The Institute for Geophysics and Meteorology, University of Cologne,
Germany, invites applications for a position as a *Research Associate in
Atmospheric Modelling starting from 01 September 2015*.
The position is full-time; the salary is based on the German TV-L 13
scale if terms and conditions under collective bargaining law are
fulfilled. The initialcontract period is limited to *3 years with
possibility of extension for two years*.
The RA is expected to play a key role in the atmospheric modelling
group, to support theresearch, teaching and administrative activities of
Prof. Dr. Yaping Shao, to carry out own researchas well as to assist the
fellow members of the team.
Qualified candidates with a PhD in meteorology and other closely related
natural sciencedisciplines and expertise in computational Earth system
and atmospheric modelling areencouraged to apply. Experience in
scientific programming and skills in scientific writing areessential.

African Monsoon Multidisciplinary Analysis (AMMA-2050) project
University of Leeds
Fixed term for 34 months - available immediately
We seek an ambitious scientist with interests in atmospheric dynamics and the
statistics of rainfall, to study the physical processes controlling high-impact
weather over West Africa. As part of a joint project with the Met Office, CEH
Wallingford and partners in Africa and Europe, we will use kilometre-resolution
numerical models to understand how patterns of rainfall in Africa respond to
local climatic feedbacks, global forcing and climate change. The overall
project aims to reduce uncertainty in the projections of future African
rainfall on the 5-40 year timescale, in order that model projections are better
able to support decision-making.
AMMA-2050 is funded by the joint DFID-NERC ?Future Climates for Africa? (FCFA)
programme. You will be part of a large collaborative research team among the
partners in the project, which includes expertise in observations and modelling
of land-atmosphere exchange and global atmospheric dynamics, as well as
expertise in socio-economic impacts of climate change in West Africa. The work
will be embedded in large research groups at each of the institutions, offering
opportunities for wider collaborative work. You will have close collaboration
with colleagues at Leeds and elsewhere working in the IMPALA (Improving Model
Processes for African cLimAte) project, which is supplying most of the model
data for AMMA-2050. You will be expected to undertake placements with partner
organisations, including an extended research placement with the Senegalese
weather service (ANACIM) in Dakar, and several visits to the Met Office in the
UK. Similarly, we will host visits of partner scientists to Leeds.
The multi-year convection-permitting numerical simulations to be used in
AMMA-2050 represent a step-change in our ability to model tropical rainfall.
The results will be used to improve our theoretical and conceptual
understanding of climate change and climate variability in the tropics, and
will influence the interpretation of climate predictions at local level. The
models and their interpretation will also be used to drive collaborative work
on socio-economic impacts of climate change in the region, with our partners
conducting studies of agricultural planning and urban flooding in particular.
You will contribute to our understanding of how global climate change has
impacts on local and regional climate of Africa. There is the potential for a
number of important publications arising from the work. We aim that the results
will increase confidence in model climate projections for Africa, and will
influence methods and policies for exploitation of climate projections in
tropical continental regions.
You will join one of the largest Atmospheric Science research centres in
Europe, with a large and active group studying deep convection and tropical
dynamics, and a substantial climate-impacts programme. We have a formal
partnership with the Met Office, and we host the Directorate of the UK's
National Centre for Atmospheric Science (NCAS).
You will be expected to contribute to the ongoing research in atmospheric
science in the School. Your work will lead to significant publications in
atmospheric and climate science and you will also present your research at
national and international meetings. You will communicate outcomes of the
research to relevant stakeholders outside academia.
You must have a PhD (or be close to obtaining) in a quantitative physical
science, such as Atmosphere Science, Physics, Applied Mathematics or
Meteorology, and experience of the use of large numerical model datasets. You
should be willing to collaborate actively with partners in Africa and Europe,
including research placements with selected partners. You will be used to
programming on a Unix/Linux operating system and have excellent communication
skills.
The University of Leeds? commitment to women in science has been recognised
with a national accolade. The University has received the Athena Swan Bronze
Award in recognition of our success in recruiting, retaining and promoting
women in Science, Engineering and Technology (SET). The Faculty of Environment
are in the process of preparing an application for an Athena Swan award to
recognise our commitment and work in these areas.
Job sharing arrangements can be considered
