Post Doctoral Positions in Regional Atmospheric Modelling and Data
Assimilation
 
The atmospheric modelling group of the Waterloo Centre for Atmospheric
Sciences (WCAS) has two new positions at the Post Doctoral Level.  The
WCAS modelling group is a collaborative research centre that works on
meteorology and chemical transport modelling of atmospheric processes in
North America using the MM5 and WRF meteorology models and the
Models-3/CMAQ CTM system..  The WCAS provides a local weather forecast
service at http://www.forecast.uwaterloo.ca
<http://www.forecast.uwaterloo.ca/>  and also carries out an extensive
program of long range chemical transport studies with a focus on ozone,
mercury and persistent organic pollutants.  The new appointees will work
on model development and application with a focus on aerosol formation
and heterogeneous processes in CTM systems and data assimilation for
application to an air quality forecasting system currently under
development.
Our regional modelling group currently consists of approximately 15
personnel at the graduate and post doctoral levels.  In addition to PDF
level scientific personnel, the group includes a meteorologist and a
computer systems specialist.  Computations are done on an 80-processor
Linux cluster operated by the Waterloo Centre for Atmospheric Sciences.
Applicants with previous experience in regional atmospheric modelling
and data assimilation procedures will be given preference.  Further
information on the technical aspects of the work may be obtained from
Professor J.J. Sloan, WCAS Research Director
(http://www.science.uwaterloo.ca/~sloanj).
 
The WCAS is located at the University of Waterloo
(http://www.uwaterloo.ca/) in the Kitchener-Waterloo urban area
(http://win.uwaterloo.ca/win/), which has a population of approximately
250,000, and is surrounded by a pleasant, mostly agricultural, rural
region.
