PhD Funding Opportunity - Risks, vulnerability and adaptation to
climate change of cultural heritage in Scotland

Based at the University of the West of Scotland

Closing date for applications 14th May 2012

Climate change together with sea level rise and its impacts on
temperature, rainfall patterns, flooding, coastal erosion, and a
potential increase in storminess will pose a challenge to the
conservation of the cultural heritage. A policy response, such as the
development of adaptation strategies, will be required to manage the
transformational pressures of this changing climate. However, there is
currently a lack of knowledge about the risks of climate change to the
historic environment in Scotland, thereby making the development of a
policy response unworkable. This project will first involve a scoping
study of the threats that climate change poses to the historic
environment in Scotland, including the production of risk assessment
maps using a geographical information system. For the purpose of this
study the historic environment or cultural heritage is defined as old
buildings, monuments, and archaeological sites. Then, based on the
outcomes of this national risk assessment, a more detailed vulnerability
assessment either geographically-based or focusing on a specific sector
of the cultural heritage will be accomplished. The assessment will be
bottom-up, starting with the identification of the sensitivities of the
historic environment to climate change through interviews with key
stakeholders, including site visits, and surveys; the identification of
adaptive measures to deal with existing vulnerabilities; and the
subsequent use of the outputs from a regional climate model providing
projections for relevant climatic variables. The project will report on
the methodological challenges in measuring vulnerability and aims to
develop a framework of analysis applicable to the cultural heritage. The
outcomes of this risk and vulnerability analysis will form the basis of
an initial assessment of opportunities for adaptation and inform about
the information required for a policy response within the sector.

This studentship brings together the research expertise of Dr Alexandre
Gagnon in vulnerability and adaptation to climate change and that of Dr
John Hughes in construction, conservation, and restoration of the built
heritage both at the University of the West of Scotland. This proposal
grew from experience gained through an AHRC-funded Research Network on
the transformational and resilience pressures on immovable Cultural
Heritage coordinated by Dr Hughes, involving academic and heritage
organisation stakeholders in Scotland and Northern Ireland. This project
will also benefit from external supervision from Dr Ewan Hyslop at
Historic Scotland. For further information about the Environmental
Initiatives Research Group, please refer to:

_PhD Title_: Air-sea coupled modelling: application to high-impact
weather events in Mediterranean

_PhD supervisors_: Dr. V?ronique Ducrocq, Dr. Herv? Giordani

_Place_: CNRM-GAME, M?t?o-France & CNRS, 42, Avenue G. Coriolis 31057
Toulouse Cedex

_Deadline for application_: 7 March 2012

_PhD goals, proposed methodology_:

The Mediterranean regions are frequently affected by heavy precipitation
and strong winds. These intense atmospheric events strongly influence
not only the upper ocean circulation but also the dense water formation
and thus the Mediterranean Sea thermohaline circulation at the basin
scale. As feedbacks, the Mediterranean Sea constitutes a significant
source of moisture for heavy precipitation events, about half of the
water vapour feeding them is extracted from the Mediterranean Sea. Past
numerical studies have studied the sensitivity to the Sea Surface
Temperature (SST) and air-sea fluxes parameterization of the
kilometric-scale atmospheric forecasts. It has been shown that the both
can influence the location and intensity of heavy precipitation systems.
In addition, it has been found that high-temporal (<3h) and spatial (2-3
km) atmospheric forecasts are required to be able to reproduce the
impact of the intense atmospheric events on the ocean mixing layer with
the driven ocean model.

The PhD aims at developing a coupling between the convection-permitting
numerical weather prediction AROME model and the NEMO ocean model in
order to (i) to simultaneously improve the representation of atmospheric
and ocean boundary layers and (ii) to study the air-sea coupled
processes before, during and after extreme weather events.

During the first year, the O/A models coupling will be adapted to the
western Mediterranean basin. It will be then validating using a
dedicated version of AROME covering the western Mediterranean basin
(AROME-WMED) and the NEMO model for the Mediterranean Sea basin
(NEMO-MED). Its benefit with respect to one-way coupling ocean or
atmospheric models will be assessed.

The HyMeX (http://www.hymex.org <http://www.hymex.org/>) field campaigns
in 2012 and 2013 will provide the ocean and atmospheric boundary layers
observations for validation of the model simulations and for the study
of air-sea coupled processes during intense events. Among the
instrumented platforms, one can mention the gliders, argo floats,
drifting surface buoys, drifting atmospheric boundary layer balloons
that will provide simultaneous measurements in atmospheric and ocean
boundary layers. Air-sea flux measurements onboard aircraft and vessel
will be also performed.

Eventually, some refinements of the air-sea interface description
(vertical resolution near the air-sea interface, ocean state, ...)
within the ocean and atmospheric models will be introduced and evaluated
with respect to the air-sea interaction during intense atmospheric events.

_Required knowledge and experience_ :

Candidates (citizens from the European Union or Switzerland, under age
27) should have or will obtain in 2012 a master degree in Ocean,
Atmospheric, Environmental Sciences or equivalent. The applicant should
be familiar with programming languages (Fortran, Unix,...), background
in numerical modelling is welcome.

French or English spoken, English well-written.

For full consideration, the applicant should sent a detailed CV by
March, 7 to :

veronique.ducrocq@meteo.fr and herve.giordani@meteo.fr

If selected, the candidate will have to submit an application to the
armaments (DGA) portal by March, 15

*Proposal for a post-doctoral research position in*

*CONVECTIVE SCALE ENSEMBLE PREDICTION FOR AVIATION (SESAR WP11.2 project)*

*Laboratory: CNRM/GAME*(Centre National de Recherches
M?t?orologiques/Groupe d'?tudes de l'Atmosph?re M?t?orologique),
M?t?o-France, Toulouse, France (www.cnrm.meteo.fr)

The EU-funded SESAR WP11.2 project includes the demonstration of
probabilistic weather products for the aviation sector, using the latest
generation of ensemble prediction systems. One aim is to blend
high-resolution, limited-area ensemble products from several European
weather services, with an emphasis on dangerous convective events. There
are significant challenges in the design and validation of such a
blending procedure, which shall lead to a prototype weather product
generator for the aviation community.

The proposed post-doctoral position will be part of this project. The
recruit will work in a small team dedicated to ensemble forecasting at
CNRM/GAME, and he/she will interact with correspondents at the British
and German meteorological services (the UK Met Office and Deutscher
Wetterdienst). The tasks will be (1) to facilitate the exchange and
archiving of ensemble field data, (2) to solve scientific and technical
issues related to the blending of data from different models, (3) to
design and to validate post-processing and blending algorithms in order
to extract maximum value from an unprecedented dataset of high
resolution ensemble output. Appropriate training and supervision will be
given by the host team. The recruit will be encouraged to publish in the
peer-reviewed meteorological literature.

The recruit should be able to work in English, have good practical
skills with Unix scripts and Fortran-90 (or equivalent) programming,
some previous research experience (PhD recommended), and a strong
background in atmospheric numerical modelling, physics and ensemble
prediction. Applications from closely related fields will be considered
as well.

The initial hiring is expected to start around mid-2012, it will cover
18 months with a possibility of extension. The net salary proposed will
be in the range 2500EUR to 3100EUR, depending on the candidate's
experience.

Applications will be accepted by e-mail only, until *31 March 2012*.
They should comprise: a CV with scientific experience, a letter of
motivation with availability date, and some referee name(s).
Applications and queries should be sent to the following e-mail addresses:

* Fran?ois Bouttier: /francois.bouttier@meteo.fr/
* Olivier Caumont: /olivier.caumont@meteo.fr/

3-yr PhD studentship: Systematic assessment of uncertainty in coupled
carbon-nitrogen cycle models and their climate feedbacks

The new generation of land carbon-nitrogen-cycle models show that
nitrogen feedbacks attenuate the responses of the carbon cycle to
perturbations, thereby affecting long-term projections of climate
change. However, the magnitude of this effect is very different between
the models leading to considerable uncertainty in projected rates of
climate change. This PhD project seeks to better understand and quantify
this uncertainty by developing and systematically assessing alternative
model components in a common, already existing framework. Key
observations of global carbon-nitrogen cycling will be used to evaluate
competing process formulations. The thoroughly examined set of model
components, linked in a common global modelling framework, will be used
to make ensemble projections of the effects of future global change on
terrestrial feedbacks to the climate system, systematically assessing
uncertainty in these projections stemming from uncertainty in both
parametric and process-formulation of global carbon-nitrogen cycle
modelling.

We are seeking a highly-motivated and collaborative PhD student with a
background in a quantitative science (e.g. geo-ecology, environmental
science, biology, applied mathematics, physics, or computer science),
experience in scientific programming, and an interest in applying their
expertise to terrestrial ecology and global change research, and
numerical modelling.

The position will be in the Biogeochemical Systems Department
(http://www.bgc-jena.mpg.de/bgc-systems/index.shtml), and jointly
supervised by the Computational Ecology and Environmental Science Group
(http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/groups/ecology) at Microsoft
Research in Cambridge, UK (MSRC). The successful applicant will join a
young and international team in a vibrant research environment, and will
profit from exchange visits to the MSRC lab. The successful applicant is
also encouraged to apply for admission to the International Max Planck
Research School for Global Biogeochemical Cycles. This is a structured
PhD program that offers thematically complementary courses as well as
seminars on soft and hard skills. For detailed information, see

Developing Novel Computational Methods to Describe and Predict Human
Behaviour in Earth System Models

*Supervisor:* Paul Palmer, University of Edinburgh
*Microsoft Research supervisor:* Drew Purves

*Summary:* We describe a PhD project that will fundamentally improve
understanding of how humans will respond to changing climate and
associated environmental factors. We present two interrelated projects:

1. We will develop a model of the relationship between the changing
climate and conflict, including demographic transitions, and how it
is affected by the outbreak and spread of disease
2. We will develop a model of climate-related migration, borrowing
ideas from behavioural ecology, to look at how racial tension and
bounded rationality might affect how communities eventually migrate.

For both projects, an emphasis will be on these predictive models
reproducing observed socio-economic metrics, largely provided by the
United Nations, so that we develop confidence before we apply them to
future climate scenarios.

Interested applicants should send a cover letter and CV to Paul Palmer
(paul.palmer@ed.ac.uk).

Land Surface Modelling -Agent Based Modelling of Heat, Water and Carbon Exchanges in Cities
Supervisors: Prof Sue Grimmond<http://www.kcl.ac.uk/sspp/departments/geography/people/academic/grimmond/> and Dr Andreas Baas
Urban areas are locations where many people are at enhanced risk to a wide range of environmental hazards. This results in part because of the population density of cities; the location of many urban areas near rivers, coasts etc; and the conditions generated by the cities themselves (e.g., heat stress and poor air quality). The focus of this study is the climate/atmosphere of cities, specifically the effects of the behaviours and actions of those living in cities on key exchanges of water, energy (heat) and carbon. Agent based modelling will be used to develop parameter specifications for a state-of-the-art urban surface-atmosphere exchange model (SUEWS). The linked model will then be used to investigate the impact of human decisions on environmental risks (heat stress and drought in particular) and to consider interventions and strategies for alternative outcomes.

One fully-funded NERC PhD-Studentship is available for new 3-year Doctoral Research projects in Earth and Environmental Sciences starting September 2012. Funding covers all tuition fees, a tax-free stipend of approximately ?15,590 pa (including London Allowance), and a research support budget of approximately ?9,000.

We are looking for motivated students with quantitative skills and a strong interest in Environmental Sciences, with MSc-degree level training in a relevant discipline.

Application submission deadline: 5pm, Monday 26 March, 2012

How to Apply:

Interested applicants are strongly urged to contact the principal supervisor on a project first for informal discussion and development. Final selection for the studentship will be based on the best partnering of applicant and project. Applicants should only apply if they meet NERC's eligibility requirements for fees and maintenance as defined here:
http://www.nerc.ac.uk/funding/available/postgrad/eligibility.asp
(UK citizens or EU national who have been resident in the UK for the last 3 years)

Applications should consist of a 1-page statement of interest in- and suitability for a specific Doctoral Research project, accompanied by a full CV that includes detailed information on academic qualifications and results. Applications should be sent as one integrated PDF document to: michelle.drew@kcl.ac.uk<mailto:julia.howse@kcl.ac.uk>, by the stated deadline.

Antarctic Atmospheric Scientist
Please quote ref no: BAS 18/12
Closing date for applications: 15 Apr 2012
Main Description
The British Antarctic Survey (BAS) offers the opportunity for suitably qualified persons to join multi-disciplinary teams at Halley (76?S, 26?W) or Rothera (68?S, 68?W) stations in Antarctica. This is science with a difference. As part of a small, highly motivated team, the successful candidates will be spending a year in the Antarctic, with the possibility of an extension. Life here is like nowhere else, so you must be ready to take on all the challenges that it offers. With the unparalleled beauty of the Antarctic, you will find this a profitable experience in more ways than one. The primary role of the successful candidates will be to make observations and to maintain and operate a suite of scientific instruments for studying the atmosphere and also to carry out quality assurance on the resulting environmental data.

Halley research station primarily concentrates on atmospheric research from ground level into space and the successful candidate will face the challenges of a newly commissioned station. Halley is an important observatory studying the Antarctic ozone "hole". The Meteorology and Ozone Monitoring Unit (MOMU) makes regular measurements of the stratospheric ozone content, and participates in international projects to measure trace chemicals, which are instrumental in the processes leading to ozone depletion. Other background pollution studies include taking snow and air samples for later isotopic and trace gas analysis in the UK. The Clean Air Sector Laboratory (CASLab) is the UK's primary research facility for polar atmospheric chemistry. BAS operates a programme of routine measurements, as well as enhanced science campaigns, to study this clean background atmosphere, and how it links to wider global processes.

The research station at Rothera studies a broader range of science, although notably without the atmospheric chemistry component described above.. Meteorological support is also provided for summer aircraft operations. A number of remote automatic weather stations located along the Antarctic Peninsula and on Alexander Island are serviced from the station. There is also a weather satellite image receiver, which is used to aid local weather forecasting.

The stations both make meteorological observations using an interactive, PC-based Automatic Weather Station, designed to facilitate data gathering and analysis and may make more frequent observations for aircraft. Regular upper air soundings are made using balloon-borne radio sondes. Additional observations and measurements are also made throughout the day. These are duties for the Atmospheric Scientists at both Halley and Rothera.

The successful candidate(s) will be responsible for maintaining the atmospheric science equipment in good working order, maintaining the quality of the data and managing its transfer to electronic storage. Each scientist is a member of a small multi-disciplinary team of scientists and support staff; and as such, they are expected to be adaptable and work on other programmes and to take their share of general base work. As the station is isolated for most of the year, the ability to work without detailed supervision and to solve problems as they arise is paramount.
Qualifications: A degree or HND in physics, chemistry, geophysics, meteorology, electronic engineering or a related subject. Alternatively, a minimum of two years practical meteorological or electronics experience, supported by A levels or HNC in Physics or Electronics. An ability to solve problems and to be flexible are also key characteristics of the job.
Duration: The appointment will be for approximately 18 months, commencing in July 2012 in Cambridge. The successful candidates will undertake appropriate specialist training in all aspects of the job, prior to travelling to the Antarctic in the autumn of 2012 and returning in spring 2014.
Salary: From ?21,037 per annum
General information on living and working in Antarctica together can be found at http://www.antarctica.ac.uk.

PhD Opportunity in Regional Climate Modelling.

Project Title: Cleaner Air - A warmer Europe?

Project Outline: The European Commission, under the Clean Air For Europe (CAF? ) initiative and the Thematic Strategy on Air Pollution, aims to reduce excess mortality rates and mitigate against reduced life span across Europe resulting from air pollution. Specific targets are set for air pollution exceedence levels,, reduced mortality rates, and increased life span by 2020. These targets are developed with the best economic cost in mind and through Integrated Assessment Modelling. While clean air is good for public health, it appears that it is bad for greenhouse-gas warming. It is estimated that aerosol (particulate matter) haze and cloud layers have off-set the greenhouse-gas warming by 50% over the last century and estimates, using a global climate model suggests accelerate rates of global warming to the tune of 0.3-0.4*C per decade over the next 2 decades or so. We propose to quantify the impact on European scale warming rates, with particular focus on Ireland, of current air pollution targets. The climate scenario will be 2020 and it will be evaluate using the REgional MOdel with Tracer Extension (REMOTE). REMOTE is a regional climate model based on the global climate model ECHAM4 and further developed to include atmospheric composition. Specifically, it contains an updated version of the atmospheric chemistry module RADM2 and aerosol-cloud microphysics interactions, advanced aerosol formation, transformation and dynamics (M7 - seven mode modal model capable of handling natural and anthropogenic, primary and secondary aerosol species).

Duration: 3.5 Years

Must start before 31st March.

Annual Stipend: 16,000 euro plus fees.

Funding opportunities for Ph.D. applicants who are eligible for NERC
funding (see below for further details):

*Real-Time Global Atmospheric Modelling of Wildfire Emissions Transport*
/Supervisors: Dr Marcus K?hler and Prof Martin Wooster/

Biomass burning represents a globally significant flux of material
(carbon compounds, other trace gases and aerosols) transported from the
land to the atmosphere. A major new modelling system designed to
monitor and forecast the atmospheric impact of biomass burning in near
real time has been developed by combining an atmospheric
chemistry-transport model with operational satellite remote sensing
observations. This PhD project will evaluate and ultimately improve the
system's accuracy by undertaking a series of case studies of major
biomass burning events conducted across the primary eco-region types
affected (boreal, temperate, tropical etc.) and which will be validated
against independent sources (e.g. atmospheric chemistry and aerosol
observations made from satellite and ground-based systems). The aim
will be to analyse the system performance, develop any identified
improvements (e.g. in how biomass burning emissions are represented in
the atmospheric transport model) and to provide the testing and
validation needed to help deliver the final operational system. The PhD
will be conducted in collaboration with ECMWF, and the student will be
provided with access to state of the art supercomputer resources in
order to perform their own model runs outside of the near real time
system (e.g. to analyse past events). It is expected that there will be
opportunities to attend one or several field experiments where biomass
burning can be observed and characterised 'in person'.
Informal enquiries about this project should be directed at
marcus.koehler@kcl.ac.uk <mailto:marcus.koehler@kcl.ac.uk>.

*Funding Opportunity for this Project: Fully-funded PhD Studentship for
UK/EU Students*

One fully-funded NERC PhD-Studentship is available for new 3-year
Doctoral Research projects in Earth Sciences starting in September 2012.
Funding covers all tuition fees, a tax-free stipend of approximately
?15,590 pa (including London Allowance), and a research support budget

Vienna University of Technology announces 5 PostDocs and 2 PhD positions for
the project FloodChange funded by the ERC.

The Vienna University of Technology (TU Wien) announces Post-Doc and PhD
positions for the FloodChange (Deciphering River Flood Change) project.
FloodChange runs over 5 years and is an Advanced Grant of the European
Research Council (ERC - <http://erc.europa.eu/> erc.europa.eu), one of the
most prestigious funding programmes for fundamental research in Europe.

The key questions addressed by FloodChange are: When, where, how have floods
changed in Europe? Why do floods change? How sensitive are floods to changes
in land use and climate? How confident can we be about predicting future
changes in floods? For the first time, it will be possible to systematise
the effects of land use and climate on floods, which will provide a vital
step towards predicting how floods will change in the future.

Five Post-Doc and two PhD positions are available in the following research
themes:

. Flood-hydrology

. Catchment hydrology

. Climatology/Meteorology

. Regional hydrology

. Soil science/Plant physiology

. Environmental statistics

The working language is English. A capacity and willingness to integrate and
collaborate is essential. The PhD students of FloodChange will be enrolled
in the Vienna Doctoral Programme on Water Resource Systems (
<http://www.waterresources.at/> www.waterresources.at), and will directly
benefit from its interdisciplinary nature.

A salary is provided according to the TU Wien scheme, together with a
significant allowance for travel and research support. TU Wien is an equal
opportunities employer. The contracts will be for three years and extension
is possible. The preferred starting date is July 1, 2012.

Candidates should send a letter of application, a statement of research
interests, copies of education certificates and a Curriculum Vitae to
office@waterresources.at (pdf format), or as a hard copy to The Centre of
Water Resource Systems, c/o Dr. Gemma Carr, Vienna University of Technology,
A-1040 Vienna, Karlsplatz 13/222-2, Austria. Please quote reference:
FloodChange.

Application deadline is April 30, 2012. Short listed candidates will be

This is a reminder:

The Institute for Meteorology and Climate Research (IMK-TRO) at the
Karlsruhe Institute for Technology (KIT), Germany, seeks to appoint a
Willis Research Fellow in the context of Hail Hazard and Risk Assessment.

The open position is concerned with the collective hazard and risk
assessment of hailstorms over Europe. The fellow will undertake research
on the estimation of hail from a combination of observational (e.g.,
radar, lightning, satellite, insurance) and model data (regional climate
models and re-analyses). Based on the new methods developed within the
project, complementary information regarding hail occurrence, hailstorm
tracks, footprints and their intensities will be derived and the
implications on the insurance sector analyzed.

The fellow is expected to strongly collaborate within the Willis
Research Network (WRN), and the Center for Disaster Management and Risk
Reduction Technology (CEDIM). WRN is the world's largest Public Private
Academic partnership linking science, policy making, and insurance. The
WRN provides a unique and lively forum for the advancement of the
science of societal-relevant natural catastrophes
(www.willisresearchnetwork.com). CEDIM is an interdisciplinary research
center in the field of disaster management founded by Karlsruhe
Institute of Technology (KIT) and Helmholtz Centre Potsdam - German
Research Centre for Geoscience (GFZ). The fellowship is an excellent
opportunity to develop an academic career in the context of natural
hazards that has real impact for the local and global insurance sector.
The position is placed at the Institute for Meteorology and Climate
Research (IMK-TRO), which combines extensive observation methods and
model work on tropospheric meteorology. The fellow will work part time
at Willis in London as well.
