The Australian Bureau of Meteorology is currently advertising several scientific and computing positions. All positions are located in the BoM's headquarters in Docklands, Melbourne, Victoria. They are all listed as "Non-ongoing (specified task up to 3 years)". Summaries and links are provided below.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Science Programmer - Numerical Weather Prediction Upgrade
https://bom.nga.net.au/publicfiles/bom/jobs/3c7d7e79-95be-eb86-234d-88fb1bd85078/Full%20Job%20Details_PDF%20Format.pdf
In the 2014-15 Commonwealth budget the Government provided funding through a New Policy Proposal for the update of the Bureau?s supercomputing capacity to support and improve NWP and improved communication capability in support of forecasts and warnings for extreme weather and natural disaster events and for seasonal climate forecasting.To enable this project, the Bureau is upgrading the underpinning infrastructure and critical operational systems. One element of this is the implementation of improved operational numerical prediction software.
We are looking for programmers to join the Bureau?s NWP team as part of this project, with a particular focus on developing, building and implementing improved NWP software.

The Research and Development Branch is seeking a scientist to contribute to a small team conducting innovative research and development on techniques to bias correct tropical cyclone structure and intensity in the output of numerical weather ensemble prediction models. The aim is to produce accurate, high resolution gridded ensemble wind fields that can be used to estimate well-calibrated probabilities of wind risk for offshore industries, and also as input to dynamical wave prediction models to similarly estimate probabilities of wave risk.
The successful applicant will possess a good knowledge of and have experience in meteorology and forecasting, including the use of objective guidance from NWP. He or she should demonstrate strong understanding of the application of statistical correction techniques to improve NWP forecasts and strategies for assessing forecast performance.

Hello,
Can you please add the following announcement to your next mailing? Thank you.
Best regards,
Gilles Bellon
============================================================
Vacancy: PhD position in atmospheric sciences at the University of Auckland (New Zealand)
The Department of Physics at the University of Auckland (New Zealand) is seeking applications for a PhD fellowship starting in late 2015/early 2016 to investigate tropical atmospheric variability on diurnal to intraseasonal scales on tropical islands, in terms of precipitation and circulation. Freshwater supply on tropical islands faces risks due to climate change, such as the salinization of the freshwater lens associated with the rise in sea level, or perturbations associated with a change in precipitation (insufficient recharge in case of droughts, pollution in case of extreme rainfall events). Understanding the precipitation over tropical islands is still a challenge. Tropical islands witness more precipitation than the surrounding oceans. Multiple factor explain this contrast, including the topography and effects of the diurnal cycle of insolation such as the land-sea breezes. The respective roles of the different factors are still to be quantified. Rainfall over islands is also modulated by the larger-scale variability of the tropical climate, on time scales of a few weeks to a few years. The project aims at better understanding the factors that control precipitation over tropical islands and its variability at diurnal to intraseasonal scales, using observations and both cloud-resolving and idealized models.
The University of Auckland is the most highly rated University in New Zealand, and Auckland is consistently rated as one of the world's top 10 most liveable cities. The tax-free stipend will be $27,000 NZD per year for three years and all tuition fees will be covered. Travel opportunities will be available, including collaboration visits where appropriate. Both projects will be contributing to international collaborative initiatives.
Please contact Gilles Bellon (gilles.bellon@auckland.ac.nz) for more information or to send an application. Applicants will require a strong Honours or Masters degree in a physical sciences discipline and an excellent command of English. They will need to meet the requirements of the University of Auckland?s PhD programme (<http://www.auckland.ac.nz/uoa/home/for/international-students/is-entry-requirements>). A good command of mathematics and programming would be an advantage. Applications should include a CV, copies of academic transcripts, a brief (1 page maximum) statement of research experience and aspirations, and the names of at least two people who can provide personal letters of reference.
