The Climate System Research Center (CSRC, https://blogs.umass.edu/csrc) at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst serves to advance understanding of the nature and causes of climate change, and the effects that those changes have had on the environment. This research leads to a better understanding of how the climate system functions. Its mission emphasizes high quality climate research at an international level, the education and training of student scholars, and outreach to the public through interactions with the media and public lectures. CSRC scholars engage the broader scientific community by publishing peer-reviewed journal articles, presenting results at conferences, and participating in working groups examining climate system dynamics.

Overview:

The CSRC seeks highly self-motivated and qualified postdoc applicants to work on development and implementation of process modeling of hydrological and biogeochemical fluxes within river and aquatic systems in Arctic environments. The appointment is affiliated with the Beaufort Lagoons LTER (https://ble.lternet.edu/) and NASA ABoVE (https://above.nasa.gov/). Project goals center on quantifying the timing and magnitude of terrestrial water, carbon, and energy exports to coastal zones and assessments of the impacts of climate change. There will be opportunities to develop and pursue novel hypotheses in the context of project goals. This is a two year appointment with continuation contingent on satisfactory performance. Salary is commensurate with research experience, ranging from $58,000 to $62,000 in the first year. Anticipated start in August 2022. Postdoctoral scholars are required to have completed a doctoral degree no later than at the time of the appointment decision. The University of Massachusetts provides a comprehensive benefits package to postdoctoral scholars.

Essential Qualifications:

Background in earth system science, geography, ecology, physics or a related field.

Experience in developing, testing, and implementing hydrology or land surface models.

Preferred Qualifications:

Experience with Fortran, C/C++, R, Python, or ArcGIS/QGIS.

Experience in analysis and processing of large data sets.

Knowledge of the climate, hydrology, and biogeochemistry of Arctic environments.

Excellence in research as demonstrated through publication of manuscripts in refereed journals and presentations at scholarly conferences.

To Apply:
Applicants should submit a cover letter describing relevant experience and qualifications, and a curriculum vitae, to Dr. Michael Rawlins . Letters of recommendation will be sought from qualified candidates. The University of Massachusetts Amherst is an Affirmative Action / Equal Opportunity Employer (EOE) of women, minorities, veterans, and individuals with disabilities. Applications from these and other protected groups are highly encouraged.

Summer Research Program 2022
Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences
The Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences Summer Research Program (AOS-SRP) provides undergraduate students the opportunity to gain research experience in the Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Selected students will spend 10 weeks (June-August) in Madison* conducting research under the guidance of a faculty mentor in a variety of areas such as meteorology, remote sensing, climate change, and oceanography. In addition to research experience, several professional and academic development opportunities will also be provided during the program. Please use the links below to learn more about the program, explore potential projects, and apply!

Home The application for the 2022 AOS Summer Research Program is OPEN!

International Volcanological Field School

Katmai trip June 5-18, 2022
Kamchatka trip August 9-22, 2022

UAF’s Department of Geosciences offers a two-week field class in volcanology in cooperation with the Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (IVS) and Kamchatka Branch of Geophysical Survey (KBGS) in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, Russia. The course is offered every summer both in Katmai National Park, Alaska, the site of the largest eruption on Earth of the 20th century, and on one of the active volcanoes of Kamchatka, e.g. Mutnovsky and Gorely, Tolbachik, and Karymsky. Students explore and discuss the full range of phenomena that constitutes volcanoes, using some of the best examples in the world. The course is co-taught at both the undergraduate and graduate level by Pavel Izbekov of UAF, with assistance by Taryn Lopez for larger classes, as well as by guest scientists from Russia, the US, and Japan. Students come from across the US, Russia, Europe, Japan, and occasionally from other countries.

At the Danish Meteorological Institute in Copenhagen, we have an open position for an experienced ocean remote sensing scientist working with sea ice.

The work will involve the development of retrievals of global sea ice concentration and sea ice emissivity from passive microwave observations at DMI and to participate in the development of new satellite missions in collaboration with the European Space Agency (ESA) and EUMETSAT. Fieldwork to Greenland to collect reference data for the validation of the satellite products is also a possibility.

The full announcement is here:
