The Earth Observation and Remote Sensing Group at ETH Zurich is seeking
a PhD student who will monitor rapid permafrost degradation with
TanDEM-X satellite observations. The goal of the project is to improve
our knowledge of large-scale permafrost dynamics and the permafrost
carbon feedback. Specifically, the objectives are to provide
high-resolution (10-15 m) subsidence maps on regional to sub-continental
scales, to automatically detect rapid permafrost thaw from these maps
and quantify the uncertainties, and to characterize the distribution and
magnitude of rapid permafrost degradation.
The successful candidate has strong analytical skills and programming
experience in Matlab, Python, C/C++, or equivalent. Prior experience in
working with large data sets will be highly advantageous for the project.

Research Scientist/Postdoctoral Researcher Opportunity - Carbon cycling in thawing permafrost peatlands
The University of New Hampshire has a Research Scientist II (or Postdoctoral Researcher) opening for a DOE-funded project. The successful candidate will be located in Berkeley, California at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL), but will work with project members at multiple institutions on this multi-disciplinary project. The project focuses on the carbon cycle in thawing permafrost peatlands, related plant and microbial processes, and climate feedbacks. The position calls for expertise in numerical methods for land-surface modeling; uncertainty quantification; parameter estimation; and microbial biochemistry, abiotic, and plant processes and interactions.
The successful candidate may focus on several relevant processes, questions, and scales, related to coupled hydrological and biogeochemical dynamics, nutrient and carbon interactions, plant and microbe interactions, and climate feedbacks. We are also interested in developing methods to evaluate, against observations, process level and emergent model responses, and in developing model benchmarking approaches.
Essential Qualifications:
• Ph.D. in an appropriate discipline;
• Graduate Student or Postdoctoral research experience in ecosystem modeling, with specific modeling skills in coupled hydrological, biogeochemical, and atmospheric processes;
• Excellent written and oral communication skills, including scientific writing and presentation skills;
• Ability to develop, test, run, and analyze multi-scale coupled hydrological and biogeochemical cycle models;
• Good knowledge of site- to watershed-scale hydrological and biogeochemical dynamics;
• Ability to work collaboratively.
To apply, go to this web page: <http://jobs.usnh.edu/postings/24384>

Position Announcement
Land use modeling postdoctoral position at NCAR
National Center for Atmospheric Research
Boulder, Colorado
Application deadline: December 16, 2016
The Integrated Assessment Modeling group at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) in Boulder, Colorado, seeks a postdoctoral researcher in spatial modeling of land use change to develop and apply models at the US and global scale with a focus on agriculture. Key functions in this position are to (1) analyze and employ historical land use and land cover data, including crop-specific changes in agricultural land use, to calibrate and validate existing statistical models of land use change; (2) plan and carry out spatial model development on the basis of evaluation results; and (3) interact with integrated assessment and land surface modelers (including those employing the NCAR Community Land Model, CLM) to incorporate land use change in analyses of climate effects on agriculture, energy, land, and water.
The successful applicant will join an interdisciplinary research group at NCAR that includes both social and natural scientists working on the climate change issue (see <https://www2.cgd.ucar.edu/sections/tss/iam>). The group develops and applies new socio-economic models, and linkages to climate models, that leverage NCAR's status as a world-leading climate modeling center.
The position requires expertise in spatial land use data and modeling at regional to global scales, especially related to agricultural land use; experience with spatial statistical approaches to land use modeling; and proficiency in scientific programming in a suitable language (e.g. R, Python, Matlab) and familiarity with Fortran. Experience working in a UNIX environment, and with geographic information systems, is desirable.
This is a full-time two-year term position. For a detailed job description and instructions on how to apply, see
For more information on the position, contact Brian O'Neill (email: <boneill@ucar.edu>).

The University of Exeter has an exciting PhD project which explores the interface between the natural and social sciences, using the human response to hazards and impacts through social media, to map their occurrence for more scientific purposes. The Met Office is in the business of issuing warnings of hazards and related impacts using a likelihood-severity classification (http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/guide/weather/warnings). The Met Office is also part of the Natural Hazards Partnership (http://www.naturalhazardspartnership.org.uk/). Whilst this is not a Met Office CASE studentship close collaboration between the Met Office and the University of Exeter is anticipated.
