The Met Office is world-leading in weather and climate services and we're continuously developing innovative ways to enhance and optimise our capabilities. Our Atmospheric Dispersion and Air Quality (ADAQ) group is recruiting scientists to improve our atmospheric dispersion modelling capability through developing and using the NAME dispersion model. NAME provides the Met Office's atmospheric dispersion research and emergency response capability and is used to advise a wide range of stakeholders on the dispersion, deposition and impact of material released in a range of incidents such as large fires, nuclear power station accidents, volcanic eruptions and animal and plant diseases. The work offers a highly diverse range of opportunities, with projects on core atmospheric physics as well as on relevant chemical, radiological, biological and volcanological processes. Model performance and interpretation are key elements, especially when applied in protecting life, and so the work also includes wider model development, analysis, and validation. The successful candidate will be motivated by seeing science developed and applied in tackling real world and often critical situations. The work sits in a highly multi-disciplinary field and the job holder will be involved in collaborations with academia and government and international agencies.
Work in ADAQ is varied and the role may include some or all of the following depending on the skill set of the individual:
1. Contribute to the improvement of the NAME physics schemes and model functionality.
2. Develop enhanced operational response capability in the areas of volcanic ash/gas, biomass burning, industrial accidents, radiological, etc to provide targeted decision-making advice to our customers
3. Conduct model validation and improvement using data from field campaigns and real world events.
4. Conduct model sensitivity studies to explore the importance and impact of model improvements and also the propagation of uncertainty in dispersion forecasts.
5. Participate in and develop scientific projects with collaborators in academia and other agencies.
Applications are open until 25 Nov 2016

Dear Colleague,
I would be grateful, if you could forward the position announcement
below to any interested candidates - many thanks.
-----
Researcher position in biogeochemical ocean modelling at UiB:
There is a vacancy for a researcher position at the Geophysical
Institute (Faculty of Mathematics and Natural sciences and the Bjerknes
Centre for Climate Research at the University of Bergen, Norway) in the
field of biogeochemical ocean modelling. The successful candidate will
work on further developing the sediment module of the global
biogeochemical ocean model within the Norwegian Earth system model
NorESM. The results will be used for elucidating the role of past
changes in circulation and matter cycling as a basis for more reliable
projections of future climate.
The position is for a period of 2 years and is externally funded through
the RCN project ORGANIC - Overturning circulation and its implications
for global carbon cycle in coupled models. UiB has a long-term
commitment to contribute to excellence in climate research within the
Bjerknes Centre for Climate research. UiB offers a lively and supportive
research environment for Earth system science.
Further information and the link to the application form are available here:
Any applications must be made via this link through Jobbnorge.
Closure date for applications is 16 November 2016.

Best wishes, Christoph Heinze
