Please notice that the deadline for the following PhD position has been
extended to August 29th:
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

Web link: Details can be found here<https://www.reading.ac.uk/15/about/jobs/about-job-details.aspx?vacancy_id=987356B7Do>.
We invite applications for a postdoctoral position to undertake exciting and innovative research in remote sensing and clouds. This post holder will work on world-leading, high-resolution remote sensing observations to pioneer retrieval methods for cloud and precipitation, to explore new approaches to understanding cloud-aerosol-precipitation-radiation processes, and to improve their representations in models.
The post holder will:
1) Contribute to the exciting on-going development of cloud/precipitation retrieval methods, with specific interest in exploiting the synergy between scanning cloud radar/lidar and shortwave/longwave radiation measurements, and the scientific challenges associated with Doppler information in cloud/precipitation retrieval.
2) Analyse and interpret cloud, precipitation, aerosol, and radiation observations for various Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Program sites and mobile facility deployments, with a focus on the Eastern North Atlantic site and the LASIC (Layered Atlantic Smoke Interactions with Clouds) campaigns.
3) Explore new knowledge of the 3D cloud and radiation fields and its synergy with high- resolution simulations to constrain cloud/precipitation physical processes, and improve their representations in weather and climate models
You will have:
- PhD in atmospheric science, physics or mathematics (or a closely related subject), expect shortly to obtain this or equivalent research experience
- Strong analytic, communication and writing skills
- Experience using remote sensing data
- Strong motivation and good willingness to perform high quality research
- Ability to carry out independent research work

A new project has recently been funded by NERC, aimed at investigating the variability of ocean heat transport and how it influences the sea surface temperature and climate.
Not all heat transport changes are created equal: some only affect heat content at subsurface without any signature in the upper ocean mixed layer. Others have a direct influence on the latter and so a quick pathway to influencing climate.
We are looking for a postdoctoral associate to work on this project for a 3 year period (starting date around Nov 1st 2016). Ideally, the candidate should have a good knowledge of large scale physical oceanography and familiarity with statistical analysis and numerical modelling (both modelling and analysis of oceanic observations will be required).
The work will be carried out in Reading under the supervision of Dr David Ferreira, with a collaboration with Dr Arnaud Czaja at Imperial College, London. An formal job advert should be published within the coming month or so.
For more information please contact directly David Ferreira (d.g.ferreira@reading.ac.uk) or Arnaud Czaja (a.czaja@imperial.ac.uk).

We seek an enthusiastic research scientist to undertake research into
tropical-extratropical atmospheric teleconnections on sub-seasonal and
seasonal timescales as part of a wider international project (InterDec) on
interactions between the tropical and extra-tropical climate system. In
collaboration with scientists at the European Centre for Medium Range
Weather Forecasting, you will use re-analysis, and re-forecast sets from the
ECMWF sub-seasonal and seasonal forecasting systems and the WMO S2S
Prediction Project and modelling experiments within InterDec to analyse the
dynamical mechanisms of tropical-extratropical teleconnections. The focus
will be on tropical sub-seasonal variability as a source of predictability
for sub-seasonal variability in the extra-tropics and its potential
rectification onto longer timescales, including relationships between the
MJO and: the NAO; Sudden Stratospheric Warmings and strong stratospheric
vortex regimes; and Arctic-sea ice, and their subsequent influence on
high-latitude tropospheric weather.
You will have:
- A PhD in Atmospheric Science or related field, a Mathematical Science, or
equivalent research experience
- Strong skills in the analysis and interpretation of complex datasets
- A knowledge of geophysical fluid dynamics
- Good oral and written communication skills
