Dear colleagues.
We have an open 4-year PhD position in physical oceanography at the
Geophysical Institute, University of Bergen. The position is part of the
project "Overturning in the Nordic Seas". The overall objective of the
project is to study the coupled ocean-atmosphere climate system in the
Nordic Seas, a region that is of critical importance to the Atlantic
Meridional Overturning Circulation but very sensitive to climate change.
The objective will be achieved primarily through processing and analysis of
existing and new data sets as well as numerical modelling and theoretical
constraints. The observations are moored and shipboard measurements of
velocity, hydrography, and geochemical tracers as well as hydrographic
profiles from autonomous gliders and floats. The processes of interest
include open ocean convection, boundary current dynamics, and oceanic
response to atmospheric forcing. Please see the advertisement below for
additional details.
Thank you very much for sharing the information with potential candidates.
Best regards,
Kjetil Våge.

Pending approval of external funding, the Meteorological Institute of the University of Hamburg in the Center for Earth System Research and Sustainability is seeking a
3 year postdoc (100% E13 TV-L) for project HD(CP)2, starting April 1, 2016.
Within HD(CP)2, the subproject on 'anvil cirrus and stratiform convective outflow' aims at an improved process understanding and characterization of the impact of convection on upper tropospheric cloudiness and its change in a warming climate. Our role in the project is to add a satellite data perspective.

The University of Utah invites applications for a graduate student
(MS/PhD) position in the climate research group at the Atmospheric
Sciences Department. The position is funded by the National Science
Foundation under the project "Tropospheric Influences on Stratospheric
Low-frequency Variability". This research studies variations in the
strength of the wintertime stratospheric polar vortex over the Northern
Hemisphere. Such variations are of interest because they are related to
variations in the frequency of stratospheric sudden warmings (SSWs),
which impact weather and climate at the surface. The student will use
numerical modelling with simple and complex climate models to
investigate the physical pathways for influences of the troposphere on
the stratospheric vortex and its subsequent consequences at the surface.
The position commences in August 2016. The application deadline is
February 21st 2016, and will be extended until the position is filled.
Contact Prof. Thomas Reichler <thomas.reichler@utah.edu> for further
information.

or a related discipline within the last three years, and possess strong
modeling and analysis skills. The expected start date is 1 September
2016, although an earlier date is possible. The initial appointment is
for 1 year, renewable for a second year depending on performance and the
availability of funds.
Review of applications will begin on 15 February 2016. All interested
applicants should submit a complete CV and contact information for three
references to Dr. Edward K. Vizy (<ned@jsg.utexas.edu>). For more
information, please contact Dr. Vizy (<ned@jsg.utexas.edu>) or Professor
