The Swiss Federal Office for Meteorology and Climatology MeteoSwiss
(<www.meteoswiss.ch>) is the Swiss National Weather Service. We record,
monitor and forecast weather and climate in Switzerland and thus make a
sustainable contribution to the well-being of the community and to the
benefit of industry, science and the environment. The Climate Department
carries out statistical analyses of observed and modelled climate data
and is responsible for providing the results for users and customers.
Within the team Climate Monitoring we currently have a job opening for
the following post:
Research position in the development project CLIMANDES-2 on
climate services for agriculture, 80%
CLIMANDES (climate services with emphasis on the Andes as a support for
decision making) is a development project of Switzerland and Peru on the
topic of climate services. Key aspects of the project are monitoring and
seasonal predictions of precipitation and droughts in the Andes with the
goal of providing tailored climate information for agriculture.
As part of the international project team you will work on
post-processing, tailoring, and verification of seasonal forecasts. You
will calculate climate indicators that are relevant for the specific
needs of agriculture and implement them for monitoring forecasting. In
these tasks you will closely cooperate with project members of
MeteoSwiss and the Peruvian national weather service (SENAMHI). You will
also support SENAMHI's quality control of climate observations and will
be involved in educational activities on climate services in Peru.
As a candidate for this post, you have a university degree in natural
sciences and ideally a doctorate in the field of climatology,
meteorology, geography, statistics or environmental sciences. You are
experienced in statistical analyses of very large and complex data sets
and in the handling of climate model data. You are familiar with Linux,
capable of programming in "R" and other computing languages. A flair for
practical and application-oriented solutions is required for this
position and experience in development projects, agrometeorology, or
climate analyses in South America are beneficial.
We expect you to spend several weeks at our project partner's office in
Peru, therefore excellent skills in both spoken and written Spanish are
essential. In addition, a good knowledge of English is required and
experience in two of the official languages (German, French, Italian)
are beneficial.
We are looking for a motivated person who has good communication skills
and enjoys working in a team. We offer varied and interesting activities
in a modern company and a diverse working environment at the interface
between research and application.
Our office is located at Zurich Airport. The post is limited to two years.
Please submit your application online via the federal government jobs
portal: www.stelle.admin.ch
Review of applications will start on 10 March and continue until the
position is filled.
Further information can be obtained from Dr. Cornelia Schwierz, Head
Climate Monitoring,

The Northern Illinois University Department of Geography invites
applications for an anticipated Visiting Assistant Professor position.
Ph.D. required at time of appointment. We seek a broadly trained
atmospheric scientist with a background in synoptic
meteorology/climatology. The successful candidate will contribute to the
undergraduate meteorology program and have opportunity to teach a
seminar in own specialty. Multidisciplinary interests in geography,
environmental studies, Southeast Asian studies, or Latin American
studies especially welcome. Appointment will be for the 2016-2017
academic year. <http://www.niu.edu/geog>.
Review of applications will begin on April 13, 2016. Preference will be
given to applications received prior to that date; however applications
will continue to be accepted and reviewed until the position is filled.
Submit a letter of application; a curriculum vita; available evidence of
teaching experience and teaching quality; publications or examples of
writing; and arrange to have at least three letters of reference sent
to: VAP-Met Search in care of <dsibley@niu.edu>.
In compliance with the Illinois Campus Security Act, before an offer of
employment is made, the university will conduct a pre-employment

Please note the change in the closing date.
===========================================================================
Postdoctoral fellow in atmospheric modeling with a focus on bio-aerosols and clouds
Department of Physical Geography and Ecosystem Science, Lund University. Closing date: 31 March 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 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) 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.
