We offer a job with challenging tasks within arctic hydrology at Asiaq,
Greenland Survey. You will assess water resources for hydro power and
water supply, as well as develop the knowledge about arctic hydrology
through research projects with international partners. The tasks include
collection and quality check of hydrological data, data analysis,
modelling and dissemination of results.
You will develop and expand our projects within hydrology in
collaboration with Asiaq's graduates and technicians and with our
external customers and collaborators. You will be part of the Hydrology
and Climate group which currently includes nine dedicated colleagues.
The job is based in Nuuk, the Capital of Greenland, but during the
summer the job will include field work all around Greenland. You have a
good health and are ready to stay in a tent in the wilderness for
shorter periods of time.
We offer a unique job in an inspiring professional team with the
exceptional and challenging Greenlandic environment as study area.

preferably in the Arctic. You have knowledge and experience with ground
based measurements as well as data handling and analysis. Experience
with the WISKI database, modelling and GIS will be an advantage.
You are resourceful and ready to tackle problems that are new to you.
Your spoken and written English is excellent. Knowledge of Danish
language is an advantage. You work well in a team of people from
different cultures.
Employment will be in accordance with the collective agreement between

Dear colleagues,
the new German BMBF research programme "Urban Climate under Change
(Stadtklima im Wandel)", which will start in June 2016, aims at
development of an innovative urban climate model for entire cities like
Stuttgart or Berlin that is able to resolve buildings and vegetation at
spatial resolutions of 10 x 10 m² and finer, thus to simulate
micro-scale atmospheric processes at sufficient accuracy. Therefore,
comprehensive observational data on weather, climate and air quality
will be acquired for three German cities (Berlin, Hamburg, Stuttgart) to
validate the model. The BMBF research programme intends to involve
selected user groups in model development and data acquisition for
testing the new urban climate model and data acquisition concept and
analysis tools with respect to their usability for a number of potential
practical applications.
Two full-time postdoc positions will be available at the Technische
Universität Berlin starting from June 1, 2016. Excellent German language
skills are essentially required for both positions!
The first postdoc shall support Dieter Scherer (Chair of Climatology) in
his scientific and administrative tasks as coordinator of the entire
BMBF research programme. The contract will end on May 31, 2019, and may
be renewed for a second period of three years depending on additional
funding.
The second postdoc shall contribute to collaborative research on urban
climate and air quality in Berlin involving both the Technische
Universität Berlin and the Senate Department of Urban Development and
Environment Berlin. The contract will end on November 30, 2017.
If you are interested in one of the positions, please check the website
<http://www.personalabteilung.tu-berlin.de/menue/jobs/stellenausschreibungen/>
where the job offers will be published soon.
Best regards
Dieter Scherer

The Bioclimatology group (<http://www.uni-goettingen.de/bioclimatology>)
at the Georg-August-Universität Göttingen is offering positions of
1 Postdoctoral researcher
1 Ph.D. student
in the project OXYFLUX - Oxygen flux measurements as a new tracer for
the carbon and nitrogen cycles in terrestrial ecosystems funded by the
European Research Council (ERC).
The positions are limited by three years and should be filled for 1st
July 2016. The salary is in accordance with the German public service
salary scale (TV-L E13) with 100% (postdoc), which corresponds to 39.8
working hours per week and 65% (Ph.D. student), which corresponds to
25.9 working hours per week.
Your duties
OXYFLUX will investigate various aspects of oxygen exchange processes
between the land surface and the atmosphere ranging from local to global
scale. Tasks include data analysis and interpretation, presentation of
results nationally and internationally, publishing in peer-reviewed
journals.
Postdoc: Tasks include development, test and application of field
deployable gas exchange chambers for oxygen fluxes between terrestrial
ecosystem components and the atmosphere. Measurements are carried out at
sites in Germany.
Ph.D. student: Tasks include model simulation of the exchange of oxygen
between various terrestrial ecosystems and the atmosphere,
implementation of oxygen fluxes into a multilayer canopy model, model
calibration, validation and data interpretation
Your profile
• Completed university degree (Ph.D. for postdoc) in environmental
sciences or related discipline (meteorology, physics, geography, plant
ecology, geoecology, soil sciences, environmental engineering etc.)
• Scientific creativity shown by a track record of original and
innovative research
• Proficiency in English
Additionally for postdoc
• Research experience with high precision trace gas measurements and/or
soil gas exchange measurements
• Technical expertise with field measurements
