Dear all,
At the Barcelona Supercomputing Center, the Spanish National Center of
Supercomputing we are looking for
<https://www.bsc.es/about-bsc/employment/vacancies/140escppredr2> Research
scientist position on predictability and prediction of the Arctic sea ice
and its linkages with the mid-latitude climate variability that will join
our Earth Sciences Department. If interested, have a look to the details of
our vacancy below:
*ABOUT BSC:
The Barcelona Supercomputing Center - Centro Nacional de Supercomputación
(BSC-CNS) is the leading supercomputing center in Spain. It houses
MareNostrum, one of the most powerful supercomputers in Europe, and is a
hosting member of the PRACE European distributed supercomputing
infrastructure. The mission of BSC is to research, develop and manage
information technologies in order to facilitate scientific progress. BSC
combines HPC service provision and R&D into both computer and computational
science (life, earth and engineering sciences) under one roof, and currently
has over 460 staff from 44 countries.
*CONTEXT AND MISSION:
Within the Earth Sciences Department of Barcelona Supercomputing Center
(BSC-ES), led by Prof Francisco Doblas-Reyes, the climate prediction group,
led by Virginie Guemas, aims at developing climate prediction capability for
time scales ranging from a few weeks to a few decades into the future and
from regional to global scales. This objective relies on expanding our
understanding of the climate processes responsible for the predictable part
of the climate variability through a deep analysis of the strengths and
weaknesses of state-of-the-art climate forecast systems in comparison with
the most up-to-date observational datasets, and on exploiting these detailed
analyses to refine the representation of these climate processes in our
climate forecast systems and their correct initialization. This position
requires participation in several projects funded by the European commission
such as: 1. APPLICATE (November 2016 - October 2020) which focuses on
improving the representation of polar climate processes and their linkages
with the mid-latitude climate, as well as improving the performance of
state-of-the-art climate forecast systems in predicting these linkages. 2.
PRIMAVERA (November 2015 - October 2019) which aims at improving the
representation of climate processes in climate models through the use of
ground-breaking resolutions, novel approaches to represent physical
processes and their uncertainties and original sensitivity experiments to
diagnose strengths and weaknesses of state-of-the-art climate models. 3.
INTAROS (November 2016 - October 2020) which focuses on collecting advanced
observations of the polar climate system, gathering them into an efficient
data portal and assess their added-value on a range of applications,
including climate prediction.
*KEY DUTIES:
- Generation of sea ice initial conditions for seasonal-to-decadal
ensemble climate predictions with the dynamical global climate model used by
the climate prediction group, EC-Earth;
- process-based analyses of the main sources of sea ice
predictability well as new ways to infer information on model deficiencies
across time scales;
- evaluation of the impact of new model developments on the Ec-Earth
climate model performance and prediction skill;
- assessment of the mechanisms linking the polar and mid-latitude
climates through the analysis of a wide range of observational and model
databases as well as innovative and coordinated sensitivity experiments;
*REQUIREMENTS:
- Education:
· PhD in physical oceanography, climate physics, applied mathematics
or in a related discipline
- Essential knowledge and Professional Experience
· Proven ability to prepare and submit manuscripts to peer-review
journals
· Experience in ocean/atmosphere modeling or environmental modeling
- Other knowledge
· Knowledge of bash, R, cdo, nco and Python
- Competences
· Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English, while
fluency in other European languages will be also valued
· Highly collaborative spirit - ability to work as part of a large,
strongly-coordinated team and to continuously share both knowledge and tools
· Ability to efficiently communicate results
CONDITIONS:
The position will be located at BSC within the Earth Sciences Department.
The contract will be for two years initially, with the possibility of
renewal depending on performance. A competitive salary will be offered,
matched to the cost of living in Barcelona, and commensurate with the value
and experience of the candidate. The position will start on 1st January 2017
or as soon as possible after that date.

We are happy to announce an open PhD position at the University of Bergen (see below). A 2-year postdoc also connected with this project will be advertised soon. If you are interested or know of any good candidates who might be interested for either, please have them contact the project PI's for more information.
Best,

PhD opportunity in large-scale atmospheric dynamics at the University of Bergen
We'd like to draw your attention to an open PhD position (3 years) in large-scale atmospheric dynamics at the Geophysical Institute, University of Bergen and the Bjerknes Centre for Climate Research. The position is connected to a project on "Dynamics of Arctic-Midlatitude Teleconnections: Mechanisms, robustness and tropical modulation" funded by the Research Council of Norway. The application deadline is 1 November 2016.
This project takes a dynamics-based approach to investigate whether the rapidly changing climate in the Arctic is altering midlatitude atmospheric circulation. Though there are many theories for how Arctic-midlatitude teleconnections operate, there is as of yet no consensus about their importance relative to other influences (e.g., the tropics, the stratosphere). The answer to this question is essential for understanding both year-to-year variations in regional climate and weather extremes, and projecting how these will change in a warming world. The successful candidate will use reanalysis data and numerical models to identify and evaluate candidate mechanisms.
For more details about the positions, instructions on how to submit an application, and contact information, please see:
