Research Fellow in Convection-permitting simulations of East Asian climate. The dynamics of high-impact weather over East Asia
Fixed term for 20 months
Starting as soon as possible or at the latest 1 July 2016
Job sharing arrangements can be considered
We seek an ambitious scientist with interests in atmospheric dynamics and rainfall, to study the physical processes controlling high-impact weather over China. You will use observations and kilometre-scale numerical model simulations with the Met Office Unified Model (MetUM) to build a conceptual model of the East Asian monsoon and to quantitatively assess the precursors and physical processes leading to extreme rainfall events in China. In addition, you will assess how the urban heat island effect impacts regional climate, including the initiation of new convective storms. You will evaluate what is gained through the use of kilometre-scale (convection-permitting) simulations compared to global model simulations with a lower horizontal resolution in relation to the representation of the East Asian monsoon system and HIW scenarios. This position is part of the Climate Science for Service Partnership China (CSSP China) project and you will work closely with project partners at the Met Office, University of Reading and in China.
You will be expected to contribute to the ongoing research in atmospheric science in the School. Your work will lead to significant publications in atmospheric and climate science and you will also present your research at project meetings and national and international conferences. You will communicate outcomes of the research to relevant stakeholders outside academia.
You must have a PhD (or be close to obtaining) in a quantitative physical science, such as Physics, Applied Mathematics or Meteorology, and experience of the use of large observational and/or numerical model datasets. You should be willing to collaborate actively with partners in Europe and China. You will be used to programming on a Unix/Linux operating system and have excellent communication skills.
The University of Leeds' commitment to women in science has been recognised with a national accolade. The University has received the Athena Swan Bronze Award in recognition of our success in recruiting, retaining and promoting women in Science, Engineering and Technology (SET). The Faculty of Environment are in the process of preparing an application for an Athena Swan award to recognise our commitment and work in these areas.

Maynooth University is seeking a tenured appointment at the Professor
level in Earth Observation / Remote Sensing. Applications are invited
through April 10th and the appointment is expected to commence in
September 2016.
The appointment shall be in the School of Geography and shall interact
with both the Irish Climate Analysis and Research Units and the National
Centre for Geocomputation. The appointee shall be expected to further
strengthen our activities in the areas of Earth Observation, climate
research and geocomputation. Current employees variously head EO H2020
projects, sit as national representatives on ESA and Copernicus panels,
co-chair the GCOS Reference Upper Air Network, and contribute to
assessment activities such as IPCC. We run a highly successful masters
program in GIS and Remote Sensing.
Maynooth is situated 25Km west of Dublin with easy access to both Dublin
and Dublin airport as well as the Wicklow mountains, the coast and many
areas of natural beauty.
The successful candidate will be expected to be competetive for the
Science Foundation Ireland Research Professor funding scheme, which
would provide funding of up to 5 million euros over a five year period
to set up a group working in a research area of their choosing were they
successful.
Further details on the appointment and application materials can be
found at

The Computational Earth Science Group in the Earth and Environmental
Sciences (EES) Division at Los Alamos National Laboratory has an
immediate opening for a creative and resourceful postdoc candidate with
a substantial knowledge of regional surface hydrology, particularly in
conjunction with climate change impacts, extreme events, and
climate-driven disturbances (such as vegetation stress/mortality,
wildfire, and infestation). The candidate will work as part of a
multi-disciplinary team conducting research in Critical Watersheds,
watersheds that are vulnerable to climate change while serving a
critical function for society. Successful applicants will have
hydrologic modeling and analytical science expertise in one (or more) of
three core areas of the project:
·Modeling hydrological systems with the goal of understanding the
interaction and feedbacks between climate and key physical processes
driving hydrologic/ecohydrologic systems at the regional scale.
·Impact of climate change on terrestrial hydro-ecology, including
drought-induced forest mortality and other disruptive events that
influence streamflow responses.
·Statistical approaches to analyzing extreme events with a focus on
climate and hydrological extremes such as drought and intense
precipitation events.
For more information and to apply, please visit the job link at:

<mailto:rsm@lanl.gov>. In addition to applying on-line, please send a
résumé and a short statement (not to exceed one page) including a short
biography (2-3 lines), research interests, and future career goals to
Richard Middleton by March 25th, 2016.
