Applications are invited for a 3-year Ph.D. fellowship in atmospheric
sciences at the Department of Geosciences, University of Oslo, Norway.
Applicants must hold a Master's degree in natural sciences (e.g.
meteorology or a related field such as physics, or chemistry) or
computational/applied mathematics (including fluid mechanics).
The work of the Ph.D. scholar will be part of the project "Solar effects
on natural climate variability in the North Atlantic and Arctic", which
is coordinated by Dr. Yvan Orsolini at theNorwegian Institute for Air
Research and funded by the Research Council of Norway. In this project,
we will 1) characterize how the 11-year solar cycle and its spectral
radiance variations affect the interannual-to-decadal variability of the
northern hemisphere circulation patterns, principally the North Atlantic
Oscillation and the Arctic Oscillation, through stratosphere-troposphere
and through ocean-atmosphere coupling, and 2) examine if energetic
particle precipitation can also significantly affect the
interannual-to-decadal variability of these patterns, and how it
interplays with the solar radiance effect.
The University of Oslo (UiO) and NILU will collaborate closely by
supervising the PhD student at UiO. The PhD student will be tasked with
running the Whole-Atmosphere (0-140km) Community Climate Model (WACCM)
within the the Norwegian Earth System Model (NorESM).
The position is affiliated with the Section for Meteorology and
Oceanography. The research group consists of six professors, four
adjunct professors, seven Ph.D. research fellows and five Post-Docs.
The Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences has a strategic ambition
of being a leading research faculty. Candidates will be selected in
accordance with this, and are expected to be in the upper segment of
their class with respect to academic credentials. Applications are
encouraged from dedicated candidates with excellent writing skills.
Creativity and innovation are valued as is a demonstrated high working
capacity, passion for research, and self-motivation.
Demonstrated experience with any of the following should be highlighted:
• Knowledge of computer modelling of the climate system
• Technical expertise in scripting (Python, R, bash/shell) or
programming (C++ and/or FORTRAN)
• Evidence of independent research and writing skills
