Dear colleagues,
we have an exciting position opening for an Ocean Altimetry Development Specialist at NOC Southampton. We are looking to expand our Satellite Oceanography team with an enthusiastic individual to help translate the recent advances in altimetry and coastal altimetry into high-impact applications to oceanography and climate studies. We need someone with a strong background in scientific data processing who is ready to do research, development and implementation of innovative approaches and software for the processing of pulse-limited and SAR-mode radar altimetry — including implementing pre-operational processing suites (an example is the evolution of the NOC processor based on the ALES algorithm). And we'd like this scientist to be involved hands-on in the high-impact applications of altimetry, for instance by working alongside NOC and International colleagues on global and regional studies of sea level rise. We expect the postholder to contribute to peer-reviewed publications on both the technical and application side.
Knowing Unix/Linux systems and numerical computing environments is an essential prerequisite. Experience with altimetry is a bonus but it's not essential: we will provide thorough training.
Please help us to find the right person for this job — spread the word!
Here's the official advert - Deadline for application is Oct 23rd.

Applications are invited for 14 PhD positions ("Early
Stage Researchers") to be funded by the Marie-Skłodowska-
Curie Innovative Training Network "COMPLETE –
Cloud-MicroPhysics-Turbulence-Telemetry: An
inter-multidisciplinary training network for enhancing the
understanding and modeling of atmospheric clouds within
the Horizon 2020 Programme of the European Commission.
COMPLETE is a consortium of high profile universities,
research institutions and companies located in ltaly,
France, Germany, Israel, Poland and UK.
(http://cordis.europa.eu/project/rcn/203353_en.html)
Research Fields:
Turbulence, Atmospheric physics and dynamics,
Environmental monitoring, Scientific computing and data
processing
Beneficiaries:
Politecnico di Torino, Imperial College London, Max Planck
Institut für Dynamik und Selbstorganisation, Universytet
Warszawski, Tel Aviv University, Laboratoire de
Meteorologie Dynamique - CNRS, Envisens Srl, Pentalum Ltd,
Sitael SpA.
Partner organizations:
Max Planck Institut für Meteorologie, Istituto per le
Scienze dell'Atmosfera e del Clima/CNR, Bayerische
Forschungsallianz, Umweltforschungsstation
Schneefernerhaus, MTF z.o.o., I3P, Ramot, Regione Piemonte
Benefits and salary:
The successful candidates will receive an attractive
salary in accordance with the MSCA regulations for Early
Stage Researchers. The salary includes a living
allowance, a mobility allowance and a family allowance
(if already married). The guaranteed PhD funding is for 36
months. In addition to their individual scientific
projects, all fellows will benefit from further continuing
education, which includes internships and secondments, a
variety of training modules as well as transferable skills
courses and active participation in workshops and
conferences.
Eligibility criteria:
Applicants need to fully satisfy three eligibility
criteria:
-- Early-stage researchers (ESR) are those who are, at the
time of recruitment by the host, in the first four years
(full- time equivalent) of their research careers. This is
measured from the date when they obtained the degree which
formally entitles them to embark on a doctorate, either in
the country in which the degree was obtained or in the
country in which the research training is provided,
irrespective of whether or not a doctorate was envisaged.
-- Conditions of international mobility of researchers:
Researchers are required to undertake trans-national
mobility (i.e. move from one country to another) when
taking up the appointment. At the time of selection by the
host organization, researchers must not have resided or
carried out their main activity (work, studies, etc.) in
the country of their host organization for more than 12
months in the 3 years immediately prior to their
recruitment. Short stays, such as holidays, are not taken
into account.
-- English language: Network fellows (ESRs) must
demonstrate that their ability to understand and express
themselves in both written and spoken English is
sufficient for them to derive the full benefit from the
network training.
Recruitment procedure:
The description of the available positions and of how to
apply is in the this pdf file:
http://areeweb.polito.it/ricerca/philofluid/includes/news/EUROAXESS_AD_H2020-COMPLETE_11_07_2016.pdf.
All candidates are invited to get in touch with the host
institution contact persons (including, for information,
the coordinator Prof. Daniela Tordella at
complete-network@polito.it).
Applications must include:
- CV,
- statement of research interests,
- list of three people who agreed to write a reference
letter,
- original transcripts of the Batchelor and Master
University Degrees
- copy of valid identity documents.
Applications are open until all positions are filled.
Project Abstract:
Clouds are the largest source of uncertainty in weather
prediction, climate science, and remain a weak link in
modeling atmospheric circulation. This is rooted in the
fact that clouds depend on the physical and chemical
processes over a huge range of scales, from the collisions
of micron-sized droplets and particles to the airflow
dynamics on the scales of thousands of meters. Since
ambiguities related to representation of clouds in
climate models prevail, explorative observations are
still needed. The challenge is on the one hand to
establish connections across this range of scales, from
aerosol and particle microphysics to macro-scale turbulent
dynamics in clouds, and on the other to combine knowledge
and training across vastly different scientific and
engineering disciplines. The aim of COMPLETE is to
develop an inter/multidisciplinary training network that
will prepare high-potential early stage researchers
(ESRs) with both scientific and industrially-oriented
skills that will advance our understanding in these
multi-scale complex natural phenomena. COMPLETE will
vastly improve Europe's position as a global leader in
technology, science and innovation to address climate
change challenges. The training programme will combine
the scientific investigation of specific aspects of cloud
physics and related turbulent dynamics with training in
key professional skills. This comprises an exceptional
experimental programme that includes field experiments,
laboratory and numerical simulations, the design and
development of advanced fast temperature probes, velocity
MEMS and innovative atmospheric mini radio-sondes; all
aimed at the production of new, Lagrangian based, cloud
fluctuation datasets, required to reduce the fragmentation
of results and knowledge in this field.
The 14 available positions:
ESR 1: Transport across warm turbulent cloud interfaces
(POLITO).
ESR 2: Floating cloud radiosonde data analysis from
infield and laboratory experiments (POLITO).
ESR 3: Interfacial dynamics of aerosols and droplets.
(ICL)
ESR 4: The effect of buoyancy on the dynamics of aerosols
and particles. (ICL)
ESR 5: Drop dynamics in turbulent flows. (MPG)
ESR 6: Development of a droplet generator, drop collision
measurement.(MPG)
ESR 7: Lagrangian properties of aerosol parcels at the
turbulent/non-turbulent interfaces with density jumps.
(TAU)
ESR 8: Development of the multi-MEMS-sensor-probe for the
three dimensional turbulent velocity and vorticity
measurements at sub Kolmogorov scales in atmospheric
turbulent flows and clouds. (TAU)
ESR 9: Small-scale turbulence and spatial distribution of
droplets in clouds. (UW)
ESR 10: Sub-grid scale modelling of particle transport in
Large Eddy Simulations of fluid flows. (UW)
ESR 11: Lagrangian estimates of entrainment rates in
clouds. (LMD)
ESR 12: Disposable radio-probes. (ENV)
ESR 13: Research and investigation of the performance
limits of a direct detection Lidar system developed at
Pentalum, in highly turbulent atmosphere and in real and
artificial turbulent environment. (PTL)
ESR 14: Microelectronic systems for innovative sensors
control. Innovative sensors for the measurement of
concentration of the chemical species.(STL)
