Post-doctoral position in MIT

Posted on 16. Oct, 2012 by jobad in Post Doctoral

A post-doctoral position is available in MIT's department of Earth,
Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences (EAPS). The successful candidate
will conduct research on Arctic and North Atlantic climate variability
over recent decades. As part of the "Estimating the Circulation and
Climate of the Ocean" (ECCO) and related projects, the group has
assembled a wealth of satellite and in-situ ocean and sea ice
observations, and is developing a synthesis of these observations into
a dynamically consistent time-evolving state of the coupled ocean and
sea ice system, based on the MIT general circulation model
(MITgcm). The observations, the state estimate, and the model itself
will serve as tools for investigating various aspects of North
Atlantic and Arctic ocean and sea ice dynamics and variability, from
detailed process studies, to mechanisms and forcings underlying
variability of climatically important variables, to basin-wide heat
and freshwater balances. Implications for quantifying uncertainties
and for the predictability of various climate metrics are also being
sought.

The successful applicant will have broad access to in-house forward
and inverse modeling expertise, and will be immersed in a lively
climate research environment, both at MIT and through a variety of
collaborations with national and international partners. For more
information, please see:
http://eaps-www.mit.edu/paoc/research/patrick-heimbachs-group
http://oceans.mit.edu/research/oceans-climate
http://ecco-group.org
http://ecco2.org

The position is to be filled as soon as possible. Appointment will be
initially for one year, with the possibility of extension for another
year. A strong background in ocean, sea ice or climate physics,
climate modeling, a relevant topic of applied maths, or a related
field is a plus, as are strong programming and scientific computing
skills.

If interested, please email your application, consisting of a cover

Post Doctoral at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory

Posted on 31. May, 2012 by jobad in Post Doctoral

The Center at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory for Integrative
Modeling of the Earth System (CLIMES) has an exciting opportunity for a
postdoctoral researcher to help jump-start an innovative project to develop
multiscale models of the atmosphere for the next generation of
local-to-global climate projections. The primary goal is to produce better
models of critical climate processes from cloud-system to global scales
through improved physical and computational implementations. The
researcher would join a rapidly expanding team at LBNL conducting
innovative research in abrupt and extreme climate change, ice-sheet
simulation, carbon and methane cycle measurement and modeling, integrated
assessment, and advanced numerical methods for climate dynamics. The
postdoc will develop and apply atmospheric models with unprecedented
telescoping capabilities to simulate the multiscale dynamics of the
tropical ocean-atmosphere system. The individual will work closely with
climate scientists, computer scientists, and applied mathematicians at LBNL
and other DOE National Laboratories as part of a multi-institutional
collaboration supported by DOE?s climate research and Scientific Discovery
through Advanced Computing (SciDAC) program. The selected candidate will
report to the principal investigator of this SciDAC project who also heads
LBNL?s Climate Sciences Department, the Carbon and Climate Program, and
CLIMES.
