POST DOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP IN SIMULATION OF WIND CLIMATES
Dept. of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences
Cornell University
Ithaca, NY
Applications are sought for a Post Doc to participate in a project
designed to (i) quantify aspects of wind climates of relevance to wind
energy, (ii) assess causes of intra-annual to intra-decadal variability
in wind climates and (ii) diagnose where and how wind conditions may
change over time. This project is a collaboration between professors at
Cornell University, scientists at a national laboratory (PNNL) and in
private industry, and the selected applicant will have the opportunity
to work closely with all three partners.
Qualifications
The selected applicant will lead the numerical modeling using WRF and a
global variable resolution model, and must hold a Ph.D. in atmospheric
science, engineering or related subject. Experience with WRF is highly
desirable, familiarity with wind engineering or atmospheric modeling
using variable resolution models is desirable and familiarity with
high-performance computing and programming in Fortran and Matlab is
essential.
Term
The preferred start date is 1 November 2016 and the initial appointment
will be for 1 year with the possibility of renewal.
Salary
Salary will be commensurate with experience.
How to apply
For full consideration, please send a letter of application, a current
curriculum vitae, and the names and contact information of three
references to: Professor S.C. Pryor (sp2279@cornell.edu
<mailto:sp2279@cornell.edu>). Applications will be processed until the
position is filled but those received by 15 September 2016 will receive
full consideration. Cornell University is an Equal Employment
Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer and we strongly encourage
applications from women and minorities.
Specific responsibilities (and approximate effort allocation):
(45%) Conduct simulations with WRF over North America
(30%) Conduct simulations with MPAS over North America
(5%) Archive model output using best-practice data provenance procedures
(15%) Develop publication-quality research manuscripts
(5%) Other research activities

Subject: [Met-jobs] PhD Position on highly resolved radar measurements
at IMK (Karlsruhe, Germany)
Message-ID: <61056d29-ffca-5e19-fa71-01e144f9ad70@kit.edu>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"
IMK-TRO offers one PhD Position on highly resolved radar
measurements of precipitation in an urban environment.
In the framework of GRACE (www.grace.kit.edu/english/index.php) we
want to investigate the distribution of precipitation at very high
spatial resolution. Whereas most investigations of the
climate within cities concentrate on the heat island effect and air
quality issues, we want to examine the feedback of the urban
environment on the rainfall. This feedback may only be visible
downstream of the city.
This investigation aims primarily on summer precipitation. Central
element will be a six month measurement period with an X-band radar
in or near Stuttgart, Germany.
We aim at an close cooperation with the "Verbundprojekt Stadtklima
im Wandel" (compound project on changing city climate) which deals
with the development and evaluation of a numerical model to
investigate the climate within a large city. Spatial resolution
shall be in the order of 10 m.
This vacancy aims only at non-German candidates.
Successful candidates must have a university degree in meteorology
or related subject (Diploma or M. Sc.). A strong background in
atmospheric physics or active remote sensing is also necessary. You
should have a solid knowledge in scientific programming (preferably
in Matlab) and experience in using Linux. Written and oral
communication skills sufficient to author manuscripts and present
research at conferences are desirable.
Contract period: 3 years
Begin of contract: Sept. 1st, 2016.
For further questions, please ask
Dr. Jan Handwerker, Tel: +49 721 608 22847, email:
jan.handwerker@kit.edu
Please send your complete application documents (CV, university
certificate, etc.) to: jan.handwerker@kit.edumet

The Centro de Estudios Avanzados en Zonas Áridas (Center for Advanced
Studies in Arid Zones, CEAZA), La Serena-Coquimbo, Chile, is currently
seeking to appoint two postdoctoral researchers with skills and experience
in glaciology, hydrology or climatology to join the glaciology group at
CEAZA. They will work within a project funded by the Coquimbo Regional
Government, which focuses on evaluating and monitoring water resources from
the cryosphere in the semiarid Andes of north-central Chile.
Position 1: Evaluation of the contribution of snow to local catchments
Position 2: Evaluation of cryosphere change using remote sensing and LiDAR
