*Atmospheric Scientist, Asiaq, Greenland Survey*
We offer a challenging permanent position for an atmospheric researcher at Asiaq, Greenland Survey. Asiaq is leading the ClimateBasis sub-programme of the Greenland Ecosystem Monitoring Project (GEM, www.g-e-m.dk<http://www.g-e-m.dk>). ClimateBasis' mission is to provide reliable data for interdisciplinary ecosystem studies that cover atmospheric, water and snow parameters since 1996 in Zackenberg, Northeast Greenland, since 2007 in Nuuk, Southwest Greenland and since 2016 in Qeqertarsuaq, West Greenland. The spatial expansion of the program also led to significant new instrumentation with a focus on boundary layer stability and clouds as an energy balance modulator. A HATPRO Microwave radiometer and several automated hemispherical sky cameras are operating. The researcher will be responsible for maintaining/calibrating the instruments and for quality control, processing and analysis of the data. A climatology of boundary layer stability, inversion height, cloud cover and cloud type will be related to other parameters relevant for the cryosphere (e.g., sea ice cover and snow pack variability) and ecosystems (e.g., vegetation gradients). In a further step the data should be used for testing atmospheric model performance in case studies and a connection to other monitoring sites in Greenland with boundary layer research is envisaged. Tight collaboration with international partners within GEM and beyond is envisaged and facilitated. Scientific publishing and proposal writing will be an important component of this position.
You are an atmospheric scientist with an excellent publication record and a well-established international network. Ideally, you have experience with boundary layer research in the Arctic, microwave radiometry and the cloud/energy balance nexus or at least some of these areas. Your programming skills are excellent and processing of large data amounts and/or database handling is natural to you. You are excited about working in an international environment, have experimental field experience and can imagine living in fascinating Greenland. Excellent spoken and written English is required.
Asiaq is a company owned by the Greenland Government and is responsible for monitoring the non-living environment in Greenland. Asiaq consists of a mapping, geotechnic/surveying, remote sensing and a hydrology and climate group with ca 25 flexible, interdisciplinary and international employees. Our tasks range from the commercial via the consultancy to research sectors.
Employment conditions follow the agreement between the Greenland Governement and the respective union and are competitive at international standards. Workplace is Nuuk, Greenland's capital with its thriving multi-ethnic community and its endless outdoor opportunities in the backyard. Asiaq will cover relocation to Greenland for the employee, partner and children.
Application deadline is 10-02-2017 and the position will be filled as soon as possible.
Please send a letter of motivation, a CV, a list of publications, relevant exam records and contact information for two referees with subject 'Researcher - atmosphere' to: asiaq@asiaq.gl<mailto:asiaq@asiaq.gl>
Find information on Asiaq, products, tasks and research on http://www.asiaq.gl<http://www.asiaq.gl/>. You are welcome to contact Dr Jakob Abermann for additional information under +299-348852 or via jab@asiaq.gl<mailto:jab@asiaq.gl>

Geography and Hydrology.
Job description
A two-year postdoctoral research position is sought within the research
area "Impacts of climate variability and change on the Earth's physical
system". Unusual or extreme weather and climate-related events are of
great public concern and a key question is whether such events are
likely to become more (or less) frequent in the coming decades and
whether we are already observing such changes. Focus is on the impacts
of climate variability and change, in particular extreme weather and
climate-related events (e.g., extreme precipitation or temperature,
prolonged dry and wet spells, rain-on-snow events) on the terrestrial
part of the hydrological cycle. Such water related physical impacts
include floods, dry soils, low groundwater levels and river flows, high
water temperatures, reduced snow cover and frozen ground. The work will
embrace an understanding of how impacts may overlap and interact in time
and space, leading to increased exposure.
The work aims to maximize the integration of available observational and
model data for impact assessment, addressing the large uncertainties in
future projections and the need for a better understanding of the
potential impacts of extreme hydrometeorological events. The region of
interest is northern Europe, but other regions with similar
hydroclimatological conditions may be considered as well. Various
analytical and modelling tools are relevant, including statistical
approaches, regional climate modelling and large-scale hydrological (or
land surface) models to support extreme weather and climate-related
impact studies.
The fellowship is interdisciplinary and the candidate will work closely
with researchers from other sections, foremost meteorologists, and
contribute to existing climate and climate impact research at the
department, including related activities within the strategic research
area LATICE (<http://mn.uio.no/latice>). International collaboration
will be encouraged building on already well-established networks.
Requirements/qualifications:
Applicants must have a doctoral degree in a hydrology, meteorology or
related geo-scientific field with documented knowledge relevant for the
qualifications given above.
Candidates should have a good process understanding of Earth System
Sciences and have documented experience in assessing the impact of
climate variability and change on the physical system. The successful
candidate should further demonstrate:
Strong quantitative skills, including large-scale modelling and data
analysis Ability to work with large data sets, combining observations
and model simulations Technical expertise in computer software and
programming A proven track record in peer-reviewed publications Evidence
of creativity and capability of independent research
Applications are encouraged from dedicated candidates with excellent
writing and communication skills, good cooperation skills and ability to
work in a highly team-orientated environment.

Dear all
I would like to advertise a 2+ year Post-Doctoral Position at the University of Applied Sciences Northwestern Switzerland.
We are looking for an early career researcher with an affinity for practical work in the laboratory. Your experience in optics is needed because you are expected to further develop photothermal interferometry as a new tool to measure aerosol light absorption.
The job description and further information are found in the attached pdf.
If you need more details, please contact me.
Best regards
Dr. Ernest Weingartner
Institute for Aerosol and Sensor Technology
