Precursor (S5P)" and
"Sentinel-4 (S4)" algorithms for an accurate determination of ozone,
sulfur dioxide and
other trace gases as well as for cloud parameters will be developed.
These algorithms will
be used operationally in real-real-time and offline data processing systems.
Tasks
- Development and improvement of innovative scientific algorithms to
extract information from observations
based on the atmospheric sensors S5P and S4 as well as for the
determination of cloud parameters
- Participation in the integration of the newly developed algorithms in
operational software systems
- Conception, preparation and execution of test runs
For further details see the attached job announcement (PDF file).

PhD position at KU Leuven (Belgium)
A PhD position (4-year period) on urban climate modeling in Africa, is available at the department of Earth and Environmental Sciences (KU Leuven, Belgium). KU Leuven has strong expertise in both African high-resolution climate modeling as well as on urban climate modeling and this project brings these topics together. Although Western cities have been the subject of research on the urban heat island, the situation for African cities is still largely unknown. This is unfortunate as these African cities are expanding very rapidly, driven both by population growth and migration from rural to urbanized areas. This project aims at improved understanding of spatial variability of present-day meteorological conditions in and around the cities by combining urban climate modeling with remote sensing. The project frames within a larger program where the knowledge gained will be applied to improve understanding of malaria in African cities.
Leuven is a medieval university town a charming place with many historical buildings. The University of Leuven is among the oldest universities in Western Europe, and today it is the largest university in Belgium. Situated at the heart of Europe, KU Leuven offers a vibrant and international setting, supported by fast connections to several European cities (twenty minutes by train to Brussels, two hours to Cologne, three hours to Amsterdam, and an hour and a half to Paris). The KU Leuven Arenberg Doctoral School (https://set.kuleuven.be/phd) supports training of the PhD students. Currently 60% of the doctoral students are international students. KU Leuven pursues an equal opportunities and diversity policy.
Requirements:
A Master degree (or about to finish) in a relevant discipline (geography, atmospheric sciences, meteorology, environmental sciences, physics, mathematics, etc.), excellent motivation and grades, good programming skills, interest in scientific computing and good written and oral communication skills in English.
You can apply at: http://www.kuleuven.be/eapplyingforjobs/light/53805700<https://icts.kuleuven.be/apps/jobsite/vacatures/53310414>
Applicants apply via the online application including a motivation letter, their Curriculum Vitae, transcripts, and the names and e-mail of at least two references before 14 August 2016. Starting date is preferably 1 October 2016, but can be negotiated. Questions related to the job offer can be directed to Prof. Nicole van Lipzig (Nicole.vanlipzig@kuleuven.be<mailto:Nicole.vanlipzig@kuleuven.be>) or Dr. Matthias Demuzere (Matthias.Demuzere@kuleuven.be<mailto:Matthias.Demuzere@kuleuven.be>).

Research Fellow in the Dynamics and Parametrisation of Deep Convection
School of Earth and Environment / School of Mathematics
University of Leeds
To work with Doug Parker, Alan Blyth, Andy Ross, Steven Boeing, John Marsham,
Cathyrn Birch, Steven Tobias, Stephen Griffiths
We seek a creative and ambitious scientist with interests in Geophysical Fluid
Dynamics to contribute to a programme of original research into the dynamics
and parametrisation of moist convection in the atmosphere. The project aims to
develop a new theoretical and conceptual understanding of convective cloud
genesis, including the sub-cloud dynamics, and the dynamics of the growing
updraught. To support this theoretical work you will conduct numerical
modelling of convective clouds, studying the basic fluid dynamics of plumes,
thermals, updraughts and downdraughts within storms, and investigating the
interactions of these systems with the underlying surface and the larger-scale
circulation. A statistical framework will be developed, to describe the cloud
genesis in terms of stochastic functions which can be included in
parametrisation schemes.
The project is funded as part of the NERC-Met Office "ParaCon" programme which
will, over the next 5 years, deliver new convective parametrisation schemes to
the UK Met Office. You will be part of a large collaborative research team at
Leeds, including scientists in the School of Earth and Environment and the
School of Mathematics, who have expertise in theory, observations and modelling
of convective clouds. You will also collaborate closely with our partners at
the Met Office, CNRM (Toulouse) and ICTP (Trieste), as well as other ParaCon
partners at the Universities of Exeter, Reading and Cambridge.
You will be expected to contribute to the ongoing research in Atmospheric
Science and Fluid Dynamics in the Schools. Your work will lead to significant
publications in atmospheric and climate science and you will also present your
research at national and international meetings.
You will have a PhD (or be close to submitting) in a quantitative physical
science, such as Physics, Applied Mathematics or Meteorology. You will also
have a strong interest in and some experience in aspects of Fluid Dynamics in
addition to having experience of numerical modelling. You will have an
excellent track record of publication in high-quality journals and excellent
communication skills. Experience with programming on a linux or unix operating
system is desirable.
The University of Leeds' commitment to women in science has been recognised
with a national accolade. The University has received the Athena SWAN Bronze
Award and the Faculty of Environment holds the Athena SWAN Bronze Award in
recognition of our success in recruiting, retaining and developing/promoting
women in Science, Engineering and Technology (SET). We are proud of our
commitment to equality and inclusiveness.
Job sharing arrangements will be considered

maternity and paternity leave; full details of the policies can be found here
