Dear all,
We are currently advertising two post-doctoral positions at the
*University of Reading* as part of the *CSSP-China* programme on the
*Tibetan Plateau*. The CSSP-China programme is funded by the UK
Government Newton Fund and administered by the Met Office.
The two inter-linked positions are:
*(i) **Research scientist in Tibetan Plateau & East Asia climate
variability* to study the role of the Tibetan Plateau in establishing
South and East Asian monsoon circulation patterns and their importance
in East Asian climate variability (reference *SF10100*):
Main contact: Dr Andy Turner - a.g.turner@reading.ac.uk, alternatively
Dr Reinhard Schiemann - r.k.schiemann@reading.ac.uk
Information and application:
https://www.reading.ac.uk/15/about/jobs/about-jobs-search.aspx?searchWords=SF10100
The postholder will perform model experiments to analyse the role of
thermodynamic and mechanical forcing from the Tibetan Plateau on the
establishment and maintenance of regional upper-level jet structures,
the Tibetan High, the South and East Asian monsoons and climate
variability downstream over East Asia.
The applicant will have:
-A Ph.D. or equivalent in physical or mathematical sciences
-Experience of running GCMs, ideally the Met Office Unified Model
-Strong scientific computing skills
-An understanding of physical processes relating to weather and climate*
(ii) Research scientist in Tibetan Plateau atmospheric circulation &
hydroclimate* to perform observational and modelling analysis on the
role of the Tibetan Plateau on East Asian hydroclimate and atmospheric
circulation including jet-stream dynamics (reference *SF10099*):
Main contact: Dr Reinhard Schiemann - r.k.schiemann@reading.ac.uk, or Dr
Andy Turner - a.g.turner@reading.ac.uk
Information and application:
https://www.reading.ac.uk/15/about/jobs/about-jobs-search.aspx?searchWords=SF10099
The postholder will analyse observations and model results to identify
and understand the processes that describe atmospheric variability in
the TP region and the hydroclimate of the eastern TP (headwaters of the
Yellow/Yangtze rivers), and assess the representation of these processes
in model simulations and their predictability on seasonal time scales.
The applicant will have:
A Ph.D. or equivalent in physical or mathematical sciences
Substantial experience of data analysis and computer programming
Understanding of physical processes relating to weather and climate
The start date of both positions is as soon as possible, and they are

The Nesbitt Research Group has several fully-funded student openings
available in the area of clouds, precipitation, mesoscale meteorology, and
remote sensing, beginning in January 2016. The application deadline
is *October
15*.
The projects include:
- A NASA-funded project to investigate the interaction between surface
winds surrounding oceanic precipitation systems as retrieved from ocean
scatterometer winds, state of the art reanalyses, and current generation
satellite precipitation estimates to study the life cycle of oceanic
precipitation. This work is in collaboration with Dr. Timothy Lang at
NASA?s Marshall Space Flight Center.
- A NASA-funded project to use multi-frequency radar and in situ data
collected in NASA Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) Ground Validation
field campaigns to improve satellite precipitation retrievals. This
research is in collaboration with Illinois professor Greg McFarquhar.
- A Department of Energy-funded observational and modeling project to
investigate the characteristics of convectively-generated cold pools and
their dynamical interaction with convective systems. This research is to
be conducted in collaboration with Illinois professors Jeff Trapp and
Sonia-Lasher Trapp.
The Department of Atmospheric Sciences (http://www.atmos.illinois.edu) at
the University of Illinois is a leader in physical meteorology and
high-impact weather and climate studies and the faculty are developing a
state of the art mobile precipitation-aerosol observatory. The Illinois
campus is home to the largest supercomputer on any university campus, and
is the most internationally-diverse public university campus in the US.
If you have interest in any of these projects, please do not hesitate to
contact me (snesbitt@illinois.edu). Additional information about
application requirements (particularly for non-US students) is available

2-3 Positions:
Post-doctoral researcher, Ph.D. student or science programmer in
Modelling terrestrial biogeochemical cycles, climate change-land use
change interactions and feedbacks
Land-use and land-cover changes (LULCC) are a major contributor to
global and regional climate change. Yet our quantitative understanding
of the manifold LULCC - climate interactions is still poor. In order to
improve our knowledge of climate change impacts on a number of
terrestrial ecosystem processes, and of the impacts of LULCC on climate
change in turn, we have funding available that could be used /for
either post-doctoral researchers, Ph.D. students and/or a scientific
programmer, depending on the availability and qualification of
candidates/.
In particular we seek to work on the following topics:
--Effects of forest management, secondary forest re-growth and mortality
on terrestrial carbon balance
--Coupling models of land-use change with models of terrestrial
ecosystems to assess land-system feedbacks (including agent-based modelling)
--Climate change feedbacks: Land-atmosphere biophysical and
biogeochemical exchange processes in the Earth system
--Model evaluation, visualisation of model output, development of
meta-models and emulators
The work is based on applying the dynamic global vegetation model
LPJ-GUESS, and will contribute to the further development and
application of the Earth System model EC Earth. The work could also
contributes to developing new coupled land-use change ? vegetation
models (e.g., agent-based modelling).
Funding for these positions is through the EU FP7 (e.g., LUC4C.eu), and
the Helmholtz Association. The projects are conducted in close
collaboration with Lund University, Sweden, and other institutions in
Europe and worldwide. The appointees must be willing to travel on a
regular basis (visit partner institutions, attend project meetings), and
have very good spoken and written skills in the English language. The
work will also include contribution to project management and a small
amount of teaching.
Requirements for all positions:
1)Ph.D. or M.Sc. degree in a quantitative environmental sciences
discipline, for instance meteorology, environmental sciences,
environmental economics, plant ecophysiology. Applications from
candidates who are close to completion of their Ph.D. or M.Sc. degree
will also be considered
2)Documented experience in a programming language (ideally: C++), and
simulations on Linux clusters
3)Documented experience in the statistical analysis and visualisation of
large data-sets
4)Sense of responsibility, ability to meet deadlines, enjoy working
within a multi-disciplinary team
Funding will be for a maximum of three years, depending on qualification
and performance.
We offer a position in a young and active team that is placed within a
multi-disciplinary, collaborative research environment with excellent
research infrastructure and support. Salary and benefits will be based
on the Collective Agreement for the German Public Service Sector. The
KIT is the fusion of the former University of Karlsruhe and the
Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe, combining the missions of a university and
that of a national research centre in the Helmholtz-Association. The
work is based in the KIT?s Department for Atmospheric Environmental
Research, located in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany.
Applications must include:
-- the preferred level of position (Ph.D. student, post-doctoral
researcher, programmer)
-- curriculum vitae
-- list of publications (for applicants at post-doc level)
-- copy of university certificates
-- short outline of own skills with respect to the position
requirements, and a statement which of the topics listed above would be
of interest
-- contact information of two (Ph.D. student, scientific programmer) or
three (post-doc level) professional referees.

Research;

Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany.
Complete applications should be received by 1 November 2015. Only
complete applications from candidates who fit the outlined profile will
receive full consideration. Foreseen starting date is in the spring of
2016, but the positions will remain open until a suitable candidate has
been identified. KIT strives to achieve gender balance at all levels of
employment. We therefore particularly encourage female candidates to
apply for this position. With appropriate qualifications, applications
from persons with handicaps will be treated with preference.
