<div>We’d like to draw your attention to an open PhD position (3
years) in large-scale atmospheric dynamics at the Geophysical
Institute, University of Bergen and the Bjerknes Centre for
Climate Research. The position is connected to a project on "<span
style="font-family:Arial" lang="EN-GB">Dynamics of
Arctic-Midlatitude Teleconnections: </span><span
style="font-family:Arial">Mechanisms, robustness and tropical
modulation"</span><span style="font-family:Arial" lang="EN-GB"> funded
by the Research </span><span style="font-family:Arial"
lang="EN-GB">Council of Norway. The application deadline is 1
November 2016.</span>
<div><span style="font-family:Arial"><br>
</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:Arial">This project takes a
dynamics-based approach to investigate whether the rapidly
changing climate in the Arctic is altering midlatitude
atmospheric circulation. Though there are many theories for
how Arctic-midlatitude teleconnections operate, there is as of
yet no consensus about their importance relative to other
influences (e.g., the tropics, the stratosphere). The answer
to
this question is essential for understanding both
year-to-year variations in regional climate and weather
extremes, and projecting how these will change in a warming
world. </span>The successful candidate will use reanalysis
data and numerical models to identify and evaluate candidate
mechanisms.</div>
