Dear Colleague,

I would once again appreciate it if you could circulate this new postdoc
opportunity for my NERC AMUSED project (closing date is 30-Oct and
interviews will be held in November).

My apologies for sending this email again but because some of the
information regarding this job vacancy post has been updated in the
University of Bristol website, the old link is no longer available. Please,
find the information below with the new live link.

Best regards,

Rafael

*Research Assistant or Research Associate in Land Surface Modeling and Soil
Moisture Scaling*

*Summary:*  A postdoctoral position is available to evaluate
the performance of the Joint UK Land Environment Simulator (JULES) in
reproducing soil moisture dynamics and key land-atmosphere interactions in
the UK at hyper-spatial resolution in combination with novel cosmic-ray
soil moisture technology and remote sensing products. A PhD in
meteorology/hydrology or related disciplines (e.g. environmental science)
with an interest in land-atmosphere interactions, numerical modeling,
remote sensing, and data assimilation is essential.

This 30-month appointment (with potential extension to 36 months) is part
of the NERC-funded project AMUSED (A MUlti-scale Soil
moisture-Evapotranspiration Dynamics study) whose ultimate goal is to
identify the spatiotemporal scale-dependency of key dominant processes that
control changes in soil moisture and land-atmosphere interactions. AMUSED
will employ new innovative technology for soil moisture monitoring using
cosmic-rays sensors in combination with land surface modeling, satellite
remote sensing, and data assimilation methods. Some fieldwork will take
place, especially at the initial stages of the project to deploy and
install/calibrate cosmic-ray soil moisture sensors. For more information
about AMUSED, please visit http://www.bris.ac.uk/cabot/news/2014/502.html.

*Required skills* include experience using land surface models (e.g.,
JULES, CLM, Noah, VIC) to predict soil-vegetation-atmosphere interactions,
some programming knowledge (e.g., Fortran or C) and experience with Linux
operating system, demonstrated ability to publish peer-reviewed papers,
effective written and oral communication skills, willingness to work in
a team, in an academic research environment, and development collaborative
links.

*Desired skills* include knowledge of hydrometeorology, land-atmosphere
interactions, data assimilation and/or remote sensing, and some previous
experience with fieldwork activities.

For informal inquiries, please contact Dr Rafael Rosolem (
