MARITIME CONTINENT RESEARCH FELLOW (2-yr postdoc position), The University of Melbourne
The maritime continent region is characterised by multi-scale moist convective processes that pose a challenge to most classes of weather and climate models. There are a range of complex mesoscale interactions in the region, including those between the atmosphere and terrain, which controls the diurnal cycle of precipitation, and the tendency for convection to self-organize or aggregate. This position will examine mesoscale aspects of maritime continent convection and is focused on two specific topics: (1) to evaluate and attempt to improve high-resolution (convection-permitting) versions of the Met Office Unified Model over the Maritime Continent region; and (2) to consider fundamental aspects of the processes that control the organization, aggregation, propagation, or initiation of convection in the region. We invite applications for a two-year postdoctoral fellowship. We seek a highly qualified and motivated candidate with experience in numerical modelling, and interests in cloud processes and/or mesoscale atmospheric dynamics.
This position is located within The University of Melbourne?s School of Earth Sciences under the supervision of Assoc. Prof. Todd Lane, but also sits within the tropical convection research program of the ARC Centre of Excellence for Climate System Science (www.climatescience.org.au <http://www.climatescience.org.au/>). This program cuts across multiple institutions and the appointee will benefit from being an integral part of the team and contribute to the broader research program.
Applications close 30 August 2015.
