atmospheric process group within the Department of Geography at
the University of Cambridge is looking for a Post-doctoral
Research Associate to work on high-resolution (LES) simulations
of atmospheric processes. A new multi-scale atmospheric
modelling framework will be used in two applications: the
simulation of extreme precipitation events in coastal areas and
the study of atmospheric pollution in an urban context. The
influence of climate change and limits of predictability will be
assessed. In addition, existing physical parameterisations such
as cloud microphysics, radiation, surface fluxes and turbulent
mixing will be further developed within the multi-scale
atmospheric modelling framework.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

- Preparing for Extreme And Rare events in coastal regions - and
the UK consortium MAGIC

Managing Air for Green Inner Cities. The main goal of PEARL is
to develop adaptive risk management measures and strategies for
coastal communities against extreme hydro-meteorological events.
MAGIC aims to develop a new modelling capability and decision
support system to reduce air pollution and temperatures in
cities.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

should have a doctorate in atmospheric physics or a related
field and ideally a strong background in high-resolution
modelling of atmospheric processes. Proficiency in computer
programming (e.g. FORTRAN) and model development is expected.
Experience with cloud aerosol microphysical and surface flux
parameterisations or atmospheric chemistry is advantageous.
