Postdoc Position, Palaeoclimatology, Switzerland
The Institute of Earth Surface Dynamics, University of Lausanne, Switzerland invites applications for a Postdoctoral research position in the field of Palaeoclimatology. This is a full-time position for up to 3 years funded by the Fonds National Suisse (FNS).
Project
The Postdoc will work within the FNS funded HORNET project to reconstruct and understand the mechanisms driving Holocene climate change over the Northern Hemisphere.
Current climate models have difficulty reproducing the seasonal and regional nature of Holocene climate change. One explanation is that models underestimate the role of the atmospheric circulation, which has an important impact on regional and seasonal climate anomalies. The HORNET project will investigate this problem by developing a new spatially and seasonally explicit gridded reconstruction of Northern Hemisphere climate change throughout the last 12,000 years based on pollen data. This will provide the basis for investigating the role of atmospheric dynamics using model simulations, modern analogue circulation patterns, and records of circulation modes based on other proxies.
The project is directed by Dr Basil Davis, together with Prof. Jed Kaplan, and based within the ARVE research group at the University of Lausanne, Switzerland.
Candidate Profile
The candidate should hold a PhD in climate sciences, palaeo-environmental sciences or equivalent. A strong background in climate science and/or quantitative palaeoecology is required, ideally in relation to the Quaternary period.
An aptitude and interest in the quantitative, spatial and statistical analysis of palaeoclimate and palaeoenvironmental data is essential. Experience in handling large datasets, databases, climate model output and data-model comparisons, transfer-functions, programming and spatial analysis is highly recommended.
English is the working language of the research group. The candidate is therefore expected to have excellent skills in written and spoken English. The language of the University and region is French and the candidate will be encouraged to develop a basic competence in French, although the ability to speak French is not a requirement of the position.
Employment
The starting date is to be as soon as possible, and no later than February 2017. The position is for 1 year in the first instance, renewable for a further 2 years to a maximum of 3 years. Salary will be on the FNS scale between approximately 82-87K CHF (approx. equivalent to 83-88K USD, 76-81K EURO, 66-70K GBP).
Applications
The application should be in the form of two pdf documents containing the following:
1. Motivation Letter & Full Curriculum Vitae
2. Any additional research output in electronic format (MSc diploma thesis, PhD thesis, research reports, proceedings papers or other scientific publications)
We will begin to consider applications immediately, and will continue to accept applications until the position is filled. Applicants are therefore encouraged to apply as soon as possible.
Further information
For informal enquiries please contact Dr Basil Davis (basil.davis@unil.ch <mailto:basil.davis@unil.ch>)
