Subject: [Met-jobs] PDRA opportunity at BCCR, Bergen
Message-ID: <20160610132103.20553igyetcdzl3z.tto061@impmail.uib.no>

A two-year PDRA position is available for work on troposphere-middle
atmosphere coupling in the context of solar forcing of atmospheric
variability.
We are particularly interested in chemistry-dynamic coupling in the
lower mesosphere/upper stratosphere, its impact on wave breaking and
refraction, and the effects on the atmospheric circulation including
the troposphere.
Our main numerical tool will be the atmospheric general-circulation
model CAM/WACCM, within the CESM/NorESM modelling framework.
The PDRA should have a background in atmospheric dynamics, familiarity
with scientific analysis of gridded geophysical data, and good knowledge
of global-circulation modelling systems.
The position is for two years; the start date is negotiable.
Deadline for applications: 25 June.
To apply, please follow the link:

Four Post-Doctoral Positions in Climate Projection and Prediction Science
University of Exeter Climate Systems Group
We wish to recruit four Associate Research Fellows/Research Fellows for two major new projects 'Robust Projections of Real World Climate Change' and 'Securing Multidisciplinary Understanding and Prediction of Hiatus and Surge Events'. These posts are available from 1st October 2016 for up to three years. The projects will seek to improve future climate projections by advancing techniques to combine models, observations and physical understanding using advanced statistical techniques and by looking at mechanisms for decadal climate variability.
We are seeking applicants who have skills in one or more of the following areas; climate modelling, climate dynamics, understanding physical climate change and the development and use of statistical techniques for climate problems. The successful applicants will be able to present information on research progress and outcomes, communicate complex information, orally, in writing and electronically and prepare proposals and applications to external bodies.
Applicants will possess a relevant PhD and be able to demonstrate sufficient knowledge in the discipline and of research methods and techniques to work within established research programmes. At Research Fellow level, the successful applicant will be a nationally recognised authority in climate science and be able to develop research programmes and methodologies. The successful applicant will also be able to work collaboratively, supervise the work of others and act as team leader as required.
The 'Real Projections' project is led by Prof. Mat Collins and involves scientists from the University of Exeter (Dr Paul Halloran, Dr Hugo Lambert, Dr James Screen, Prof. David Stephenson, Prof. Geoff Vallis and Dr Danny Williamson) as well as scientists from the British Antarctic Survey, the University of East Anglia, NCAS Climate (Reading), the Met Office and the University of Oxford. The decadal variability project is led by Prof. Piers Forster from the University of Leeds and is also a multi-institute project. The University of Exeter post is supervised by Prof. Mat Collins.
For further information please contact Prof. Mat Collins, e-mail M.Collins@ex.ac.uk<mailto:M.Collins@ex.ac.uk> or telephone 01932 723984.
The successful candidate will be appointed at Associate Research Fellow (Grade E) or Research Fellow (Grade F) depending on the skills and experience the individual can bring to the role. Candidates should demonstrate their achievement against the relevant criteria in the accompanying person specifications which will be used to make an appointment at an appropriate level.
The College is working towards department Silver Athena SWAN awards as a commitment to providing equality of opportunity and advancing the representation of women in STEM/M subjects: science, technology, engineering, mathematics and medicine.
The University of Exeter is an equal opportunity employer which is 'Positive about Disabled People'. Whilst all applicants will be judged on merit alone, we particularly welcome applications from groups currently underrepresented in the workforce.

Opportunity for Postdoctoral Position in Atmospheric Physics Applied to Nowcasting.
The Center for Weather Forecast and Climate Studies (CPTEC) of the National Institute for Space Research (INPE) is seeking a Postdoc to work on nowcasting research combining modeling and observation. The main challenger is to develop research in nowcasting of intense thunderstorms, understanding the evolution of the cloud microphysics properties to improve forecast skill of intense precipitation events. The activities of the researcher are part the FAPESP Thematic Project 2015/14497-0.
The research project has among its aims the radar assimilation in numerical models to improve skill of precipitation forecast in the range of 0 to 6 hours and the study of microphysical process using dual pol radar.
The candidate should have a Ph.D. in Atmospheric Sciences. It is desirable to have experience with cloud resolving models and radar observation. Skills on Fortran or any other language programming is also desirable. The Postdoc will be responsible for radar data assimilation and the development of severe storm conceptual models combining observations from dual polarization radar and satellite with numerical models. Information about the project please access the URL – http://soschuva.cptec.inpe.br
Interested candidates should send a letter of intent together with a CV to Dr. Luiz A T Machado, e-mail: luiz.machado@inpe.br<mailto:luiz.machado@inpe.br>
We will accept candidates until July 10, 2016.
The contract is for 1 year, with possibility of renewal upon performance for 1 more years, with an income of a FAPESP Post-Doc scholarship at the value of R$ 6.819,30 monthly, and a travel grant equivalent to 15% of the annual value of the scholarship. FAPESP can also cover an "installation" expenses with air ticket and a fee for initial setup in Brazil. Rules of the program can be found at www.fapesp.br/bolsas/pd<http://www.fapesp.br/bolsas/pd>.
