MS graduate assistantship in physical oceanography and climate dynamics
The Department of Physical and Environmental Sciences at Texas A&M UniversityCorpus
Christi is inviting applications for a fully-funded MS student. The successful
applicant will work on a research project related to tropical and subtropical ocean
processes, air-sea interaction, climate dynamics, or tropical meteorology. A specific
research topic will be selected based on the student's interest.
Applicants should have a BS degree in Oceanography, Atmospheric Sciences, Physics,
Mathematics, Computer Sciences, or relevant fields. Strong physics and math
background is desirable. Qualified applicants should contact Dr. Toshi Shinoda
(tshinoda@tamucc.edu). More information about the Department of Physical and
Environmental Sciences, and MS programs can be found at http://pens.tamucc.edu/.
Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi is a rapidly growing research university, located
on the beautiful coast of the Gulf of Mexico.

Postdoctoral Scientist – Modeling Mesoscale Organized Convection and
its Response to Global Warming
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) is recruiting a
postdoctoral scientist to conduct innovative research in climate
modeling regarding mesoscale organized convection and its response to
global warming.
Mesoscale organized convection is a major cause of flooding in many
regions worldwide. Representing organized convection has been one of the
foremost challenges in climate modeling, which limits our ability to
simulate the water cycle and its future changes. The selected candidate
will work with a team of PNNL scientists on advancing modeling and
understanding of mesoscale organized convection. In particular, the
candidate will evaluate a non-hydrostatic global variable resolution
modeling framework at spatial resolution ranging from about 4km to 50km
for its ability to simulate organized convection and related processes.
Combining with data analysis, the model will be used to study and
contrast the different convection types and the role of land-atmosphere
interactions on convection in the U.S. Great Plains and the Amazon. The
model will also be used to investigate how the structure of mesoscale
organized convection and the associated extreme precipitation may change
in a warmer climate. These efforts are part of a larger project aiming
at understanding how large-scale circulation features modulate regional
precipitation, what controls mesoscale organized convection and the
associated precipitation, and the multiscale connections between
atmospheric circulation and water cycle processes, all in the context of
the changing climate.
The position is for two years and renewable contingent upon performance.
The successful candidates should have a Ph.D. degree in atmospheric
sciences or related fields. Expertise in using data and models to study
convection or related processes such as clouds, boundary layer
turbulence, and land-atmosphere interactions as well as experience with
modeling and high performance computing will be considered favorably
during the evaluation. Applications should include:
·Cover letter describing the applicant's research experience and interests.
·Curriculum vitae with a list of publications in refereed journals.
·Names and addresses of three references.
Interested candidates may send further inquiries to Ruby Leung
(<Ruby.Leung@pnnl.gov>).

MSc(Res) in Polar and Alpine Change, 2016-17
Department of Geography, University of Sheffield, UK
I write with information about this 1-year Masters of Research
(MSc(Res)) course offered by our university, which may interest
applicants looking for study with a heavy research element within the
broad subject area of cold-regions science, e.g. in glaciology, glacial
geomorphology, polar climatology and environmental science.
The programme targets those wishing to gain research experience and
skills before progressing to a PhD, and is founded on the expertise of
the group of Ice and Climate Researchers in my department. Training is
delivered via a major Research Project that the student carries out with
regular supervision. Another key feature of the programme is a
Field-Course module visiting Svalbard, Norway for 4-5 weeks in the summer.
We invite applicants who perform at least at good Upper-Second Class
undergraduate level (and show First Class potential) from a UK
University or at an international equivalent, in subjects such as
Physical Geography, Environmental / Earth / Ocean Sciences, Geology,
Physics, and Natural Science. Applicants are asked to show evidence of
engagement with and/or aptitude in geoscientific research.
Many of our graduates from the former MSc version of the course moved on
successfully to PhD studies in glaciology, climate science,
biogeochemistry and planetary science.
Our next Open Day is on Thursday 12th May 2016. The application round
for 2016/17 entry is open. Details of the course and application
procedure can be found at:
<https://www.sheffield.ac.uk/geography/masters/polarandalpinechange>
Please email geo-apply@sheffield.ac.uk
<mailto:geo-apply@sheffield.ac.uk> if you wish to attend the Open Day or
know more information.
Best wishes,
Felix Ng
Director of MSc(Res) in Polar and Alpine Change
