******** ArcTrain Post-Doctoral Fellowship position in deglacial ice and
climate system modelling *******
What were the relative impacts of changing deglacial meltwater fluxes and
changing ice sheet geometry on coupled atmospheric and ocean
circulation? How
did sea-ice respond and in turn feedback on the rest of the climate
system? And
how can we better represent these processes in coarse resolution GCMs?
We are
seeking a Post Doctoral Fellow (PDF) to investigate these and related
questions
as part of a large collaborative project within ArcTrain Canada
(<http://www.arctrain.ca/index.php/en/>).
The PDF will initially be based in the glacial dynamics group at MUN
(Memorial University of Newfoundland, St. John's). He/she will have
extended visits with co-supervisors/collaborators at the University of
Alberta (Edmonton, high resolution ocean modelling), McGill (sea-ice
modelling) and the UQAM (Montreal, comparison of model output to
paleo-oceanographic records).
Applications are invited from self-motivated candidates with
a deep interest in Earth systems modelling/science. Applicants must
have completed a PhD in physics, meteorology, physical oceanography,
or closely related areas by the start of PDF. Applicants must also be
interested in working in a collaborative environment on
computationally intensive projects.
Required qualifications:
- published record in ocean, atmosphere, or (preferably) coupled climate
system
modelling with GCMs
- Solid understanding of geophysical fluid dynamics and atmospheric/ocean
physics
- Experience in using F90, and analysis packages such as
OCTAVE/MATLAB/R/CDO/...
- Experience with Linux/UNIX systems, shell scripting,...
Salary will be commensurate with experience and competitive with US PDF
salaries. PDFs at Memorial University receive standard staff benefits.
Term: 1.5-2 years
Start date: Sept 2015 (or if needed, soon thereafter)
Computational resources: The Glacial Dynamics group at MUN has a
dedicated 540 core cluster (to be upgraded to over 1000 cores this fall)
and access to further computational resources through ACEnet and
SciNet.
Associated benefit: the spectacular natural environment of
Newfoundland, Canada
Interested candidates should contact Lev Tarasov (<lev@mun.ca>). Please
include a full CV, contact information for references, and a statement
of interest.
********************************
Glacial Cycle Earth Systems modelling advanced Post-Doctoral Fellowship (4
years)
(advanced notice: subject to final budget confirmation from the funding
agency)
********************************
How did the major ice sheets evolve over the last glacial cycle
(especially prior to last glacial maximum for which we have much less
paleo constraint)? How did they in turn affect the rest of the
climate system? To what extent was the coupled ice and climate system
robustly driven by Orbital forcing? Or was there, for instance, a
dominant stochastic aspect to the spatial pattern of ice sheet
inception?
We are seeking an advanced Post Doctoral Fellow (PDF) to investigate
these and related questions as part of a major paleoclimate modelling
initiative: From the Last Interglacial to the Anthropocene: Modeling a
Complete Glacial Cycle. A key focus will be Bayesian calibration of a
full glacial cycle ice and climate model (or more technically state
space estimation for the last glacial cycle). The PDF will be based in
the glacial dynamics group at MUN (Memorial University of
Newfoundland, St. John's). He/she will have extended visits with
project members in Potsdam and Bremen, Germany.
Applications are invited from highly motivated candidates with a deep
interest in Earth systems modelling/science. Applicants must have
completed a PhD in physics, meteorology, physical oceanography, or
closely related areas by the start of PDF. Preference will be given to
candidates with existing PDF experience. Applicants must also be
interested in working in a collaborative environment on
computationally intensive projects.
Required qualifications:
- published record in coupled Earth or climate system modelling with GCMs
- Solid understanding of geophysical fluid dynamics and atmospheric/ocean
physics
- Experience in using F90, and analysis packages such as
OCTAVE/MATLAB/R/CDO/...
- Some statistical expertise in data/model comparison
- Experience with Linux/UNIX systems, shell scripting,...
Salary will be commensurate with experience and competitive with US
PDF salaries. PDFs at Memorial University receive standard staff
benefits.
Term: 4 years (subject to an initial one year probationary period).
Start date: fall 2015
Interested candidates should contact Lev Tarasov (<lev@mun.ca>). Please
include a full CV, contact information for references, and a statement
of interest.
