Postdoctoral Fellow in Coupled Regional Climate Modeling
Department of Geological Sciences, Jackson School of Geosciences
The University of Texas at Austin
The Climate Dynamics Group in the Department of Geological Sciences in
the Jackson School of Geosciences at The University of Texas at Austin
seeks to hire an outstanding Postdoctoral Fellow to participate in the
development and application of a coupled regional climate model. The
project will focus on both the further development of the model and
applications in the tropical Atlantic to improve our understanding of
air/sea/land interactions. The model couples the WRF regional model with
an intermediate-level mixed-layer ocean model that accounts for the
exchange of both heat and momentum with the atmosphere.
Candidates must have received a PhD in atmospheric science,
oceanography, or a related discipline within the last three years, and
have strong modeling and analysis skills. Expected start date is 1
September 2015 or as negotiated. The initial appointment is for 1 year,
renewable for a second year depending on performance and the
availability of funds.
Review of applications will begin on 1 June 2015. All interested
applicants should submit a complete CV and contact information for three
references to Dr. Edward K. Vizy (<ned@jsg.utexas.edu>). For more
information, please contact Dr. Vizy (<ned@jsg.utexas.edu>) or Professor
Kerry H. Cook (<kc@jsg.utexas.edu>).
Background check conducted on applicant selected. The University of
Texas at Austin is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Employer.

Post Doctoral Position related to the EUPORIAS project funded by the FP7
of the European Union : "Seasonal-to-decadal climate (S2D)
predictions towards climate services?.
Work description : The work consist in preparing the Meteo-France
contribution to the different deliverables in close collaboration with
another contractual researcher recruited for the project, permanent
staff of the Climatology Department, partners of the project and the
stakeholder group. The objective is to develop a prototype of climate
service for water resource management and energy. A special attention
will be paid to the feasibility of implementing a new operational
Hydropower Climate Service Prototype and the identification of
logistical and cost implications of running such a new operational
forecast. First, the prototype had been run in hind-cast mode to see how
the system would have worked during a past period. Usefulness and
limitations had been assessed. This evaluation/validation work is
encouraging and needs to be finalized. The work will continue in the
next months with the preparation of the technical environment for
running the prototype in forecast mode and provide forecasts for several
months ahead. Last a stakeholder-specific communication strategy will be
developed and implemented with respect of the climate service
implementation.

A PhD position is available NOW on the topic of "A*tmospheric
Composition in Two Contrasting Megacities"*
Dr. Ruth Doherty (University of Edinburgh), Dr. David Carruthers
(CERC), Dr Massimo vieno (CEH), Prof.David Stevenson (University of
Edinburgh)
Air pollution is an environmental factor that has huge impact on human
health globally, especially in densely populated Megacities. Air quality
in a megacity is influenced by the regional background of pollution
entering the region as well as local emissions. The aim of this project
is to use an coupled regional and urban atmospheric chemistry transport
model to study air pollution in two megacities: London and Beijing and
determine the different processes that control their air pollution
levels. Key research questions focussing on urban processes may include:
1. Does greater chemical complexity improve simulated air quality?
2. To what extent is regional transport of air pollution important
during different seasons in these two megacities?
3. How do elevated pollution levels affect boundary layer meteorology
and in turn mixing and chemistry in these two megacities?
4. How might future growth in these megacities impact air quality?
For further details see:

The project for 2015-16 entry is funded under the Edinburgh Earth and
Environment Doctoral Training Partnership E3 Doctoral Training Programme
with additional CASE support from CERC. Projects are currently

The Department of Earth Sciences at the University of Oxford and the National Oceanography Center have a 4-year Ph.D. studentship in
ocean biogeochemical modeling funded through the NERC Large Grant Project COMICS (Controls over Ocean Mesopelagic Interior
Carbon Storage). The student will be based at Oxford. This is an exciting opportunity for someone with a good first degree in the natural
sciences, maths or engineering to work on a cutting edge problem at the intersection of marine biogeochemistry, mathematical modeling
and computer science. The studentship start date is October 2015. A brief description is given below and further details are available
at: http://www.earth.ox.ac.uk/graduate_admissions.
The deadline for applications is 10 June, 2015 and interviews will be held at the end of June.
Project title: Toward a mechanistic model of the ocean biological carbon pump
Supervisor: Prof. Samar Khatiwala (samark@earth.ox.ac.uk)
Co-Supervisor: Dr. Adrian Martin (adrian.martin@noc.ac.uk)
Photosynthesis by phytoplankton at the surface of the ocean absorb CO2 from the atmosphere to produce organic matter. At the end
of their life cycle these marine organisms aggregate into large, rapidly sinking particles. This sinking organic matter is in turn fed on
by bacteria and zooplankton, respiring CO2 that can stay dissolved in the deep ocean for thousands of years. This set of processes,
collectively known as the "biological carbon pump" (BCP), is a major pathway by which carbon is transported from the atmosphere
to the deep sea. Understanding the complex processes that control the efficiency of the BCP and hence the relative partitioning of
carbon between the ocean and atmosphere and, ultimately, climate, is thus one of the leading problems in oceanography and climate
science. Current models of the BCP embedded within global climate models do not however have a mechanistic representation of the
BCP. They are thus largely incapable of responding to environmental changes and cannot be used to investigate how the BCP will
evolve in the future or how it may have operated in the past.
The primary objective of this project is to obtain a mechanistic understanding of the BCP and it's response to environmental conditions.
To achieve this objective, a global model that represents the process through which marine particles stick together or break apart will
be developed. Starting with the growth of phytoplankton at the surface the model will use a Lagragian, stochastic approach to explicitly
simulate the main processes of coagulation and disaggregation affecting the sinking of organic particles through the ocean. This model
of particles and biogeochemistry will interact with ocean circulation as simulated by models such as UKESM. To feasibly carry out this
computation we will exploit programmable GPUs to achieve computational speedup of the model and scale it up to run in 3-d. The
student will not only lead the development of the model-acquiring training and skills in marine biogeochemistry, oceanography and
high performance computing and numerical modeling-but also perform experiments to mechanistically explore the BCP?s response to
climate change. The student will actively collaborate with COMICS team members at the National Oceanography Centre, and other
groups in the US, Germany and France.
The successful applicant, whose first degree might be in physics, chemistry, biology, mathematics or engineering, will have strong
computing skills and an interest in modeling the ocean carbon cycle.
