<br>
Department of Physical Geography and Ecosystem Science, Lund
University.<br>
Closing date: 24 February 2016.<br>
===========================================================================<br>
<br>
<br>
Work description:<br>
<br>
The work will involve numerical modelling and laboratory
observations:<br>
•Samples of bio-aerosols from Brazil will be analysed in our<br>
laboratories with microbiological and molecular-biological
techniques.<br>
•Our cloud models will be improved so as to resolve the ice-nucleus
(IN)<br>
and cloud-condensation nucleus (CCN) activity of each type of PBAPs.<br>
•Individual clouds will be simulated by our aerosol-cloud models,
with<br>
analysis of the effects from the various types of PBAPs.<br>
•Amazonian mesoscale convective systems will be studied in the same
way.<br>
<br>
<br>
Qualifications:<br>
<br>
Scientists with a strong background in numerical modeling, with<br>
knowledge of mesoscale meteorology, are encouraged to apply.
Candidates<br>
must have a BSc degree in Physics or Biology, in addition to the PhD<br>
degree in Meteorology.<br>
<br>
Candidates must have experience with programming languages in a UNIX<br>
environment, such as FORTRAN or C.<br>
<br>
Additionally, candidates must have examined proficiency, preferably
from<br>
their university education, in:- (1) biology and laboratory<br>
experimentation; (2) mathematics, especially calculus; (3) numerical<br>
methods and/or computer programming; and (4) physical meteorology
(e.g.<br>
cloud physics).<br>
<br>
Experience would be advantageous in optical or electron microscopy.<br>
Examined proficiency in microbiology would be advantageous.<br>
<br>
In their applications, candidates should provide evidence for how
they<br>
meet these requirements.<br>
<br>
This position is a qualifying appointment focused on research, with<br>
intention to be an initial career step.<br>
<br>
Lund University welcomes applicants with diverse backgrounds and<br>
experiences. We regard gender equality and diversity as a strength
and<br>
an asset.<br>
