Postdoctoral Position on Lab Gas-Particle Partitioning using ToF-CIMS
A postdoctoral position is available in the Jimenez Group in CIRES and the Dept. of Chemistry at the University of Colorado-Boulder (http://cires1.colorado.edu/jimenez/), collaboratively with the Ziemann group ([https://sites.google.com/site/ziemanngroup/group). The successful candidate will investigate gas-particle partitioning of organic species in the laboratory, including how the dynamics and equilibria are affected by particle composition and phase state, molecular identity, humidity, temperature, OA, and other factors. A large suite of start-of-the-art instrumentation is available for the project, within two highly dynamic research groups. The key tool will be a real-time High-Resolution Chemical Ionization Mass Spectrometer (CIMS) including a FIGAERO and other inlets, I-, acetate, and NO3- sources, and a new Ion Mobility Spectrometer-CIMS. Participation in field studies and other ongoing projects is also possible. The position will involve extensive use of the new CU Atmospheric Chamber Facility ([http://tinyurl.com/chamber-cu), and also some computer modeling of partitioning equilibrium and kinetics.
Background information about the research group, techniques, and previous publications and projects is available at the Jimenez Group Web Page (http://cires1.colorado.edu/jimenez/). Boulder is a great place to live (see https://vimeo.com/181645979), and it also houses the greatest concentration of atmospheric scientists in the world, thanks to the combined strengths of CU (http://cires1.colorado.edu/jimenez/Analytical/atmos.html) and the NOAA (http://www.esrl.noaa.gov/csd/) and NCAR (https://www2.acom.ucar.edu/) National Labs.
A Ph.D. in chemistry, atmospheric sciences, environmental engineering, or a related discipline is required. Skills in the operation and data interpretation for advanced chemical instrumentation, ideally CIMS, are important. Experience with mass spectrometry, vacuum technology, aerosol instrumentation, as well as computer programming and/or complex data analysis (especially Igor Pro) are highly desirable. Experience with laboratory or field studies of atmospheric chemistry is also desirable. Independence, drive and collaboration will be encouraged in order to develop the candidate's career.
To apply, please submit an application via this CU Careers Link (https://cu.taleo.net/careersection/jobdetail.ftl?job=07063), with a cover letter describing your research interests, a CV, date of availability, 2-3 first-author journal papers in PDF, and a list of 4-5 references who are very familiar with your research work. The initial appointment will be for one year (potentially starting before the end of 2016, depending on candidate availability), with the expectation of annual renewal for two additional years upon satisfactory performance. The University of Colorado is an equal opportunity employer.
Note that another postdoc position on Indoor Air Chemistry measurements w/ ToF-CIMS is expected to be available in early 2017.

Two PhD positions at KIT in Germany: atmospheric dynamics, clouds and
climate change
Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Institute for Meteorology and Climate
Research - Tropospheric Research, Karlsruhe, Germany
The junior research group "Cloud-radiative interactions with the North
Atlantic storm track" led by Dr. Aiko Voigt wishes to recruit two PhD
students. The group studies how diabatic cloud processes interact with
and shape the extratropical circulation and its response to climate
change, with a particular focus on the North Atlantic storm track and
the role of cloud-radiative effects. The group is part of the
BMBF-funded German-wide research initiative "HD(CP)2: High Definition
Clouds and Precipitation for Climate Prediction." HD(CP)2 seeks to
foster understanding of clouds and precipitation processes by combining
high-resolution modeling and observational approaches, and by advancing
the representation of these processes in global climate models aims to
improve projections of short- and long-term climate change. Within
HD(CP)2 the junior research group will articulate the coupling of
small-scale cloud processes with the large-scale circulation of the
extratropics. To this end we study the coupling across a range of
spatial and temporal scales in the new ICON atmosphere model over a
hierarchy of spatial resolutions (large-eddy simulations,
cloud-resolving simulations, resolutions of current global climate
models) and setups (realistic setups, aquaplanets, idealized physics),
and combine these simulations with the analysis of observations and
theoretical approaches.
The PhD position 1 will study the impact of cloud-radiative interactions
on internal variability of the extratropical circulation on timescales
of weeks to months. The PhD position 2 will study how cloud-radiative
interactions shape the response of the extratropical circulation to
global climate change over the next 50 to 100 years. Both students will
have access to the outstanding modeling and observational infrastructure
provided by HD(CP)2 and will have ample opportunities to interact with
scientists from HD(CP)2 as well as the wider German and international
research community. Both positions include a 3-month research visit at
collaborating international research institutions such as the
Laboratoire de Meteorologie Dynamique in Paris, Columbia University in
New York City, or the University of Chicago. The students will also have
the opportunity to join the KIT GRACE graduate school for climate and
environment, which offers mentoring and networking opportunities and a
rich curriculum of academic and soft-skill courses.
For both positions, we are seeking applicants with a Master degree in
meteorology, climate/Earth system science, physics or mathematics. Some
background in numerical modeling or large-scale atmospheric dynamics is
a plus but not required. The positions are offered for a period of 3
years and remunerated according to TV-L E13 75% (approximately 1700 Euro
net salary per month) with extensive social and health care benefits.
The envisioned start date is February/March 2017, but there is some
flexibility in adjusting the start date to accommodate the needs of the
candidates.
Review of applications will begin on November 1, 2016 and will continue
until the positions are filled. Applications shall be directed to the
group leader Dr. Aiko Voigt via email to aiko.voigt@kit.edu in one
pdf-file and shall include (1) a CV, (2) a letter of motivation (2 page
maximum), (3) complete course grades and transcripts and (4) contact
details of at least two references. Please indicate whether your are
applying for position 1, position 2 or both positions.
Inquiries shall be directed to Aiko Voigt, aiko.voigt@kit.edu. More
information about the group can be found at

Subject: [Met-jobs] Postdoctoral fellowship at the CNRM, Toulouse,
France
Message-ID: <1747492691.15654142.1475672698907.JavaMail.root@meteo.fr>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"
Applications are invited for a 11-month postdoctoral position starting early January 2017 , in the climate research group of the CNRM in Toulouse, France (http://www.cnrm.meteo.fr/) to work on the following subject: " Improving the representation of Mediterranean heavy precipitating events over land in a regional climate system model. " The deadline for application is 28 October 2016 .
Context and objectives:
Most regional climate system models (RCSMs) face difficulties in representing a reasonable precipitation probability density function in the Mediterranean. Small amount of rain are too frequent, preventing any reasonable representation of droughts or heat waves, while the intensity of heavy precipitating events is underestimated by most RCSMs. Preliminary analysis of HyMeX/MED-CORDEX (http://www.medcordex.eu) stream 1 simulations, performed by state-of-the-art RCMs, revealed a similar behavior, even though RCSMs can be run at relatively high resolution (from ~10 to ~50 km).
The present postdoctoral fellowship seeks to improve the realism of Mediterranean heavy precipitating events simulated by the CNRM regional atmospheric model. The objective is to improve the model parameterizations, using the process-level knowledge of the events acquired at CNRM during previous studies (e.g., Ducrocq et al 2008, Bresson et al 2012). In this context, the applicant will conduct an in-depth analysis of the physical processes involved in heavy precipitation events in the southeast of France in one or two real cases, comparing CNRM RCSM simulations to convective-permitting simulations performed with the Meso-NH model in a similar set-up. On the one hand, the applicant will analyse the role of a more detailed orography in improving precipitation features. On the other hand, she/he will identify the processes missing in the hydrostatic CNRM RCSM and test new parameterization developments available in the new physics of the CNRM RCSM, such as a parameterization of cold pools generated by convective rainfall evaporation (Grandpeix and Lafore, 2010, Grandpeix et al. 2010) or a parameterization of the interaction between sub-grid orography and convection (Yu 2010).
This position is funded by the French National Agency for Research (ANR) through the REMEMBER (understanding and modelling the REgional climate system ModEls in the Mediterranean for BEtter water-related Risk prevention in the context of global change) project, which lies under the umbrella of the HYdrological cycle in the Mediterranean EXperiment framework (HyMeX – http://www.hymex.org/).
Required qualifications:
1. A Ph.D. in atmospheric sciences obtained before the starting date of the contract.
2. An expertise in convection processes, convection parameterization, modelling of convection either in hydrostatic or convection-permitting models
3. An expertise in Fortran and Unix, and an experience in high computing.
4. A good command of English.
Practical information:
The successful applicant will be contracted by Météo-France and will be based at the "Centre National de Recherches Météorologiques" (Toulouse, France; http://www.cnrm.meteo.fr/) within the climate research group. The opened position will start as soon as possible, possibly early January 2017 for a 11-month duration. The net salary is commensurate with qualifications and experience, ranging from 2000€ to 2700€, after most of the taxes and health insurance premiums have been deducted. Note there might be an additional income tax on top of that, but depending on nationality.
For full consideration, applicants are asked to submit a curriculum vitae (including research experience, publications and conferences, and computing skills), an application letter including a detailed statement of research interest and the names, telephone and email address of 2 referees. Applications should be sent by email before 28 October 2016 to:
romain.roehrig@meteo.fr with copy to Samuel.somot@meteo.fr
Informal enquiries are welcome
