Hi all,

We had a great discussion this morning after our hike about the challenges
surrounding job hunting for grad students and postdocs.  A couple of
listservs were mentioned and Manuela was kind enough to forward the
information for one of the lists.
Thanks to all who attended and thank you Manuela for sending this.

Hi everyone,

Thanks for setting up this great hike and discussion earlier today!
During the discussion, the Met-Jobs list was mentioned and I wasn't sure if
you are aware of that, so here are today's Met-Jobs that have been
circulated via the list.
People can subscribe to it via the link at the very end.

You may want to circulate the link or this example of a list (there is
usually at least one email per day with a varying number of positions.

Manuela

*Applying a new adaptive multi-scale atmospheric modelling framework
(Post-doctoral Research Position, fixed term)*

The Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics and the
Department of Geography at the University of Cambridge is looking for a
joint 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 a new multi-scale atmospheric modelling framework.

The post is part of two projects: the European Consortium PEARL
http://www.pearl-fp7.eu - Preparing for Extreme And Rare events in
coastaL regions - and the UK consortium MAGIC http://www.magic-air.uk -
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.

In collaboration with Imperial College, London a new adaptive
multi-scale multi-physical atmospheric modelling framework has been
developed by combining existing physical modules from the Cambridge LES
model ATHAM (Active Tracer High-resolution Atmospheric Model) with
Imperial College's dynamical core FLUIDITY on an unstructured mesh that
allows for grid adaptation. Simulations of past and hypothetical future
test cases will be performed. For PEARL, one of the selected case
studies will be investigated in greater detail and input will be
provided to wave, ocean and hydrological models for the assessment of
flooding and its impact in coastal environments. Within MAGIC, air
pollution on building to neighbourhood scales will be assessed. To this
end, a number of physical processes such as radiation, surface fluxes
and sub-grid turbulence within ATHAM-FLUIDITY will be improved. An
atmospheric chemistry module will be added.

The post involves travel to international conferences and project
meetings. There will be the possibility to co-advise doctoral students
and potentially other teaching opportunities.

Applicants 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.

Informal inquiries should be directed to Dr Michael Herzog by email,
mh526 at cam.ac.uk <mailto:mh526 at cam.ac.uk>.

Fixed term: The funds for this post are available for 24 months in the
first instance.
Salary range: £30,175-£38,183 depending on experience.
Closing date: 17 August 2017.
Interviews will take place w/c 4th September 2017

3-year post-doctoral position at LSCE: joint assimilation of atmospheric
CO2 and co-emitted tracers from space and ground based networks to infer
CO2 emissions
Fossil fuel and cement CO2 emissions are the largest forcing of climate
change and they are so far only estimated by inventories, with
uncertainties arising from the carbon content and the oxidized fraction of
carbon fuels. Uncertainties in emissions are larger when considering
countries and cities rather than nations. Satellite imagery of column CO2
and tracers co-emitted by the combustion of carbon fuels offer the
possibility to improve these emissions estimates at various scales, using
atmospheric inversion techniques. Several imagers onboard satellites are
proposed in Europe, in the US and in China, but research is needed about
how to best combine information on CO2 from space and from the ground, and
on fossil fuel tracers like radiocarbon in atmospheric CO2, CO and NOx to
reduce uncertainty in emissions, at scales going from cities to regions and
up to countries.
The successful candidate will develop and use the high-resolution
atmospheric inversion model developed by LSCE to estimate the performance
of future space-borne CO2 imagery in quantifying CO2 natural and
anthropogenic surface fluxes over Western and Central Europe. She/he will
also put forward recommendations on how to best design the surface networks
to complement the satellite imagery. For this task, the LSCE inversion
system will have to be enhanced to assimilate data not only from satellites
but also from ground based networks, including measurements of pollutant
species co-emitted with CO2 by the combustion of fossil fuels.
The successful candidate will work within the CO2 Human Emissions (CHE)
EU-funded project coordinated by ECMWF. CHE aims to provide key modelling
support in preparation for a European capacity to monitor CO2 anthropogenic
emissions with CO2 spectro-imagers and related measurements and models.
She/he will work full time at LSCE (LSCE, CEA-Orme des Merisiers, 91191 Gif
sur Yvette cedex, France) with the team dedicated to inverse modelling.
She/he will also interact with the team dedicated to the deployment of
ground based measurement sites at LSCE, with the European consortium of the
CHE project and with other French and European institutes collaborating
with LSCE on this topic.
She/he should have a PhD with experience and knowledge in data
assimilation, in atmospheric modelling or more generally in modelling tools
and statistics. She/he should be autonomous and able to work with computing
tools such as Fortran and/or python, and with complex model codes in UNIX
environment. She/he should also have good communication skills.
The salary will be commensurate with experience and will include full
health care and retirement pension benefits. Applications should include a
CV and a cover letter, and if possible the names of two reference persons.
They should be sent to Grégoire Broquet (gregoire.broquet at lsce.ipsl.fr),
Frédéric Chevallier (frederic.chevallier at lsce.ipsl.fr), Philippe Ciais (
philipe.ciais at cea.fr), François-Marie Bréon (fmbreon at cea.fr). The
applications should be sent, and the position will start, as soon as
possible.

1-year (renewable) post-doctoral position at LSCE: assimilation of CO2
satellite images for the atmospheric inversion of CO2 natural fluxes in
Amazonia

Several concepts of satellite spectro-imagery for CO2 atmospheric
concentrations are presently investigated by space agencies and research
laboratories. In principle, the processing of CO2 images from satellites
has more potential than data from current satellite sounders for the
monitoring of the natural and anthropogenic surface CO2 fluxes both at high
resolution and at large scales. The GeoCARB geostationary mission, which
has recently been selected by NASA as an Earth Venture mission, will
provide satellite images of CO2 at relatively high spatial resolution
(typically 5 km) over areas of several thousands of km in tropical to
mid-latitude North and South America. Its atmospheric CO2 concentration
measurements will be used to quantify the surface fluxes based on
atmospheric transport modelling and statistical atmospheric inversion
techniques. The traditional atmospheric inversion systems have been mostly
developed to assimilate sparse ground based or satellite measurements and
may not be effective at capturing structured and informative patterns in
the images. They should therefore evolve to optimize the exploitation of
the CO2 images such as those from GeoCARB.

The successful candidate will support the development of new inversion
concepts for the optimal processing of the GeoCARB images. Her/his
inversion activities will focus on the monitoring of the CO2 natural fluxes
in Amazonia. She/he will:

implement new inversion techniques in the regional inversion system that
has been developed at LSCE for the monitoring of the natural fluxes in
South America

investigate, through experiments with pseudo data, the improvements enabled
by these new inversion techniques and the potential of the GeoCARB mission
for the monitoring of the natural fluxes

investigate the potential complementarity of GeoCARB with satellite
sounders like the MicroCARB mission, which is planned by CNES.


The successful candidate will work full time at LSCE (LSCE, CEA-Orme des
Merisiers, 91191 Gif sur Yvette cedex, France) with the team dedicated to
