Dear all,
There is a PhD position in solar radiometry available at the
Physikalisch-Meteorologisches Observatorium Davos and World Radiation
Center, PMOD/WRC, Switzerland:
PMOD/WRC is curently seeking a candidate for a PhD project funded by the
Swiss National Science Foundation (SNF). The project goals are to
understand and correct the absorptivity changes of our solar radiometers
in space and to develop a new absorptive black coating with ideal
optical, thermal, mechanical, and electrical properties, as well as good
applicability to radiometric sensors.
Total Solar Irradiance (TSI) is an Essential Climate Variable (ECV). It
is continuously monitored with dedicated solar radiometers flying on
different spacecraft. In order to detect and quanitify the secular
changes in the TSI the highest level of accuracy and stability is
required for these measurements. Over the past decade significant
improvements have been made to the thermal and optical design of TSI
radiometers, leaving sensor absorptance and degradation as the largest
contribution to the measurement uncertainty.
PMOD/WRC is a world leading institute in the field of solar radiometry.
We calibrate and operate radiometers on the ground and in space. We aim
at flying an improved version of our DARA radiometer on the ESA PROBA-3
mission, wich is to be launched in 2018 or 19. The successful candiate
will be closely involved with the development of the DARA radiometer for
PROBA-3. The successful applicant will work at PMOD/WRC in Davos Dorf,
Switzerland. Regular visits to University of Zurich will be required.
The position is open as of 1 November 2015. The project is currently
funded for 3 years. Applicants who hold a master in physics or a related
field are invited to send their resume to Dr. Wolfgang Finsterle
(<wolfgang@pmodwrc.ch>).

PhD scholarship: Understanding extremes in Australia's variable rainfall
Project
This project will address questions about the range and causes of Australia's variable rainfall. Australia experiences highly variable rainfall, which is influenced by both unforced climate variability and anthropogenic climate forcings. Hydrological extremes, such as drought and floods, have high socio-economic costs for Australia, so understanding the range of variability and processes that cause changes is critical.
This PhD project will investigate the influence of anthropogenic (e.g. greenhouse gases, aerosols and land use change) and natural (volcanic eruptions and solar variability) climate forcings on hydrological trends and extremes. Using climate models, observations and long-term palaeoclimate records, this project will investigate the processes behind recently observed hydroclimatic events in Australia, such as the persistent decline in rainfall in southwestern Western Australia, the extended Millennium Drought in southeastern Australia and the record eastern Australian rains in 2011.
Research Environment
The candidate will be supervised by Dr Sophie Lewis (ARC Centre of Excellence for Climate System Science, Fenner School of Environment and Society) and Associate Professor Nerilie Abram
(ARC Centre of Excellence for Climate System Science and Research School of Earth Sciences, Australian National University). The student will be based at The Australian National University in Canberra, with collaboration with the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies.
The candidate will become part of the Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for Climate System Science- an international research consortium of five Australian universities (The University of New South Wales, Monash University, The University of Melbourne, The University of Tasmania and The Australian National University) and a suite of outstanding national and international Partner Organizations. The Centre provides excellent opportunities for travel and graduate student development. http://www.climatescience.org.au
Expressions of interest
The successful candidate will receive a stipend of $26,288 (2016 rate) per year which will be indexed annually for the duration of the award. The duration of the award shall be for three years with a maximum possible extension of up to six months (assessed on a case by case basis). The successful candidate will be able to adapt the project to match their background, interests and expertise. To be eligible, a student must have completed a Bachelor Degree with First Class Honours, or be regarded by ANU as having an equivalent level of attainment.
If you are interested in applying please complete our Expression of Interest form:
https://www.climatescience.org.au/content/707-graduate-opportunities-expressions-interest
Note- this is not an official application, if your expression of interest is accepted we will guide you through the application process.
Deadline for submitting Expression of Interest- Feb 12, 2016.
For further information on the project, contact Dr Sophie Lewis (sophie.lewis@anu.edu.au)
