We would like to advertise a Winter School entitled "Diversity of planetary circulation regimes, in our solar system and beyond", taking place March 6-10, 2017 at the Les Houches Physics center (http://houches.ujf-grenoble.fr/ ) based in Les Houches, France.
We will present the recent observational data and modelling studies pertaining to the variety of planetary atmospheres circulation regimes, including giant and terrestrial planets. We will also discuss the theory of planetary physical processes (e.g. circulation, dynamics, thermodynamics, radiative transfer, cloud microphysics) and review the current status of the modelling of planetary atmospheres in order to calculate observables such as light curves. This interdisciplinary school wishes to contribute to bridging the gap between Earth science, planetary science, and astrophysics.
The Physics school of Les Houches is located in the French Alps (Savoy) and has been hosting worldwide renowned training and scientific events since 1951. Lodging and food are provided on site. Ample time will be reserved for individual and joint social activities. Arrival of participants is possible after 3 pm on Sunday March 5th.
All practical information concerning reaching the location of the school and the available facilities can be found at: https://houches.univ-grenoble-alpes.fr/en/
Topics that will be addressed are the following:
- What are the various circulation regimes of Earth, Solar system planets and exoplanets (theory/observation)?
- What have we learned from Earth climate dynamics that can be applied to exoplanets?
- Which properties are relevant for habitability?
- How can we use knowledge of planetary physics to better understand the Earth climate system and its response to forcings?
- How do the very diverse radiation regimes affect the circulation? What are the main feedbacks?
- How to deal with complex processes such as clouds, shocks, lightenings, hydrological cycle, weathering?
- How to construct flexible modeling tools?
Lectures will be delivered by about 20 speakers. The number of additional participants is limited to 50. The deadline to apply is January, 15th 2017, and early applicants will be given priority. The participants will be encouraged to bring over a poster for presenting their research activities. Full or partial financial support will be provided to selected participants. Details for registration are given in the school website: http://leshouchesplanets2017.zmaw.de/

Hi,
Could you please post these open positions.
Best Wishes, Ibrahim

*One Research Scientist and Three Postdoc Positions Open in Ocean Data
Assimilation, Forecasting and Visualization at KAUST*
One research scientist and three postdoc positions are open at KAUST as part
of a new joint initiative between KAUST, MIT, Scripps Institution of
Oceanography, and Plymouth Marine Laboratory aiming at developing advanced
stochastic/ensemble regional and coastal data assimilation, short and
seasonal forecasting, transport, and visualization capabilities for the Red
Sea. The successful candidates will join an already established
multidisciplinary group at KAUST working on ocean and atmospheric modeling,
data assimilation and uncertainty quantification led by Professors Ibrahim
Hoteit and Omar Knio. Strong interpersonal qualities from the candidates
will be appreciated as he/she will be working in a highly collaborative
environment and will be expected to spend a part of their time at the
collaborating institutions.
Qualified applicants should possess a Ph.D. in Oceanography, Meteorology,
Applied Mathematics, Computer Science, or a related field. Background and
expertise in one or more of these following areas will be considered when
selecting the candidates: Ocean Modeling, Coastal Ocean, Data assimilation,
Large-Scale Uncertainty quantification, Ocean Forecasting, Seasonal
Forecasting, Transport Phenomena, Large-Scale Visualization, and High
Performance Computing. Applicants should be able to work in a collaborative
and multidisciplinary environment involving extensive codes developments
and real data with a minimal amount of supervision. Experience in using
supercomputers under Linux and parallel coding environments is a must. The
successful candidates will closely work with the KAUST high performance
computing and visualization core labs equipped with a Cray supercomputer (
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaheen_(supercomputer)) and sophisticated
visualization facilities (https://kvl.kaust.edu.sa/Pages/Facilities.aspx).
The initial appointment period is for two years with a competitive salary
based on the candidate's qualifications (no income tax paid to the
Kingdom of Saudi Arabia). Benefits include medical and dental
insurances, moving expenses to KAUST, free furnished housing while at
KAUST, free international schools, family annual travel allowance to visit
home country and annual payed vacation. To apply, please send curriculum
vitae and a letter of interest with the names and contact information of at
least two references to ibrahim.hoteit@kaust.edu.sa and
omar.kio@kaust.edu.sa.
