The Coastal Research group at ICBM (Institute for Chemistry and Biology of the Marine Environment), Carl von Ossietzky University Oldenburg, offers a
3-year PhD-position in Shelf Sea Modelling
(E13 TV-L/75%)
within an interdisciplinary consortium of physical oceanographers, geoecologists and environmental planers working in the project "Macroplastics pollution in the southern North Sea - Sources, pathways and abatement strategies" financed by the Ministry for Science and Culture of Lower Saxony.
Marine pollution with plastics is a growing global problem which already shows devastating effects on marine ecosystems and the general health of the coastal and marine environment. This project will provide a sound scientific basis for the understanding of current and future pattern of macroplastics in the North-Sea and along its coasts, whilst better identifying polluters and provide solutions to possible abatement strategies. As part of this project, within the group of Coastal Research numerical simulations with the ocean circulation model (NEMO) will be used to analyze pathways of marine debris in the North Sea. A strong emphasis will be laid on hindcast simulations, hydrodynamic analysis and scenario simulations. Forward and backward tracking and inverse modelling will be used to develop strategies to combat marine litter pollution.
We are looking for a candidate holding an academic university degree (Master (M.Sc.) or diploma) in physics, mathematics or physical oceanography. Experience in ocean circulation modelling using state-of-the-art ocean models is mandatory. Additionally, the candidate should have a strong expertise in programming languages, like FORTRAN and MATLAB, Linux operating systems and parallel cluster environments. The position offers the opportunity to participate in the Oldenburg Graduate school "OlTech".
In order to increase the percentage of female staff members, female applicants are to be preferentially considered in case of equal qualification. People with disabilities will be given preference if equally qualified.
Please send your application including a cover letter, copies of your certificates and a CV as a single pdf-file not exceeding 10 MByte preferably via e-mail to Prof. Dr. Emil Stanev (<mailto:emil.v.stanev@uni-oldenburg.de>emil.v.stanev@uni-oldenburg.de<mailto:emil.v.stanev@uni-oldenburg.de>) (Prof. Dr. Emil Stanev, Carl von Ossietzky Universität Oldenburg, ICBM, Postfach 2503, 26111 Oldenburg). All applications must be submitted by February 20th 2016. Our ideal starting date would be April 1st 2016.

Subject: [Met-jobs] Postdoctoral position in modeling bio-aerosols and
clouds, Lund
Message-ID:

Postdoctoral fellow in atmospheric modeling with a focus on bio-aerosols and clouds
Department of Physical Geography and Ecosystem Science, Lund University. Closing date: 24 February 2016.
Work description:
The work will involve numerical modelling and laboratory observations:
* Samples of bio-aerosols from Brazil will be analysed in our laboratories with microbiological and molecular-biological techniques.
* Our cloud models will be improved so as to resolve the ice-nucleus (IN) and cloud-condensation nucleus (CCN) activity of each type of PBAPs.
* Individual clouds will be simulated by our aerosol-cloud models, with analysis of the effects from the various types of PBAPs.
* Amazonian mesoscale convective systems will be studied in the same way.
Qualifications:
Scientists with a strong background in numerical modeling, with knowledge of mesoscale meteorology, are encouraged to apply. Candidates must have a BSc degree in Physics or Biology, in addition to the PhD degree in Meteorology.
Candidates must have experience with programming languages in a UNIX environment, such as FORTRAN or C.
Additionally, candidates must have examined proficiency, preferably from their university education, in:- (1) biology and laboratory experimentation; (2) mathematics, especially calculus; (3) numerical methods and/or computer programming; and (4) physical meteorology (e.g. cloud physics).
Experience would be advantageous in optical or electron microscopy. Examined proficiency in microbiology would be advantageous.
In their applications, candidates should provide evidence for how they meet these requirements.
This position is a qualifying appointment focused on research, with intention to be an initial career step.
Lund University welcomes applicants with diverse backgrounds and experiences. We regard gender equality and diversity as a strength and an asset.
