Scientific Programmer Position in Visualization of Meteorological
Simulation and Observation Data
Technical University of Munich, Computer Graphics and Visualization Group
------------
We are seeking a scientific programmer to work with us on the
next-generation 3D meteorological ensemble visualization software
"Met.3D". The software is available open-source at
https://bitbucket.org/wxmetvis/met.3d and is used by an increasing
number of meteorological research groups, including the collaborative
research centre "Waves to Weather"
(http://www.wavestoweather.de/cca/visualization/index.html).
Your task will be to implement major enhancements to the software's
graphics algorithms, data processing algorithms and user interface.
You'll be part of a growing working group that develops novel
visualization techniques to improve the way meteorologists visually
analyse their data, in particular ensemble simulation data.
To apply, you should have a university degree (BSc/MSc) in computer
science, meteorology, or a related field. Profound knowledge of C++
programming is required, ideally you also have experience in GPU-based
real-time computer graphics with OpenGL. Knowledge of software
development with Qt under Linux and Windows will be advantageous.
The position will be located at the Chair for Computer Graphics and
Visualization at the Technical University of Munich, Germany (Head:
Prof. Dr. Ruediger Westermann).
The position is full-time and paid according to the German public
service pay scale, up to TV-L E13 depending on your qualification. It is
initially limited to 12 months. If you are interested, there may be a
possibility to continue with a PhD project in meteorological
visualization after the first 12 months; other options may be available
as well.
For further information please contact Dr. Marc Rautenhaus, email:

University of Reading, Meteorology Department
Postdoctoral Research Assistant in Earth Observation (SF13584)
We are seeking to recruit a talented, statistically literate researcher to make specific contributions to two linked projects within the Earth Observation and Space research division of the Department of Meteorology. The projects are:
- EU Horizon 2020 project "Fidelity and Uncertainty in Climate data records from Earth Observations" (FIDUCEO, www.fiduceo.eu)
- European Space Agency Climate Change Initiative for Sea Surface Temperature (www.esa-cci-sst.org<http://www.esa-cci-sst.org>)
You will have:
- A relevant PhD and numerate qualifications
- Enthusiasm, ideas and willingness to collaborate with the international partners and local team
- Good understanding of relevant statistics and concepts of uncertainty
- Skills in handling and analysing models, geophysical and/or satellite data
- Programming experience in Python and/or FORTRAN
- Useful background knowledge of physics, remote sensing and/or climate
The specific tasks for this post include: tuning an existing model of near-surface temperature variability in the ocean against in situ data, and developing an uncertainty estimate for this model; consolidating remotely sensed estimates of stratospheric aerosol conditions following major volcanic eruptions.
Closing Date: 13/7/2016
Interview Date: 21/7/2016
Fixed Term (up to 24 months), Full Time

Subject: [Met-jobs] 3 year PostDoc in ice sheet and climate modelling
at AWI Bremerhaven, Germany
Message-ID: <57612C0E.9080200@awi.de>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"; format=flowed
Dear colleagues,
The Paleoclimate Dynamics section at Alfred-Wegener-Institut invites
applications for a position as a
PostDoc scientist
with a background in ice sheet or climate modelling for the DFG-project
"Global sea level change since the Mid Holocene" (SPP 1889).
Background and tasks:
The aim of this project is to study the evolution of polar ice sheets of
the last 6000 years and to estimate the role of climate – ice sheet
interactions. Combining climate and ice sheet simulations of different
resolution, the project particularly focusses on the ice sheets' mass
balance and on ice shelf – ocean interactions under natural and
anthropogenic climate change.
The postdoc's duties will include set-up, supervision, and analysis of
climate and ice sheet (PISM) simulations as well as publication in
peer-reviewed journals.
Requirements:
The successful candidate should have a PhD in glaciology, atmospheric
sciences, oceanography or related sciences and should have a background
in either ice sheet or climate modelling.
The position is limited to 3 years, starting August 1st, 2016 or later.
