Ph.D. position in climate extremes
---------------------------------------------------------------------
There is an opening for a Ph.D. position in my group in Uppsala University. The preferred start date is September 2021, with flexibility for earlier or later dates, and the position is for 48 months. Do not hesitate to contact me ([email protected]) should you have any questions. Deadline for applications is currently the 12th April.

Further details and application form here:
https://www.uu.se/en/about-uu/join-us/details/?positionId=378265

Applications over email will not be accepted.

The position
The Ph.D. will work within the frame of the ITN grant “european weather Extremes: DrIvers, Predictability and Impacts”, funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under the Marie Sklodowska-Curie grant agreement No. 956396 and headed by Uppsala University. You will be part of a leading cohort of early-career researchers across 9 universities and research centres in Europe, studying different aspects of climate extremes: from atmospheric dynamics to public health and agricultural impacts. Through this network you will have access to a rich programme of training activities and research exchanges. Your work will focus on mapping key physical processes and large-scale oceanic and atmospheric configurations modulating the skill and statistics of heatwave forecasts in present and future climates. This analysis will be complemented by the use of indicators issued from dynamical systems theory, which will provide a theoretical picture of the mean predictability characteristics of the atmosphere. You will also have the opportunity to engage in teaching and supervising duties. As part of the project, you will be required to complete international secondments and attend international meetings, subject to health and travel advisories.

The research group

I coordinate a lively research group based at the Dept. of Earth Sciences in Uppsala, which focuses on the dynamics of extreme climate events in the mid and high latitudes and their interactions with other components of the Earth System. I currently head three nationally funded research projects, an ERC project and a large H2020 consortium. More information on our ongoing research can be found at https://gmessori.eu/.



Eligibility

Eligibility criteria follow the MSCA mobility rules (and the additional requirements specified in the full job asvertisement:

The department

Uppsala University is a comprehensive, research-intensive university with a strong international standing. The Department of Earth Sciences (https://www.geo.uu.se/) is one of the most complete such academic departments in Europe. Our research focuses on subjects that range from the Earth’s core to the atmosphere, on scales from submicroscopic structures in minerals to the formation of mountains and oceans. We have teaching at undergraduate and graduate levels.

M.Sc. program in Atmospheric Sciences with scholarships at Uni. Lille, France

Dear students,
I would like to bring to your attention the opening of an international M.Sc. program in Atmospheric Sciences at the University of Lille (France), for which full scholarships can be offered.

This two-year M.Sc. program includes a wide range of courses in atmospheric physics and chemistry as well as internships in research facilities. Applications for the second year only are also possible. All courses are offered in English.

Scholarships (7 500€ / year) are open to students of all nationalities, on the basis of academic record excellence.

Deadline for applications is set to 15 March 2021, for a start of the academic program in September 2021.

Details and application forms can be found on the program’s website (http://www.labex-cappa.fr/master-atmospheric-sciences). Please contact Odran Sourdeval ([email protected]) for any further questions or inquires.

We are looking forward to seeing you in Lille.

ERC-funded PhD fellowship on tropical convective self-organization

The Leibniz Centre for Tropical Marine Research ,Bremen, Germany, and the Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen, Denmark, are jointly seeking a motivated PhD student who will study the self-organization of convective cloud over the tropical oceans and continents using observations and modeling. The position is funded through the ERC project “Cloud-cloud interaction in convective precipitation” (INTERACTION).

Job tasks

A particular focus will be on the emergence of mesoscale convective systems (MCSs), which have been recognized as a substantial contribution to tropical rainfall. Yet, the mechanistic origin of MCSs is far from settled. An emphasis of this PhD project will be on the land-sea contrast, and how convection over one of the two surfaces communicates with that over the other – which could, e.g., be explored by using tropical islands as case-study regions. A known, but incompletely understood, organizing mechanism are convectively generated cold pools, their sharply-defined updrafts and broader buoyancy anomalies.

Measuring and simulating cold pool properties is an incompletely explored, yet timely, topic, which will be addressed within this thesis. The thesis will give the student the opportunity to follow an international collaboration, between the Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen, Copenhagen, Denmark, and the Leibniz Centre for Tropical Marine Research (ZMT), Bremen, Germany. The student will be based within the group “Complexity and Climate” at ZMT, but carry out graduate course work at Niels Bohr Institute during the first year alongside research and be able to collaborate with the Atmospheric Complexity team there throughout the PhD (atmospheric-complexity.nbi.ku.dk). The Ph.D. degree will be awarded by the Niels Bohr Institute.

Simulations will include cloud-resolving and large-eddy simulations, but may also make use of existing global high-resolution simulations. Observations will be taken from satellite, radar and surface-based measurements. The option of an observational field study will be explored.

Requirements

Candidates with a background in physics, mathematics, meteorology/atmospheric science or engineering are especially encouraged to apply. Candidates should have completed the equivalent of a M.Sc. degree, or be close to its completion. Working experience with an efficient programing language (e.g. fortran, python, c/c++, or similar) is expected. Curiosity and creativity for building conceptual, simplified mathematical models is crucial. Some familiarity with atmospheric dynamics and thermodynamics, or ocean-atmosphere interaction will be beneficial, but is not critical. Enthusiasm to both work within a team and alone are expected. Besides keen theoretical enthusiasm, potential interest in field work could be of benefit.

Leibniz Centre for Tropical Marine Research, Fahrenheitstraße 6, 28359 Bremen, Germany; Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen, Blegdamsvej 17, 2100 Copenhagen, Denmark.

Application deadline: Sept 3, 2020
