The School of Physics, Astronomy and Mathematics at the University of Hertfordshire offers up to three PhD studentships in areas of applied optics and atmospheric physics. The School is home to over 50 academic staff and 40 research students and hosts two major research centres: the Centre for Atmospheric and Instrumentation Research (CAIR; go.herts.ac.uk/cair) and the Centre for Astrophysics Research (CAR). The studentships would be based in CAIR and would be funded for a period of three years, covering tuition fees and providing an annual stipend of £14,296 for UK or EU candidates. Non-EU applicants will have to contribute £6,250 p.a. towards their tuition fees. Research groups within CAIR offering studentships are as follows:
The Particle Instruments and Diagnostics group specializes in the development of novel instruments for measuring, classifying or identifying airborne particles. These range from aircraft-borne instruments for atmospheric cloud particle analysis through to miniature air quality monitors for pollution monitoring and dedicated detectors for airborne hazards (such as asbestos fibres or respirable crystalline silica). The PhD student would follow a research programme focusing on the development of a single instrument/sensor or indeed contribute to several instrument developments. The research programme could involve aspects of instrument design (optical, electronic or mechanical), control software development, field deployment and monitoring, and experimental data analysis.
The Light Scattering and Radiative Properties group specializes in the interaction between atmospheric particles, such as cirrus ice crystals, and solar radiation, and the significant impact these particles play in global climate. Possible research projects could involve one or more of the following areas: laboratory measurement of scattering properties of microparticles using levitation techniques, quantifying the impact of cirrus ice particle shape on climate, studying remote sensing methods for cloud characterization.
The Atmospheric Dynamics and Air Quality group specializes in meteorological processes and their interaction with atmospheric composition including air quality and the resulting impacts over local to global scales. The PhD student would follow a research programme aiming at furthering process-level understanding of dynamical controls on environmental hazards (e.g. air pollution and fog/haze/smog) with a view to improve their representation in numerical weather prediction models.
Students with background in physics, electronics or a related discipline and a good first degree (equivalent to at least UK 2:1 honours), are invited to apply. The closing date for applications is Friday June 3rd 2016. To apply and obtain further information on studentships, please contact Mrs Lorraine Nicholls (l.nicholls@herts.ac.uk) or Emma Thorogood (e.thorogood@herts.ac.uk).

The Institut Pierre-Simon Laplace offers a post-doctoral position of 18 month (extensible up to 30 month) to assess and improve the new IPSL atmospheric component. This model is based on the new LMDZ6 physical package and the new Dynamico dynamical core on an icosahedral grid.
The Institut Pierre-Simon Laplace (IPSL) is a multi-laboratory institute in and around Paris. It hosts one of the leading climate modelling centre which develops the Earth System Model IPSL-CM and its various components. This development is a collaborative effort involving around 100 persons. A new physical package has been developed for LMDZ6, the atmospheric component of the IPSL-CM6 Earth System Model that will contribute to the 6th phase of the CMIP project. A new global dynamical core DYNAMICO has been developed that is well adapted to massively parallel high performance computers. DYNAMICO uses a non-structured icosahedral grid and is currently running at the standard resolution of the model (about 2°).
The aim of the post-doctoral position is twofold. Firstly it is to asses and improve the LMDZ6 model with the new dynamical core, to identify and to understand the differences with the previous grid-point, latitude-longitude dynamical core. Secondly, it is to increase the horizontal resolution up to 0.5° (or finer), to assess the performance of the model and adjust the parameterizations as needed to the finer grid. In particular, scale-aware stochastic triggering of convection will be used and improved. The analysis may be focused on specific phenomena, like cyclones, depending on the interest of the candidate. The final version of this model will be used to perform prescribed SST simulations that will contribute to the HighResMIP project.
Applicants should have a PhD in geosciences or physics, preferably in meteorology, atmospheric or climate physics. Candidates must have experience in numerical modelling with programming languages FORTRAN or C in a UNIX environment.
The candidate will be recruited for 18 months (extensible up to 30 months) starting in Autumn 2016, with a net monthly salary around 2100-2400 euros, commensurate with experience. This includes social services and health insurance.
The work will be conducted at IPSL under the main supervision of Frédéric Hourdin, Thomas Dubos and Jean-Louis Dufresne.
Contact for applications: Applications should include a vita, a statement of interests and the names of at least two references including e-mail addresses and telephone numbers. Applications should be submitted by e-mail to frederic.hourdin@lmd.jussieu.fr, dubos@lmd.polytechnique.fr, jean-louis.dufresne@lmd.jussieu.fr. We expect to fill the position before summer 2016, as soon as enough qualified candidates have applied.
