Subject: [Met-jobs] Open PhD position on aeolian soil erosion in
Bordeaux (France)
Message-ID: <56E16928.8030706@bordeaux.inra.fr>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"; Format="flowed"
A PhD position is open at the ISPA
<https://www6.bordeaux-aquitaine.inra.fr/ispa> laboratory in Bordeaux
(France) on aeolian soil erosion in presence of vegetation in the
framework of the WIND-O-V <http://www6.inra.fr/anr-windov> project.
*Context – objectives - method*
Soil erosion by wind, including saltation and dust suspension, has many
environmental and climatic implications. At global scale, mineral dust
represents 32% of annual natural emission of aerosols in the atmosphere,
impacting the Earth radiative budget and biogeochemical cycles. At local
scale, wind-blown sand damages agricultural areas through abrasion,
burial/uprooting, and wind-blown dust impoverishes soil in organic
matters and nutrients. In semi-arid regions, fertility loss of soil due
to wind erosion should be modified in the future by the combined effect
of climate change and increasing human activities.
Dust emission schemes present in climate models to predict dust cycle
and their local to global impacts, give different predictions from one
to the other due to their poor representation of near-surface winds and
vegetation. To overcome these limitations, this PhD project attempts to
develop a new generation of wind erosion schemes for large-scale models,
predicting the amount and size of emitted dust from bare and sparse
vegetated surfaces.
To that purpose, the PhD student will rely on an original modelling
approach of wind erosion over vegetated surfaces, based on a high
resolution of the wind-particle-surface interaction. Associated with
field measurement in Tunisia, this innovative modelling exercise will
enable (1) to quantify soil erosion and soil fertility loss following
vegetation and soil characteristics and wind conditions, (2) to develop
new emission schemes for large-scale models, and (3) to deduce optimal
crop organizations for sustainable soil management.
This PhD lies in the more general context of the WIND-O-V project
(Aeolian erosion in presence of sparse vegetation) funded by the French
National Research Agency (ANR) and coordinated by S. Dupont (2016-2019).
The novelties of this PhD are (1) to cover the whole erosion process,
including saltation, dust suspension, on bare and vegetated surfaces,
(2) to combine modelling and field measurements, (3) to use
state-of-the-art models coupling an instantaneous representation of the
wind (Large-Eddy Simulation approach) and a complete model of soil
erosion, covering particle size from micron to an hundred of microns in
diameter, and (3) to use a novel method to measure dust flux per size
class, based on the eddy-covariance approach, in order to validate the
model. This PhD will be done in interaction with WIND-O-V's partners who
have a unique expertise on geophysics, sedimentology, and theoretical
and environmental fluid mechanics.
*Expected profile
*- Master or engineer in fluid mechanics, atmospheric physics, or
geophysics with an interest in modelling
- Good experience in programming under Linux environment
- Excellent writing skills, fluent in English
- Rigorous, autonomous, creative and motivated by working in a
research environment
*Supervision and working conditions*
The PhD student will be co-supervised by Sylvain Dupont (Research
Director at INRA) and Eric Lamaud (Research Fellow at INRA) and will be
integrated within the Environmental Mechanics team of the ISPA lab and
within the lab consortium of the WIND-O-V project. The student will
benefit from the scientific and methodology experience of the team and
consortium. He (or she) will have access to the ISPA's computational
resources and to the ADA cluster of IDRIS. Finally, he (or she) will
benefit from the national and international collaborations established
by the team and consortium.
The PhD student will be based at the Interactions Sol-Plant-Atmosphere
(ISPA) lab in Bordeaux. This lab offers an excellent scientific
environment; it is member of the Labex COTE
<http://cote.labex.u-bordeaux.fr/en/> and Idex
<http://idex.u-bordeaux.fr/> of Bordeaux University. The lab is located
at INRA campus, within a few minutes from downtown Bordeaux. The PhD
student is also expected to participate to field experiments in Tunisia.
The PhD student will be registered at the "Sciences and Environment
<https://ed-environnements.u-bordeaux.fr/>" doctoral school of the
University of Bordeaux.
The PhD student will be offered a three years contract with INRA. The
gross salary will be 1750 € (including social security for illness,
maternity and unemployment, as well as financial help for public
transportation and canteen). The PhD is expected to start by Fall 2016.
*How to apply?*
Any Master student interested in this project is required to send
his/her CV and a motivation letter to Sylvain Dupont (sylvain.dupont at
bordeaux.inra.fr) before July 1st 2016.

Dear colleagues,
We kindly ask you to pass along this advertisement to students and postdocs
that may be interested.
The LabexMER (Brest, France) offers a post-doctoral program that allows
young scientists to propose their own research project in marine
sciences (within the LabexMER research axes) and carry them out in one
or several LabexMER laboratories. The postdoctoral appointment is for a
period of two years. Additional support is available for travel
expenses, equipment, and supplies. Work contract will include national
health and dental insurance, as well as retirement and unemployment
benefits.
Of particular interest is the Axis 1 of the LabexMER, labelled "The
Ocean Engine at Very High Resolution", which gathers scientific experts
in the observation (remote and in situ), the numerical modeling and
theoretical understanding of a wide range of processes:
mesoscale/submesoscale turbulence, internal gravity waves, surface
gravity waves, air sea interactions, and, biophysical interactions.
Recent work has in particular higlighted a new vision that emphasizes
the important impact of submesoscales on the large-scale ocean dynamics.
The LabexMer has contributed much to this vision and is now searching
for candidates that will significantly contribute to the above-listed
thematics
or complementing ones.
The scientific environment in the LabexMer is highly dynamical and
collaborative with most scientists being involved in cutting edge
international scientific missions (SWOT, Sentinel missions, ...)
requiring a gathering of expertise about the processes just listed and
their interactions.
More information about the modalities of application can be found here:

Research Fellow in Air Pollution / Atmospheric Science
University of Birmingham
Sources and Emissions of Air Pollutants in Beijing (AIRPOLL-Beijing)
Beijing is one of the world's most polluted cities and research to elucidate the causes and effects of its air pollution problems is a very high priority. Consequently, the Natural Environment Research Council has funded a suite of projects under the heading of "Atmospheric Pollution and Human Health in a Chinese Megacity" with a view to generating both a better understanding of the air pollution phenomena in Beijing and the options for mitigation. The University of Birmingham is playing a major role in this research and leads a project on "Sources and Emissions of Air Pollutants in Beijing (AIRPOLL-Beijing)" which will support a range of measurement and modelling activities conducted by UK research groups in collaboration with Chinese partner institutions.
Applications are invited for a 30 month Postdoctoral Research Fellow post to participate in measurement campaigns in Beijing and to carry out chemical analyses of a wide range of constituents of airborne particulate matter for subsequent use in receptor models. These studies will interface with other groups carrying out parallel air quality measurements, studies of air pollutant fluxes and development and application of numerical air quality models. Applicants should have a first degree in a science discipline and relevant postgraduate research experience, preferably involving trace chemical analysis. The postholder will join a very active team in atmospheric science at the University of Birmingham and will collaborate with leading UK and Chinese researchers within this field.
Informal enquiries should be directed to Professor Roy Harrison (r.m.harrison@bham.ac.uk).
