The role of Events Organiser is hands-on, often involves working as part of a team, acting as the central point of contact for conference related enquiries, preparing the Conference Organising Committee documents, minute taking and on-going administrative support to Committee members and to the programme, preparing programmes, biographies and abstracts and uploading them onto the Society's website.
>From time-to-time, in common with other staff in the Secretariat, you will also be expected to help on a short-term basis with any task that is necessary to ensure that the Society and its events run efficiently and achieve the objectives set by the Council.

Dear,
Find thereafter a one-year postdoctoral fellowship:
The "Remote Sensing and Hydrodynamic" team at the Laboratoire
d'Oc?anologie et de G?osciences (http://log.cnrs.fr/) in France is
seeking applications for a one-year postdoctoral fellowship, beginning
January1, 2016. The candidate will work on the evaluation and comparison
of atmospheric correction algorithms over optically-complex waters for
the SeaWiFS, MODIS and MERIS sensors. This work will be done in the
frame of an IOCCG working group headed by C?dric Jamet
(http://ioccg.org/groups/atm_corr.html). The candidate will be in charge
of collecting the outputs of the different atmospheric correction
algorithms involved in the evaluation, will have to use in-situ and
simulated datasets as well as satellite images and may have to run some
algorithms. Statistical evaluation will be done. At least, the candidate
will participate to sea-field cruises for collecting in-situ datasets
(radiometric) for match-ups exercise.
A PhD. at the time of appointment is required. Candidates with knowledge
about atmospheric correction and ocean color images processing will be
preferred. The position is only for a year. The candidate should be
highly motivated and have demonstrated ability to work independently.
Programming skills in Matlab, Python and SeaDAS, and strong oral and
written communication skills are essential.
Review applications starts now until December 15, 2015. Please apply by
sending an email to Cedric Jamet (cedric.jamet@univ-littoral.fr)
including a curriculum vitae, a cover letter and the names and adresses
of at least three referees. Should you have any questions, please feel
free to contact:
