Two PhD positions in meteorological visualisation are available at the
Chair for Computer Graphics and Visualization at the Technische
Universitaet Muenchen in Munich, Germany (Prof. Dr. Ruediger Westermann).
The positions (full-time TV-L E13 for up to 4 years) are funded in the
context of the transregional Collaborative Research Center "Waves to
Weather" (http://w2w.meteo.physik.uni-muenchen.de). The projects will
primarily deal with the interdisciplinary (computer science/meteorology)
development of new techniques for uncertainty and ensemble visualization
for large meteorological datasets. Topics will include feature
extraction and definition in flow and scalar fields, ensemble
visualization, interactive 3D visualization, and more, all in the
context of concrete meteorological applications.
Applicants should have a strong background in computer science,
meteorology, or related field, and bring motivation to perform
independent research in an interdisciplinary team. Strong programming
skills are necessary, knowledge of visualization and computer graphics
or ensemble forecasting techniques would be a plus. We expect good
communication and writing skills in English.
Details on the projects and instructions on how to apply are available at

Two PhD opportunities investigating megadrought risk
We are seeking two motivated candidates for PhD projects in the School of Earth Sciences at the University of Melbourne and the School of Earth, Atmosphere and Environment at Monash University, Australia.
These projects are part of a funded 3??-year Australian Research Council Linkage project, Megadrought likelihood and its water resource impacts in Australia, involving industry partners from leading Australian water authorities and the Bureau of Meteorology.
PROJECT 1: Megadrought likelihood and its water resource impacts in Australia
This cross-disciplinary project will bridge the gap between fundamental research and practical applications in Science and Engineering. It will use palaeoclimate reconstructions, observational and climate model data to quantify severe drought risk. It will provide the candidate with opportunities to directly engage with leading researchers and practitioners in the fields of climate science, palaeoclimatology and hydrology/water resources engineering. The successful candidate will have opportunities to travel and present their work at national and international conferences, and will form strong links with industry.
Project contacts: Prof David Karoly (dkaroly@unimelb.edu.au<mailto:dkaroly@unimelb.edu.au>) and Dr Ben Henley (bhenley@unimelb.edu.au<mailto:benjamin.henley@unimelb.edu.au>)
PROJECT 2: The simulation of megadrought risk in climate models
This project will examine the ability of climate models to simulate megadrought risk in Australia. The project will include characterising megadrought in coupled climate models, identifying systematic biases and determining links to large scale ocean-atmosphere processes.
Project contacts: Dr Ailie Gallant (ailie.gallant@monash.edu<mailto:ailie.gallant@monash.edu>) and Dr Ben Henley (bhenley@unimelb.edu.au<mailto:benjamin.henley@unimelb.edu.au>)
Graduates with a strong background in hydrology, water resources engineering, atmospheric science, climate science, oceanography, physical geography, physics or mathematics are encouraged to apply. Applicants with multi-disciplinary backgrounds are particularly encouraged to apply. Applicants must have a very strong academic track record (Honours Class I, or equivalent), a passion for science and a strong motivation to develop practical solutions to grand challenges.
Send your expression of interest to the project contacts, containing your:
1. CV
2. Academic transcripts
3. Copies of any publications
4. A short statement outlining why you are interested in this research project
If your expression of interest is accepted you will be invited to apply for an Australian Government or equivalent University PhD scholarship. Non-Australian residents will also be required to apply for a fee-waiver scholarship for this appointment. A top-up scholarship of $5000 p/a will also be offered with further funds available for travel and computing support.
The project investigators are: Prof David Karoly, Dr Murray Peel, Dr Joelle Gergis, Dr Ailie Gallant, Assoc Prof Rory Nathan and Dr Ben Henley.
