDAR remote-sensing data
to detect temporal dynamics of phenology, growth, structure, and
plant functional traits at a range of eddy-covariance sites around
Australia.
Use derived information to constrain vegetation structural dynamics
within a biospheric model at the flux sites. This will require the
implementation of observation models with the biospheric model.
Use biospheric model simulations at the continental level to assess
the effects of climate variability and extremes on vegetation dynamics.
Contribute to the development of innovative concepts and ideas for
further research.
Undertake CSIRO?s postdoctoral training program.
Location:Yarralumla, ACT Australia
Salary: AUD$78k to $88k plus up to 15.4% superannuation
Tenure: 3 year term
Ref no: ACT15/01092????
To be successful you will have:
A doctorate (or will shortly satisfy the requirements of a PhD) in a
relevant discipline area, such as earth system science,
biology/ecology, environmental sciences, remote sensing, mathematics
or physics.
Demonstrated capability to conduct innovative research, with
interest in plant physiology and function, and the carbon and water
cycle.
Strong numerical skills with experience in handling and analysing
large datasets including flux data, remote sensing products and
biopsheric model output.
Experience in data assimilation and the development of observation
models.
The ability to work effectively as part of a multi-disciplinary,
regionally dispersed research team.
Owing to terms of the fellowship, candidates must not have more than 3
years of relevant Postdoctoral experience.

Post-Doctoral Position: Seasonal to Decadal Climate Prediction for
Climate Services.
Job Description:
Within the Earth Sciences Department of the Barcelona Supercomputing
Center (ES-BSC), led by Prof Francisco Doblas-Reyes, the services group
includes climate prediction research to advance actionable climate
information for key sectors of society. Time scales of interest range
from a few weeks to a few decades into the future (sub-seasonal to
decadal climate prediction) and from local and regional to global scales.
The position will report to the group head, Francisco Doblas-Reyes, and
the objectives will be achieved in close collaboration with: 1. Albert
Soret and Melanie Davis (Coordinators of the services group with
experience in the application and development of air quality and
renewable energy sectors respectively), 2. Nube Gonz?lez-Reviriego
(Post-doctorate with experience in Euro-Atlantic teleconnections and
their influence on climate variability and sub-seasonal predictions), 3.
Ver?nica Torralba Fern?ndez (PhD student working on the formulation and
verification of seasonal predictions for wind power applications), as
well as all members of the ES-BSC and other research groups at the BSC.
This position therefore presents the opportunity to work alongside a
wide range of leading, international climate specialists delivering
innovative climate science and climate services across Europe. The
incumbent will enjoy joining one of the leading and most dynamic
European groups in the field of climate predictions for societal and
business applications.
