PhD on Modeling the Future Greenland Ice Sheet Coupled to the Climate System
Job description
The PhD candidate will investigate future interactions between the Greenland ice sheet (GrIS) and the climate system with the Community Earth System Model (CESM, www2.cesm.ucar.edu<http://www2.cesm.ucar.edu>) coupled to the Community Ice Sheet Model version 2 (CISM2, http://oceans11.lanl.gov/cism/index.html). CESM is a global climate model capable of realistic simulation of GrIS surface melt and refreezing. CISM is an ice sheet model that simulates the topography, velocity field and thermal state of ice sheets.
Including ice sheets as interactive components of global climate model is a young and promising field of research. This project is timely as the GrIS is currently losing mass at an accelerated rate and its contribution to future sea level rise is one major impact of anthropogenic climate change. This project will participate in the international Ice Sheet Model Intercomparison Project 6 (ISMIP6).
The PhD candidate will design and perform simulations with the ice sheet and climate models, will modify the code where appropriate for specific research targets, and will analyze model output and available observations. He/she will evaluate the sensitivity of the GrIS to atmospheric and/or ocean forcing, will quantify the role of feedbacks in accelerating/decelerating GrIS mass loss, and will contribute to assess the timing and climatic impacts of Greenland deglaciation.
Qualifications
Applicants should have a strong background in meteorology, oceanography, Earth sciences or physics at the MSc level, as well as experience with FORTRAN90, geophysical models and Unix-Linux environments. Experience with CESM, CISM or similar climate and/or ice sheet models is a plus. Strong programming skills are essential. Good English speaking and writing skills are required.

Postdoctoral Positions in 'Atmospheric Aerosol Modeling'
Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) invites applications for postdoctoral positions to conduct research in the area of atmospheric aerosol process representation in ECCC's operational air quality prediction model GEM-MACH (Global Environmental Multiscale - Modelling Air quality and CHemistry). GEM-MACH is a fine to large scale comprehensive air quality model containing a full description of atmospheric chemistry, aerosols and meteorological processes. The selected candidates will join the air quality modeling and research group at ECCC and contribute to the development of the next generation aerosol module for GEM-MACH. The new aerosol module is driven by the need to capture up-to-date advancements in the science, improve air quality predictions, develop a fully interactive meteorology-composition-chemistry model and address aerosols related outstanding science issues including aerosol-cloud-radiation interaction.
Candidates should hold Ph. D. in Atmospheric science or a related field. In-depth knowledge and experience in one or more atmospheric aerosol process parameterizations (i.e., new particle formation, coagulation, gas-particle mass transfer, particle thermodynamics, secondary organic aerosol formation, heterogeneous chemistry, cloud droplet/ice particle formation/evaporation, and aerosol dynamics and mixing-state representation) and strong computer programming skills are essential. Air quality, climate or weather prediction numerical modeling skills would be advantageous to the positions. An ideal candidate will be a highly motivated, creative and independent researcher.
The postdoctoral positions are administered by Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC) under the Visiting Fellowships in Canadian Government Laboratories (VF) Program for Canadian government research institutions. The fellowship offers attractive salary commensurate with experience, excellent work environment and opportunity to work with research groups in Canadian government research institutions to promising emerging scientists and engineers. NSERC-VF policy requires that postdoctoral fellowship appointments be made to individuals who have received their doctorate within the past five years. Fellowships are awarded for one year with the possibility of renewal for a second and third year.
Interested candidates are requested to forward their Curriculum Vitae, names and contact information of two-three references and any inquiries by email to: ashu.dastoor@canada.ca<mailto:ashu.dastoor@canada.ca>. In addition, the interested candidates should complete the application for NSERC-VF on the following website, noting the desired site for the fellowship as Environment and Climate Change Canada, Air Quality Research Division, Air Quality Modelling and Integration Section – Dorval. http://www.nserc-crsng.gc.ca/students-etudiants/pd-np/laboratories-laboratoires/index_eng.asp
