Post-doctoral researcher position at Stanford University to study the dynamics and impacts of extreme climate events
The Climate and Earth System Dynamics Lab at Stanford University invites applications for a post-doctoral researcher to study the dynamics and impacts of extreme climate events. Areas of emphasis include (1) "single event attribution", (2) the physical dynamics that create unprecedented extreme events, and (3) empirical analyses of the impacts of extremes on natural and/or human systems.
Candidates should have a PhD in a field relevant to the study of climate extremes. The successful candidate will have demonstrated the ability to carry out creative, innovative, independent research, and to publish in the peer-reviewed literature. The position is available immediately. The initial appointment is expected to be for one year, with the possibility of renewal depending on performance and availability of funds. Interested applicants should send the following materials to Prof. Noah Diffenbaugh (via email at diffenbaugh@stanford.edu <mailto:diffenbaugh@stanford.edu>): (1) a curriculum vitae, (2) a statement of research experience and interests, and (3) the names and contact information of at least three individuals from whom letters of reference may be requested.
Information about the Climate and Earth System Dynamics Lab is available at https://pangea.stanford.edu/researchgroups/cesd/ <https://pangea.stanford.edu/researchgroups/cesd/>. Stanford University is an equal opportunity employer and is committed to increasing the diversity of its staff. It welcomes applications from women, members of minority groups, protected veterans, and individuals with disabilities, as well as from others who would bring additional dimensions to the university's research, teaching and clinical missions.

The British Antarctic Survey is seeking a physical oceanographer to work on an exciting, multi-institute programme investigating the export of dense waters that form around Antarctica. The post holder will work with data from a large array of oceanographic moorings that have been deployed at the northern edge of the Weddell Sea, and will conduct analyses that inform on the throughflow and mixing of these waters as they enter the lower limb of the Atlantic overturning circulation.
This is a 22-month postdoc position, including participation in a Southern Ocean research cruise in March-April 2017, to be conducted from RRS James Clark Ross. The post holder will be based at BAS Cambridge, and the role will involve collaboration with leading scientists from the University of Southampton, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, and GFDL Princeton.
Further details can be found at
https://www.bas.ac.uk/jobs/vacancy/physical-oceanographer-moorings-cambridge/
The deadline for applications is 24 July, with interviews scheduled to take place on the week of 8 Aug; we hope the successful candidate can start on 1 Dec.
Potential candidates are very welcome to contact Povl Abrahamsen (epab@bas.ac.uk) or Mike Meredith (mmm@bas.ac.uk) with any questions about the role.
