JOB POSTING ? POSTDOCTORAL FELLOW
*Area of Research:*
The High Arctic is changing very fast and these changes are important,
both within the region and as their influence propagates out to lower
latitudes. Using measurements from the Polar Environment Atmospheric
Research Laboratory (PEARL) at Eureka, Nunavut and measurements from
other sites around the Arctic and the rest of the globe, the Probing the
Atmosphere of the High Arctic (PAHA) project ? which involves many
Canadian University researchers ? is investigating the Atmosphere of the
Canadian High Arctic.
The PAHA project has an opportunity for a post-doctoral fellow (PDF) to
conduct satellite validation and intercomparison studies using the PEARL
dataset. Satellite validation establishes the accuracy and reliability
of satellite measurements through comparisons with well-characterized
data sets. Within PAHA, we are using this high Arctic data set for
validating current satellite missions focusing on trace gases and
aerosol properties.
*Description of duties:*
The successful applicant will be responsible for conducting statistical
comparisons between PEARL and satellite datasets (with some focus on the
Canadian missions SCISAT and OSIRIS); employing innovative comparison
methods; and collaborating with satellite science teams, other
ground-based measurement sites and other PAHA researchers.
*Salary:*
$45,000 per year.
*Required qualifications:*
A Ph.D. degree in Physics, Atmospheric Science or a relevant field is
required. We seek a candidate with expertise in atmospheric data
analysis and remote sensing datasets. Experience with satellite
validation and/or scientific experience working with satellite
retrievals would be advantageous.
*Application instructions*
All individuals interested in this position must submit a cover letter,
curriculum vitae and a statement indicating how they would expect to
contribute to the above project to Prof. Kaley A. Walker by the closing
date. Applicants should also arrange for two academic references to be
submitted by the closing date.

Closing date: 15th November 2015, 5pm
Inquiries about the position and the application process may be
addressed to: Frederic Dias, Head of the wave group (frederic.dias@ucd.ie)
This postdoctoral position is within a project co-funded by Ireland
(SFI), the US (NSF) and Northern Ireland (DELNI). The postdoc will be
based in the School of Mathematics and Statistics of University College
Dublin. The wave group has an international reputation in the study of
waves and computational fluid mechanics. See www.ercmultiwave.eu
High-energy coastal waves cause massive infrastructural damage, and the
bigger the storm the greater the effect. There is evidence that both
frequency and intensity of coastal storms are increasing, raising
questions about sustainability of coastal settlements and
infrastructure. At the same time, investment in such infrastructure is
rising, both for coastal protection and development of marine renewable
energy sources. To develop risk assessment models for coastal storm
damage, and to understand the magnitude of forces likely to act on
structures deployed along the coast and in the shallow ocean, we need to
be able to quantify the upper limits for storm wave power.
Surprisingly, we lack data putting upper limits on forces exerted by
storm waves impacting the coast. There is no consensus about masses that
can be transported by storm waves, which means that it has not been
possible to fully model or predict the effects of storm waves on coasts.
The present project will change that situation decisively, and is made
possible in large part by data collected on the Aran Islands after the
2013/2014 winter?s storms.
The postdoc will model wave amplification across uneven submarine
topography with a combined global- and local-scale approach. The
modelling will be computationally intensive. The postdoc will be in
close contact with Queen?s University Belfast, where experiments will be
performed.
The applicant must have a strong background in Numerical Methods,
Mathematics, and Fluid Mechanics.
The salary will be ?33,975.
The latest starting date is 01 March 2016 and the maximum contract
duration is 31 months.
The wave group in the School of Mathematics and Statistics at University
College Dublin is very dynamic and gathers more than 12 faculty,
postdocs and PhD students.

WIPAFF ? Job Opening
Analysis of properties and impacts of offshore wind park far fields -
analysis of wind farm wakes and their regional climate impact using
meso-scale wind field models and an analytical wind farm model We seek a
PhD student or a post-doctoral researcher who is interested to simulate
offshore wind farm wakes with the WRF model. The employment will be
limited to a three-year term, starting as soon as possible. The
successful candidate should have some experience in numerical flow or
weather modelling and a background in a mathematical of physically based
science. The work will be done at the Institute of Meteorology and
Climate Research (IMK-IFU) of Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) in
Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany. In case of a PhD work, the thesis
should be finalized within these three years and thereafter defended at
the University of Cologne, Germany.
Overall characterisation of the project
The aim of WIPAFF is the analysis of wind and turbulence conditions in
far fields of offshore wind farms, i.e., 10 to 100 km behind the wind
farms. This is done in order to estimate the impact of large offshore
wind farms on neighbouring wind farms, and to assess by numerical
modelling the impact of the whole array of planned wind farms in the
North Sea on the regional climate. An existing simple analytical wind
farm model is to be validated in order to use it for rapid planning
processes. The project is a common effort of five joined projects headed
by the Institute for Meteorology and Climate Research of the Karlsruhe
Institute of Technology in Garmisch-Partenkirchen. The other partners
are from the University of Braunschweig, the Helmholtz Centre
Geesthacht, UL International GmbH (DEWI) in Wilhelmshaven and the
University of T?bingen. The project is funded by the German Federal
Ministry of Economical Affairs and Energy. The project will run from
November 1, 2015 to October 31, 2018.
The first step will be to integrate an existing ocean wave model into
the meso-scale wind field model WRF and to test the coupled model. An
appropriate parameterization scheme that describes the offshore wind
farms is to be integrated into the model as well. Then the whole updated
model is to be tested and validated with SAR, in-situ and aircraft data
obtained and provided by the partnering projects within WIPAFF. The
updated and tested model will then be used to simulate the interaction
of neighbouring wind farms in the North Sea and to assess the overall
impact of the planned array of wind farms on the regional climate.
Finally, an existing simple analytical wind farm model is to be
validated and optimized by comparison to the numerical model results and
the experimental data from the other projects.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"
The Energy-Meteorology research group at the Department of Meteorology
invites applications for an independent short-term research fellowship
(STRF) to work at the interface of energy- and climate- science.
The STRF is intended to support an early career scientist to develop
their research in this exciting and emerging interdisciplinary area. The
post holder will work closely with the Energy-Meteorology group but it
is anticipated that they will use the post as an opportunity to develop
their own research interests consistent with the broad area of energy-
and climate- science. Candidates' research experience may lie primarily
in either climate dynamics or energy science but a clear interest in
pursuing research relating to both fields must be demonstrated. The
initial post is fixed-term (expires 31st July 2016) but there is a
strong possibility for extension.
Applications close 4th December 2015. Further details are attached and
available at:
