*_Availble positions_**: 12, **including 9 full-time scholarships*
*
Objectives of the PhD *
The main objectives of this PhD Programme are to provide the job market
with experts with a broad, in-depth, scientific and socio-economic
background, as well as with a sound and innovative research experience
focusing on the dynamics of climate change, the design and execution of
numerical and mathematical models of the climate and the economy, the
methodologies and techniques for evaluation, management and assessment,
in terms of mitigation and adaptation measures and policies.
Students gain in-depth understanding of climate processes and their
interactions, ranging from the molecular to the global scale and from
short-term phenomena to changes over millions of years. They will be
prepared to understand the impacts of current changes in climate as well
as the mitigation and adaptation policies put in place.
All this gives to outstanding young scientists a deep scientific
knowledge and personal skills to take leadership roles in academia, in
consulting firms, as well as in the energy and insurance sectors, in
public administration positions and in the private sector.
Our final goal is to provide the people, products, policy and leadership
to confront the challenge of climate change at a global scale, creating
new opportunities for innovators to shape the world's next economy
*Organisation of the PhD Programme*
The Programme is organised in two Streams:
·Dynamic climatology, at CMCC in Bologna
·Climate change impact and management, at the Department of Economics of
the University Ca' Foscari in Venice
The programme, taught in English, lasts for three years.
Twelve courses are planned for the first academic year, in order to
provide students with the state of the art of the scientific findings
related to the two disciplinary streams.
Courses details available at the web page http://www.unive.it/data/7886/
Common activities offers tools to build a sound scientific, managerial
and economic base for the general comprehension of the broader theme of
climate change, with the opportunity for in depth studies of specific
issues and for experiencing a multidisciplinary approach.
The second year is aimed at providing the PhD candidates with an
experience of research in a foreign institution, while the third year is
mainly devoted to the preparation of the thesis which will be externally
reviewed by international referees.
Please forward to anyone who may be interested. Apologies for cross posting.

SUBJECT: PhD Student position at the Soil Science of tropical and subtropical Ecosystems, University of Goettingen, Germany
The Collaborative Research Centre 990 / CRC 990 (http://www.uni-goettingen.de/efforts) at the Georg-August-Universität Göttingen is offering the position of a
Doctoral researcher (soil trace gas fluxes)
in the Sub-Project A05 (Soil trace gas fluxes in rainforest transformation systems) at the Büsgen Institute - Soil Science of Tropical and Subtropical Ecosystems.
The position will be limited to 3 years and starts on July 1, 2016. Salary: this is in accordance with the German Public Service salary scale (TV-L E13) with 65%, which corresponds to 25.87 working hours per week.
Your duties
The project will 1) quantify soil trace gas fluxes (N2O, CO2, CH4) from a large-scale oil palm plantation as part of an on-going ecosystem level budget of trace gases; 2) measure inter-annual and landscape-scale variability in soil trace gas fluxes with the inclusion of riparian areas on lowland landscapes that encompass rainforest transformations to jungle rubber, rubber plantation and oil palm plantations ; 3) determine soil regulatory factors and quantify their relationships with soil trace gas fluxes; and 4) assess the contribution of denitrification and nitrification to soil N2O emissions using 15N tracing techniques. Specific responsibilities include: a) for all 36 core sites, whole-year monthly measurements of soil N2O, CH4 and CO2 fluxes and soil factors known to control soil-atmosphere trace gas exchange, using chamber methods and gas chromatography, b) at a large-scale oil palm plantation, continue the on-going, intensive measurements of soil trace gas fluxes to quantify the contribution of soil fluxes to total ecosystem CO2, N2O and CH4 exchange, c) organize, instruct and coordinate the field assistants, student assistants and lab technicians for the field measurements, in-situ extraction of soil mineral nitrogen and soil extract preparation for laboratory analyses of N concentrations and 15N, d) data analyses, writing publications, presentations in international conferences, completion of PhD thesis with peer-reviewed international publication(s), and other requirements for a PhD degree.
Your profile
· Completed Master's degree in (geo)ecology, soil science, agriculture, forestry or biology
· Research focus on soil trace gas fluxes; ecosystem nutrient fluxes and dynamics
· Proficiency in English
· Willingness to collaborate with other researchers of the CRC
· Ability to work under field conditions in the tropics for an intermittent period of 18 months
The project will be based in Göttingen, but field work will be conducted in Indonesia.

NSERC Visiting Fellowship in terrestrial nitrogen cycle modelling
The Canadian Centre for Climate Modelling and Analysis (CCCma, www.cccma.ec.gc.ca<http://www.cccma.ec.gc.ca>), part of Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC), is seeking a post-doctoral fellow to develop and implement a nitrogen (N) cycle in the land surface component (CLASS-CTEM) of the Canadian Earth System Model (CanESM). Implementation of the N cycle in the CLASS-CTEM framework will allow it to interactively model: 1) the constraint placed by N limitation on photosynthesis, 2) the response of natural terrestrial ecosystems to N deposition and the response of crop systems to fertilizer input, and 3) the atmosphere-land exchange of N2O (a greenhouse gas) and NOx (NO + NO2). The concentration of NOx in the atmosphere is the dominant control on the photochemical production of ozone throughout most of the troposphere, with ozone destruction occurring at low concentrations of NOx and ozone production at higher concentrations. This work is key to the development of a more realistic representation of carbon cycle feedbacks and tropospheric chemistry in this leading earth system model.
The position will be based in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada on the campus of the University of Victoria and is expected to start sometime during Summer 2016. The position is open to Canadian and international applicants who have received their doctoral degrees since June 2011 in a relevant discipline. Relevant earth system modelling experience is desirable. The hiring will be administered by the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC, www.nserc.ca) under their Visiting Fellowship (VF) in Canadian Government Laboratories programme. The NSERC Visiting Fellowship is currently valued at CDN $50,503 per year or higher, based on relevant professional experience. The position is available for one year initially but is renewable for up to two more years.
Interested candidates are requested to contact Vivek Arora (vivek.arora@canada.ca) and David Plummer (david.plummer@canada.ca) with a one page cover letter and a copy of their Curriculum Vitae before 30 April, 2016. The short-listed candidates will then be required to formally apply through the NSERC's online system as well as be available for a phone or an in-person interview. The NSERC's online system requires the name of the Canadian government laboratory where the VF will be based (in this case the CCCma) and the name of the potential supervisor(s) (in this case, Vivek Arora and/or David Plummer). Please see NSERC's web site (http://www.nserc-crsng.gc.ca/Students-Etudiants/PD-NP/Laboratories-Laboratoires/index_eng.asp) for more details on eligibility requirements and the application process. Chosen applicant(s) who are approved by NSERC as well as who successfully interview will then be contacted to confirm their acceptance of the fellowship offer.
