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.<br> <br>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 <a href="http://www.bris.ac.uk/cabot/news/2014/502.html" target="_blank">http://www.bris.ac.uk/cabot/news/2014/502.html</a>.<br> <br><b>Required skills</b> 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.<br> <br><b>Desired skills</b> include knowledge of hydrometeorology, land-atmosphere interactions, data assimilation and/or remote sensing, and some previous experience with fieldwork activities.<br> <br>For informal inquiries, please contact Dr Rafael Rosolem (<a href="mailto:rafael.rosolem@bristol.ac.uk" target="_blank">rafael.rosolem@bristol.ac.uk</a>)<br> <br>To apply, please visit <a href="http://bit.ly/1sLm96i" target="_blank">http://bit.ly/1sLm96i</a><br>or<br><a href="http://www.jobs.ac.uk/job/AJP006/research-assistant-or-research-associate-in-land-surface-modelling-and-soil-moisture-scaling/" target="_blank">http://www.jobs.ac.uk/job/AJP006/research-assistant-or-research-associate-in-land-surface-modelling-and-soil-moisture-scaling/</a><br> </div>
