Thanks for the great conversation and hike this morning! Built on the
Met-jobs listservs, there is another list "Es_jobs_net", which includes
both modeling, observations and evaluation post-doc, phd and
faculty/scientist opportunities.
It is sponsored by Earth Science Women's Network. The sign-up page is
included here:
http://mailman.ucar.edu/mailman/listinfo/es_jobs_net
Hope it could be helpful for some of us!
Best,
Douglas

> 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
> inverse modelling. She/he will also interact with the international
> scientific team of the GeoCARB mission, and in particular with the
> University of Oklahoma which leads this mission. Finally, she/he will
> interact with the European institutes collaborating with LSCE on the topic
> of the satellite monitoring of GHG fluxes.
>
> 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 must 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)
> and Frédéric Chevallier (frederic.chevallier at lsce.ipsl.fr). The
> applications should be sent, and the position will start, as soon as
> possible.
