The Finnish Meteorological Institute (FMI) is a service and research institute that produces high-quality observational and model data, and research findings on the atmosphere and seas. The Climate Research Unit at FMI consists of an experienced international staff with a broad expertise on atmospheric, oceanic and carbon cycle processes in the Earth System. We offer exciting work and an excellent, international training environment for early-carrier scientists!
We are now seeking 1-2 highly motivated PhD students to work on global-scale modelling of aerosol climate impacts. The successful applicant(s) will play an important role in a project that aims to improve the models' description of aerosol-cloud interactions, which remain the single largest uncertainty in current estimates of climate change drivers. The position(s) will be funded by the highly competitive European Research Council's Consolidator Grant scheme.
The currently open PhD student position(s) will focus on 1) implementing statistical emulators to a global climate model and 2) performing climate model simulations of current and future aerosol radiative impacts. The position(s) will be located in Helsinki, Finland, and have the duration of 2-4 years with a negotiable start date. Salary will be based on experience and performance according to the FMI salary scale (31,200 € to 33,600 € per annum).
Qualifications
Candidates with a MSc degree or equivalent (completed before the start of the contract) in relevant fields (e.g. geosciences, meteorology, physics, scientific computing) will be considered. Furthermore, a successful candidate must meet the following essential criteria:
· Strong background in atmospheric sciences
· Strong knowledge in numerical programming
· Written and spoken fluency in English, and willingness to work internationally (including research visits abroad)
· Good communication and organizational skills
· Ability to carry out independent research as well as work as part of a team
· Positive attitude and passion for science!
Other desirable qualifications are
· Experience in Unix/Linux operating system and supercomputing
· Good understanding of aerosol-cloud interactions
· Experience in handling large data sets
To apply, send a short application together with a CV and publication list by email titled "PhD Student ERC/FMI" to hakemukset.kirjaamo@fmi.fi (cc: hannele.korhonen@fmi.fi) at the latest 6th October 2016 at 12 noon (EEC).
Contact
For more details, please contact Research Professor Hannele Korhonen (hannele.korhonen@fmi.fi, or tel. +358 40 8424 852).

Subject: [Met-jobs] PhD Opportunity at Lancaster Uni **for this
October** or soon thereafter: Air quality and climate. Co-supervised
with business
Message-ID: <B6A75D29-6A1F-4D90-B334-0C05433CB655@lancaster.ac.uk>

**Please also forward to final year undergraduates or masters students who are late in looking for a PhD**
There is a late opportunity for a PhD position in Air Quality and Climate Change, using a mixture of models and observations to develop an "Air Quality Service".
We are interested in the conditions that exacerbate poor air quality, and then make an assessment of how those conditions might change over the coming decade(s). This could be climate change impacts on particular meteorological conditions, changes in ozone input from the stratosphere (due to ozone layer recovery and climate change), as well as emission changes. The results might go some way to suggesting pollution control measures that authorities might consider adopting.
The PhD will be in the Lancaster Environment Centre<http://www.lancaster.ac.uk/lec/>, Lancaster University, and will be co-supervised by the JBA Trust<http://www.jbatrust.org/> and JBA Consulting<http://www.jbaconsulting.com/>.
The project is part of the second wave of the EU-funded Centre for Global Eco-innovation<http://www.cgeinnovation.org/>, and will equip the successful candidate with the commercial experience for a career outside academia, as well as the research experience for a career inside academia.
All students are encouraged to apply. Home/EU students will have their fees covered, but tuition for international students without their own support would have to be confirmed. There is a generous stipend and funding for research support.
Application deadline: 19th September 2016 (hopefully to be put back, but please don't plan on this!)
Provisional interview date: 22nd September 2016
More details and link for application: bit.ly/2c18V1f<http://bit.ly/2c18V1f>
Please feel free to contact Paul Young with specific questions (paul.j.young@lancaster.ac.uk<mailto:paul.j.young@lancaster.ac.uk>)

The Institute of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (IPF)
<http://www.ipf.kit.edu/english> and the Institute of Meteorology and
Climate Research (IMK) <http://www.imk.kit.edu/english> at Karlsruhe
Institute of Technology (KIT) are offering a limited position
*PhD Position in Remote Sensing of Air Pollution Patterns*
This PhD scholarship is part of the Graduate School for Climate and
Environment GRACE <http://www.grace.kit.edu/english>. The main goal of the
joint research project RePAQ – Regional Patterns of Air Quality – is to
evaluate temporal and spatial patterns of urban air quality, and their
geophysical determinants. Remote sensing, using both satellite-based and
ground-based instrumentation will be employed to understand how
satellite-retrieved atmospheric aerosol loading can be used to approximate
street-level air pollution; to analyse high-pollution events in selected
cities in multiple dimensions; and to assess the urban pollution footprint
relative to periodic and shifting changes in prevalent surfaces, in
particular vegetation.
The ideal candidate should have a strong interest in all, and good
knowledge of at least one of the following: remote sensing, urban climate,
statistical methods. She/he should be a team player, have good
communication skills and take on responsibility in an international and
interdisciplinary research team. *The position can be filled immediately*.
KIT is pursuing a gender-equality policy. Women are particularly encouraged
to apply. If qualified, handicapped applicants will be preferred.
Please send your complete application until 3rd October 2016, which should
include 1) a letter of motivation, 2) a curriculum vitae, 3) complete
course grades and transcripts and 4) contact details of at least two
referees, as one pdf file by email to Jan Cermak, jan.cermak@kit.edu.
For additional information on the position, please directly contact Prof.
Dr. Jan Cermak, email: jan.cermak@kit.edu.
