Postdoctoral position in coupled ocean-ice-atmosphere modeling and data
assimilation
The Earth System Sciences Interdisciplinary Center (ESSIC), at the
University of Maryland College Park(UMD), in conjunction with the NASA
Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), is seeking a postdoctoral fellow to
work on coupled ocean-ice-atmosphere modeling and data assimilation (DA)
in the context of decadal climate variability. The position is to be
filled as soon as possible, and the postdoctoral fellow will be based at
NASA GSFC. The initial appointment is for one year with possible
extension for an additional two years.
Responsibilities:
The successful candidate will work in a multi-institution team,
comprising researchers at UMD, GSFC, MIT, JPL, and UT Austin. The
project involves developing and analysing a novel prototype,
property-conserving, ocean-ice-atmosphere model and DA system based on
the "replay'' capability of the Goddard Earth Observing System Model,
Version 5 (GEOS-5) in conjunction with the adjoint-model capabilities of
the Massachusetts Institute of Technology general circulation model
(MITgcm). The resulting DA system and inferred solution will be used to
study recent Arctic or Antarctic sea ice changes and their relation to
the coupled ocean-atmosphere system. The initial period of scientific
interest cover the satellite altimetric record (1992 to present).
Required qualification:
Candidates should have a recent Ph.D. in Physical Oceanography,
Atmospheric Sciences, Climate Dynamics, Electrical Engineering, Physics,
or related field, with a strong interest in Earth System observations,
models, and science questions. Experience in numerical modeling
(especially with GEOS-5 or MITgcm) and observational data analysis is
highly desirable. Familiarity with supercomputing environments and
related programming languages (in particular Linux and Fortran), as well
as analysis tools (Matlab or Python) are essential. Written and oral
communication skills sufficient to lead manuscripts and present research
at conferences are also desirable.
Applicants should send an email of interest and the following documents
to Andrea Molod at <andrea.molod@nasa.gov> or to Dimitris Menemenlis at
<dmenemenlis@gmail.com>:
* current CV and list of publications;
* name and contact information of three individual who can provide
letters of reference

Two postdoctoral fellowships at the intersection of climate and human
health research are now open for applications. These unique positions
are jointly administered by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) and the National Center for Atmospheric Research
(NCAR). Early-career scientists with a Ph.D. degree in statistics,
epidemiology, atmospheric and environmental sciences, climatology,
medical geography, ecology or related disciplines are encouraged to
apply. Additional details on each position follow. Applications
received on or before May 15, 2016 will receive highest priority.
---- Fellowship #1----------
Joint CDC-NCAR Postdoctoral Fellow in Environmental Health Research
Job Number 16338
This is a full-time, 2-year term position. This fellow will spend one
year at NCAR and one year at CDC in Atlanta, GA.
The fellow hired for this position will conduct research on current
and future health risks. The fellow will collaborate with CDC's
National Center for Environmental Health (NCEH) in Atlanta, GA. The
fellow will acquire specific training in atmospheric and climate
research following NCAR's established advanced study postdoctoral
training program (ASP), as well as training in public health at CDC.
The goal is to increase the number of scientists with the appropriate
experience and training to conduct research in the emerging field of
weather, climate, and health.
The position, in collaboration with CDC NCEH on environmental health,
will focus on research that will include one or more of the following
topics:
--Analysis of current and future atmospheric conditions and air quality
--Analysis of demographic and housing characteristics as they relate
to population exposure, sensitivity and adaptive capacity to extreme
heat and ozone
--Development and application of statistical methods to model the
combined effect of air pollution, climate, building characteristics,
--and social vulnerability on relative risk of mortality and morbidity
among older urban populations
The postdoctoral fellow will work closely with scientists and other
professionals at CDC, NCAR, universities, and public health agencies
undertaking research on weather, climate and human health. The fellow
will be expected to submit the results of the research to
peer-reviewed journals and present research at scientific meetings.

------Fellowship #2----------
Job Number 16339
Joint CDC-NCAR Postdoctoral Fellow in Vector-borne Disease Research
This is a full-time, 2-year term position. This fellow will divide
his/her time between Fort Collins, CO and Boulder, CO
The fellow hired for this position will conduct research on current
and future health risks. The fellow will collaborate with the CDC's
Division of Vector-Borne Diseases (DVBD) in Fort Collins, CO. The
fellow will acquire specific training in atmospheric and climate
research following NCAR's established advanced study postdoctoral
training program (ASP), as well as training in public health at CDC.
The goal is to increase the number of scientists with the appropriate
experience and training to conduct research in the emerging field of
weather, climate and health.
In this position, in collaboration with CDC's DVBD, the fellow will
focus on research that will include development of spatially- and
temporally-explicit models to predict the risk of vector-borne
diseases such as human plague, Lyme disease, tularemia, dengue,
chikungunya, Zika, and West Nile viruses. The population dynamics of
disease vectors (e.g., fleas, mosquitoes, ticks) are linked to many
factors, among them climatic variables such as temperature, humidity
and precipitation; therefore, the position will focus on the
ecological and disease expertise necessary to develop and employ
useful disease risk models for present and future (i.e., predictive)
conditions.
The postdoctoral fellow will work closely with scientists and other
professionals at CDC, NCAR, universities, and public health agencies
undertaking research on weather, climate and human health. The fellow
will be expected to submit the results of the research to
peer-reviewed journals and present research at scientific meetings.

UNIVERSITÄT HOHENHEIM
INSTITUTE OF PHYSICS AND METEOROLOGY
The Chair of Physics and Meteorology
Postdoc (TV L E13) position for 25 months available at the
Institute of Physics and Meteorology (IPM), University of Hohenheim,
Stuttgart, Germany
in a project with the objective to investigate and quantify feedback processes between the
atmosphere and the soil-vegetation system in a changing climate. In this project a coupled
atmosphere-land surface-crop model is applied over Central Europe with convection-permitting
resolution. It is expected that at this scale land surface atmosphere feedback
over heterogeneous and agricultural landscapes will be better represented and their coupling
to clouds and precipitation will be more realistic as the parameterisation of deep convection
can be avoided. This will be proven by detailed model verification including scores
for extreme value statistics of temperature and precipitation.
The successful candidate will apply the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model
at very high resolution as part of the integrated land system model system, which is developed
within the project. The objective is to analyze the results with respect to land-atmosphere
interaction in agricultural landscapes and to the effects of land surface heterogeneity
using new model diagnostics.
