Euro-Mediterraneo sui Cambiamenti Climatici (CMCC) invites applications
for a position in climate dynamics and modeling. The 2-year position
ranges from post-doc to junior scientist, and will be based at CMCC in
Bologna (Italy).
Work description: the successful candidate is expected to contribute to
the CMCC climate model maintenance and development. He/She will be
involved in the investigation of the physical mechanisms underlying the
variability and the predictability of the global climate system,
focusing in particular on the role played by land surface processes and
land-atmosphere interactions.
Academic background and skills required: the ideal candidate should hold
a Ph.D. in climate sciences or related fields. Experience with climate
models is required. Knowledge and experience with the Community
Atmospheric Model (CAM) and Community Land Model (CLM) are desirable.
Application: Applications are accepted now until the position is filled.
For full consideration, please send a cover letter describing areas of
expertise and research interests, a curriculum vitae with a list of
publications, and the name and contact information of two references to
Silvio Gualdi (silvio.gualdi@ingv.it <mailto:silvio.gualdi@ingv.it>) and
Alessio Bellucci (alessio.bellucci@cmcc.it
<mailto:alessio.bellucci@cmcc.it>).
Selection and attribution criteria: Candidates? curriculum vitae with
emphasis on prior experience with similar issues (climate modeling,
climate variability and predictability). Programming skills (Fortran,
Python/Grads, CDO/NCO or equivalent tools) will be taken in high
consideration, but major emphasis will be placed on scientific
independence, creativity and originality.

Concordia University
Department of Geography, Planning and Environment
Tenure-track Assistant Professor in the Science of Environmental Change,
Sustainability and Resilience
The Department of Geography, Planning and Environment is seeking a
tenure-track appointment in the Science of Environmental Change,
Sustainability and Resilience, with particular attention to the
scientific assessment of human impacts on the environment and human
adaptation to climate change. The candidate should hold a PhD in
physical geography or a related field, and be engaged in research on how
humans interact with and are shaping the environment. The successful
candidate will teach courses in our B.Sc. in Environmental Science, as
well teach and supervise students in our Master?s and PhD programs. We
are looking for demonstrated research excellence in a relevant field of
study within the natural sciences such as, but not limited to,
terrestrial biogeochemistry, land-use dynamics, geomorphology, and
climate science. A research program with a field component would be an
asset.
Applications must consist of a cover letter, a current curriculum vitae,
copies of recent publications, a statement of teaching
philosophy/interests, a statement of research achievements and plans,
and evidence of teaching effectiveness. Candidates must also arrange to
have three letters of reference sent directly to the departmental contact:
Dr. Monica E. Mulrennan
Chair, Department of Geography, Planning and Environment
Concordia University
1455 de Maisonneuve Blvd. W.
Montreal, Quebec, Canada, H3G 1M8
Email: chair.gpe@concordia.ca <mailto:chair.gpe@concordia.ca>
Web: <http://gpe.concordia.ca>
Subject to budgetary approval, we anticipate filling these positions,
normally at the rank of Assistant Professor, for August 1st 2016. Unless
otherwise stipulated, candidates for all positions should have a PhD.
Review of applications will begin immediately and will continue until
the positions are filled. All applications should reach departments no
later than November 15th 2015. All inquiries about the position should
be directed to Dr. Monica Mulrennan.

Vacancy for a PhD student in Mountain Climatology/Glaciology
Starting date: January 1st or as soon as possible
We have an open position (3+1 year) for one PhD student at the
University of Fribourg, Switzerland, Department of Geosciences, Physical
Geography Unit (<http://www.unifr.ch/geoscience/geographie>) within the
topic of:
Precipitation/accumulation processes in high-mountain cryospheric
environments
by means of climate data products, models and field observations and
with links to climate change impacts and adaptation research.
Understanding the evolution of the precipitation regime in high-mountain
regions is key for the assessment of future changes of the high-mountain
cryosphere and thus for the development of water resources and changing
risks in these regions. The temporal and spatial scarcity of reliable
data records, however, limits related studies. Combining knowledge and
methods from atmospheric and cryospheric sciences has a great potential
to significantly improve our knowledge on high-mountain cryospheric
regimes with focus on precipitation processes.
The successful candidate is supposed to advance in this challenging
interface of atmosphere-cryosphere research, and to strengthen in
particular the atmospheric part. The open PhD position will be well
embedded in ongoing research activities at our unit (particularly the
Alpine Cryosphere and Geomorphology Group), while focusing on the
following main objectives:
? Improving the understanding of precipitation and snow and ice
accumulation processes in high ?mountain regions (Alps, Himalayas,
Andes) and the impacts on the cryosphere
? Evaluation of climate data products (in particular precipitation,
snow) in high-mountain regions and development of dedicated approaches
and methods for their use in high-mountain cryospheric research.
? Analyses of the evolution of the precipitation and cryospheric regime
in high-mountain regions at the local and regional scale, in the context
of impacts for the environment and societies
It is further expected that the successful candidate will participate in
teaching activities at the Department of Geosciences (BSc and MSc level).
Applicants should have a Diploma or MSc degree in atmospheric or
environmental sciences, geography, hydrology or in a closely related
field. Experience and skills in processing large (climate) datasets
(e.g. NetCDF) and numerical modeling is required; skills in fieldwork
and mountaineering are an asset.
We encourage applications from scientifically motivated, independent and
creative individuals with interests in interdisciplinary research, and
which enjoy working in a team. Good oral and written communication
skills in English are expected. Knowledge of German and/or French will
be considered an advantage.
The Department of Geosciences offers an interdisciplinary, international
work environment within the bilingual (German/French) University of
Fribourg, Switzerland, situated close to the Fribourg Prealps and the
nearby lakes of the Dreiseenland. Our geography unit has a strong,
internationally recognized expertise in the monitoring and modelling of
physical processes of the Alpine cryosphere with a focus on climate
change impacts and adaptations, including the human dimension.
Please send your application including cover letter, statement of
research interest, CV, relevant diploma(s), an example of your own
scientific writing (if available) and the names and contact details of
2-3 potential references in one pdf-file to Nadine Salzmann
(nadine.salzmann@unifr.ch). Review of applications will begin on
November 12, 2015, and continue until the position is filled (after
November 30, 2015, please check on
http://www.unifr.ch/geoscience/geographie/en/general-information/open-position
whether the position is still open).
For questions please contact Dr. Nadine Salzmann
(<nadine.salzmann@unifr.ch>).
