PhD Studentship - Climate, Harmful Algal Blooms, and Human Health Ref: 1857
The University of Exeter Medical School European Centre for Environment and Human Health (www.ecehh.org<http://www.ecehh.org/>) in Truro (Cornwall UK) and the Met Office (www.metoffice.gov.uk<http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/>) in Exeter (UK) wish to recruit a doctoral student to work on CASE PhD project funded by NERC and the Met Office with collaborating Supervisors at Public Health England (PHE), the Centre for Environment, Fisheries and Aquaculture Science (CEFAS), and the Scottish Association of Marine Sciences (SAMS). The student will be based both at ECEHH and at the Met Office, as well as interacting with PHE, CEFAS and SAMS.
This doctoral studentship would suit a student interested in oceanographic and statistical/numerical modelling, epidemiology, and public health. Applicants should be highly motivated and have a relevant undergraduate degree (2:1 or above) and ideally an MSc qualification; strong quantitative skills are essential including good general computing skills (Fortran, Unix, MatLab or similar), with proven experience in handling and analysing large datasets.

Dear Madam/Sir,
Could you please advertise the following announcement on the Met-jobs site?
Thank you.
Kindly,

Scirocco Research Grants 2015
The SCatterometer InstRument Competence Centre, SCIRoCCo, has been established by the European Space Agency (ESA) in support of the exploitation activities for the ERS-2 Scatterometer mission. SCIRoCCo aims at becoming a reference center for the international meteorological agency, meteorological operations centers, and the research and educational community worldwide for the exploitation of the ERS Scatterometer mission data set and of the present and future C-band scatterometer mission data sets.
Within the SCIRoCCo project, a number of Research Grants at Master, Post-graduate and PhD level are available to carry out original research based primarily on the exploitation of ERS Scatterometer data, on the intercalibration between ESCAT (the ERS Scatterometer), ASCAT (on MetOp-A) and comparisons between models and retrievals. Research will be carried out at one of the SCIRoCCo Host Institutions: KNMI (The Netherlands), RMA (Belgium), TUWien (Austria), SERCO/University of Rome (Italy) and may involve collaboration with multiple SCIRoCCo partners. Research projects will start preferentially either before Summer 2015, in September or in January 2016, depending on negotiation, according to needs and availabilities.

Hello,
I would like to advertise the following exciting opportunity that has arisen in my team.
Some key points to note are:
* the vacancy is open to EU and non-EU applicants with a closing date of 23 July 2015.
* The Met Office uses an application form for recruitment and the process is based on evidence provided for the specific criteria that are listed (see below). CVs are not considered as evidence during the application process. If it's not on the form and relevant to the criteria, it can't be considered.
* The vacancy is aimed at the Scientist/Senior Scientist level and is fixed term for 3 years. Your evidence for the essential/desirable criteria will determine at which level your application is assessed.
Team description
The team in which this post sits has a varied portfolio and changes year-on-year, and sometimes within-year. It is certainly never dull! One example of a new project which is just kicking off is the development of a hydro-meteorological capability to assess ensemble-based catchment-based precipitation at the km-scale, as well as ensemble forecasts of stream flow, both of which are of interest in the context of Environmental Prediction, where we couple atmospheric, ocean and land surface processes, to name but some of the components. Other notable current activities include collaborating with other Met Services in considering tropical performance, global surface weather and how to assess the impact of observation uncertainty on the typical metrics we use. You need to have the skills and be able to be flexible. If you enjoy understanding what the statistics mean (or developing new metrics to help us understand) and are excited by the prospect of identifying potential issues which will ultimately help to make our models and forecasts better, then this is an ideal opportunity for you.
