Dear Colleagues,
I'd like to advertise a three-year post-doc position for a
biogeochemical modeller at the Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and
Marine Research in Bremerhaven, Germany.
The position is part of a large paleo-modelling initiative in Germany
`From the Last Interglacial to the Anthropocene: Modeling a Complete
Glacial Cycle? (funded by the German Ministry of Science & Education)
and the focus of the subproject is on the coupling between the iron and
silicon cycle in the ocean over the glacial period. The full job
advertisement can be found under
http://www.awi.de/arbeiten-lernen/jobs/stellenangebote/biogeochemical-modeler.html
I would be grateful if you could circulate this information to
colleagues who might be interested. I am also happy to answer questions
directly. The deadline for the application is the end of august.
Best regards,
Christoph

Postdoctoral Research Assistant
Ocean Modelling
University of Oxford
Department of Physics (Atmospheric, Oceanic and Planetary Physics)
Grade 7 (?30,434 - ?37,394)
Full time, fixed term, 32 months
Closing date: 30 September 2015
Job reference: 119325
Applications are invited for a Postdoctoral Research Assistant in Ocean Modelling. This post is a UK contribution to the international ?Overturning in the Subpolar North Atlantic Program? (OSNAP) and it is available for a fixed-term of 32 months.
The postholder will use a state-of-the-art ocean model and its adjoint to probe the sensitivity of the circulation of the subpolar North Atlantic to surface forcing anomalies and to anomalies observed by OSNAP in the ocean interior. The successful candidate will collaborate closely with OSNAP partners at Oxford, in the UK and internationally. The postholder will have the opportunity to teach.
Applicants should possess, or be very close to obtaining, a doctorate in a physical, mathematical or computational science. Strong numerical modelling skills and proven track record of original research is essential. Previous experience in physical oceanography or climate physics will be an advantage.
Please direct informal enquiries to David Marshall (david.marshall@physics.ox.ac.uk) or Helen Johnson (helen.johnson@earth.ox.ac.uk).
Only applications received before 12.00 midday on 30 September 2015 can be considered. You will be required to upload a CV, publication list, supporting statement and details of two referees as part of your online application. To apply, or for further details including the job description and selection criteria, please visit www.recruit.ox.ac.uk and search by vacancy number 119325.

*Post-doctoral fellowship at Ifremer - France*
*Study of the Arctic sea ice variability, understanding the relative
contributions of the atmospheric forcings using satellite observation
and model data
Over the past decade, the Arctic Basin has been undergoing major
transformations, including a significant decline of the sea ice cover.
Part of this decline is thought to be related to an earlier start of the
melting season every year. The sea ice pack goes through different
phases over the year: Sea ice formation occurs in winter, followed by a
decrease in extent and volume in spring and summer, due to both local
melting and sea ice drift and export outside of the Arctic Basin through
Fram Strait.In this study, we plan to examine the spatial and temporal
variability of the Arctic sea ice pack, with a focus on the sea ice
volume using new satellite observations of the sea ice thickness. We
will determine and quantify the relative contributions of the different
atmospheric forcing (dynamic and thermodynamic) to the sea ice pack
variations over the last decade. Using multiple datasets (including the
satellite observations available at IFREMER through the CERSAT archive
data center and data from model reanalysis), we aim to better understand
the physical mechanisms at play for the sea ice volume variability. This
approach will first require to analyze and understand the limitations,
uncertainties and errors associated with the different datasets,
including the newly available sea ice thickness observations from the
satellite missions Cryosat, EnviSAT and SMOS. Comparing datasets from
various sources should allow us to highlight the consistency (or the
lack of) between the different parameters (sea ice concentration, sea
ice extent, sea ice drift, sea ice categories, sea ice thickness,
atmospheric forcing) provided in the different datasets.
