The Centre for Atmospheric Science (CAS) at the University of
Manchester, is offering a PhD project in the field of "Cloud
micro-physical processes and properties observed from research aircraft
and multi-frequency radar." The project will be based around the
recently funded PICASSO project, which utilises world leading aircraft
and radar facilities in collaboration with partners at NASA, the UK Met
Office and ECMWF.
Projects are due to start in September 2017, with an application
deadline of 3rd February 2017.
Application procedure:
https://www.liverpool.ac.uk/studentships-earth-atmosphere-ocean/how-to-apply/
Funding Criteria:
Our studentships are funded by NERC and are available to UK nationals
and other EU nationals that have resided in the UK for three years prior
to commencing the studentship. If you meet this criteria, funding will
be provided for tuition fees and stipend. Students from EU countries who
do not meet the residency requirements may still be eligible for a
fees-only award. Overseas students may be able to join the programme but
will need to have arranged funding from other sources.

Subject: [Met-jobs] PhD position in mineral dust modelling
Message-ID: <5A4CBC0E-65D2-41C9-B1BD-3B7515922A5A@tropos.de>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"
The Leibniz Institute for Tropospheric Research e.V. (TROPOS) in Leipzig (Germany) is seeking a
PhD Student
to join the research team working on the atmospheric mineral dust life-cycle and mechanism controlling its variability. The post is located in the Modelling Department at TROPOS.
The position is part of the project consortium "Spread of antibiotic resistance in an agrarian landscape" (SOARiAL) lead by the German Collection of Microorganisms and Cell Cultures (DSMZ) and funded by the Leibniz Association. It aims at quantifying dust-associated emission of antibiotic-resistant bacteria from agricultural land and assessing the risk of dust-associated transmission of pathogens.
The successful candidate will work with the atmosphere-aerosol model system COSMO-MUSCAT. The main task will be to revisit and improve the currently implemented dust emission module regarding the representation of dust emission from arable land.
Subject to funding, the open position is limited to three years. The salary level is according to the German public service regulation (65% TV-L 13). The position will start ideally on 1 March 2017 or soon thereafter.
Applicants will have a University Master degree in atmospheric physics, meteorology, physics or related environmental science disciplines. The candidate will have a strong interest in environmental processes, in particular processes at the interface soil surface – atmosphere, and a strong interest in atmospheric modeling and numerical model development. Fluent English in written and oral form is mandatory. We are offering the possibility to work in an interdisciplinary team at a highly renowned atmospheric research institute, and in one of the most attractive cities in Germany. Female researchers are especially encouraged to apply. Among candidates of equal aptitude and qualifications, preference will be given to a disabled person.
Please send your application including a letter of motivation, CV, and transcripts until 27 January 2017 to:
Dr. Kerstin Schepanski
Leibniz Institute for Tropospheric Research (TROPOS)
Permoserstr. 15
04318 Leipzig, Germany

Deadline Extended to 15th January
Opportunity for Early Stage Researchers
Researcher Links Workshop: Communication, interpretation and use of climate information for development
Coordinators: Prof Suraje Dessai, SRI, University of Leeds & Prof Coleen Vogel, University of Witwatersrand.
Mentors: Dr Joe Daron (Met Office, UK), Dr Katharine Vincent (Kulima Integrated Development Solutions, South Africa), Dr Admire Nyamwanza (Human Sciences Research Council of South Africa), and Dr Rachel James (University of Oxford, UK)
Discipline: Climate and environmental sciences, social science and related disciplines
Dates and venue: 6-8th March 2017, Cape Town, South Africa
The programme, 'British Council Researcher Links' provides opportunities for early career researchers from the UK and internationally to interact, learn from each other and explore opportunities for building long-lasting research collaborations. As part of this programme, we are now recruiting early career researchers to participate in the above workshop.
Workshop Theme
Appropriate communication, interpretation and use of climate information are critical in addressing the challenges that climate variability and change pose to the sustainable development of society. This interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary workshop will focus on contemporary issues in climate change adaptation and the development of climate services in three key sectors: water resources, food security and agriculture. These have been identified as priority sectors in the Global Framework on Climate Services (GFCS) and are central to socio-economic development and social welfare in South Africa and the UK. With uncertainties in future climate projections for South Africa and the UK there is an urgency to improve both scientific understanding and provision of timely climate information to guide development decisions over the next 10 to 15 years.
Effective and equitable long-term solutions require robust scientific knowledge from inter- and trans-disciplinary collaborations drawing on experiences across countries, climates and cultures. The workshop extends beyond climate science to enable sharing of knowledge and methods that span natural, social and applied sciences. Topics that will be addressed at the workshop include:
* Effective and efficient development and communication of climate information for use in society
* Co-development of climate services - involving producers, providers and users
* The use of climate information to enhance economic development and social welfare.
The workshop follows the Fifth International Conference on Climate Services (ICCS5) in Cape Town (28th Feb - 2nd Mar 2017). The outcomes of the ICCS5 conference will to feed into the workshop, enabling the workshop to build on issues identified by attending stakeholders.
Application and Deadline
Deadline for applications is 15th January 2017. Further information, including the full call for participants and details on how to apply, can be found on the workshop website: http://climate.leeds.ac.uk/opportunities/workshop-communication-interpretation-and-use-of-climate-information-for-development/
