Post-Doctoral Research Assistant position at the Department of Meteorology of the University of Reading (UK)
Applications are invited for a 2-year postdoctoral position to investigate aerosol radiative forcing of the Earth system. The aim of this work is to provide support for model-based quantifications of aerosol radiative forcing by obtaining statistics of natural aerosol distributions and anthropogenic perturbations. The work combines analysis of aerosol remote sensing products with global climate modelling: the exact balance between the two activities will be determined by your skills and interests.
The context for the project is the change in our view of the natural and pre-industrial atmosphere, which has moved to an atmosphere where aerosols are more abundant than previously thought. This change has two consequences. First, anthropogenic perturbations may not be as large and frequent as previously considered. Second, the natural atmosphere becomes a large source of uncertainty when quantifying aerosol radiative forcing. Using a variety of aerosol and cloud remote sensing products, you will characterise aerosol properties in the natural and perturbed atmosphere to quantify how often the natural aerosol background is perturbed, and how strongly. You will then use a state-of-the-art numerical model of the global Earth System to reproduce the observed statistics, and quantify the corresponding aerosol radiative forcing.

Post-Doctoral Research Associate
University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign
Urbana, IL 61801, USA
The Department of Atmospheric Sciences at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, USA is seeking a postdoctoral research associate to conduct research aimed at improving our understanding of the interactions among earth's climate, agricultural crops and land use and land cover changes (LULCC).
We seek candidate with a Ph.D. in earth system science, climate science, or another related field in the sciences or engineering with a working knowledge of an earth system model, crop growth model, LULCC model or similar complex models. A working experience in FORTRAN is must. Demonstrated ability to produce quality research output, good oral and verbal communication skills and an interest in working with researchers from other environmental sciences will be among the selection criteria.
The initial term will be for two years with the strong potential for renewal based on performance and available funding.
Applicants should send the following materials by email to Prof. Atul Jain at jain1@illinois.edu: (1) a cover letter describing research interests and experience, (2) curriculum vita, and (3) names and contact information for three references. The salary is commensurate with experience. For full consideration, applications must be received by August 31, 2016.
The University of Illinois is an Affirmative Action, Equal Opportunity Employer.
