–Postdoctoral postions (2x) – Ecohydrology Modeling and Water Resource Management
Location: National University of Singapore, Singapore
Application Deadline: Review of applications will begin November 20, 2022, and conclude when the positions are filled.
The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the National University of Singapore (NUS) and the Resilient Water Systems Group (SUTD) invite applications for two Research Fellow (Postdoc) positions in Ecohydrology Modeling and Water Resources Management to begin in early 2023.
The project “On the origin of droughts in Mainland Southeast Asia—implications for water and energy security” aims to disentangle the origin of recent droughts in Southeast Asia and, therefore, determine how management and climatic influences are affecting the spatial distribution of water availability in the present and in the future. In particular, the project aims to: (1) quantify the spatio-temporal variability of water fluxes in the hydrosphere and biosphere, (2) quantify how water management interventions redistribute water availability, (3) examine how future changes in hydro-climatological conditions and anthropogenic interventions will affect droughts in the next decades, and (4) determine how future droughts will affect water and power supply security.

A broad range of approaches will be considered that includes modeling and analysis, sensing and monitoring, applied science and engineering of materials and devices, and climate intervention.
Tenure-Track Assistant Professor (3x)- Atmospheric Science
Location: University of Wyoming, Laramie, WY, USA
Application Deadline: Review of applications will begin December 10, 2022, and conclude when the positions are filled.
The University of Wyoming (UW) invites applications for three Tenure-Track (TT) Assistant Professor positions:
Postdoctoral Research Associate I (Multiple Positions)
Location: University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ, USA
Target hire date is January 3, 2023
The Department of Hydrology and Atmospheric Sciences at the University of Arizona (UA) is seeking 2 motivated postdoctoral scholars in hydrology and atmospheric sciences. As part of the effort, the successful candidates will work with a team of investigators from the University of Arizona, other universities, and/or federal agencies to improve hydrologic models and forecasting, as well as the coupling of land surface and atmospheric models to support Earth System Predictions. They would be joining a team that includes a broad range of expertise in land-surface and atmospheric modeling, the use of in situ and remote sensing observations for hydrologic analysis and modeling, downscaling, and data sciences.
Assistant Professor in Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, Tropical-Extratropical Interactions
Location: McGill University, Burnside Hall, Montreal, QC, Canada
Application Deadline: Review of applications will begin January 16th, 2023
The successful candidate is expected to pursue research in various aspects of tropical-extratropical processes, such as but not limited to dynamics, moist processes, impacts on forecasting at all scales, atmosphere-ocean interactions, and their changing nature under climate change, employing observations, modelling and/or theory.
Postdoctoral Fellowships in Met Éireann (3)
Location: Met Éireann, HQ, Glasnevin, Dublin 9, Ireland
Application Deadline: 20 January 2023
Met Éireann, a line division of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, is seeking expressions of interests in the following research fellowships, which will commence as soon as possible.
Postdoc Position (100% TV L E13)
Location: University of Hohenheim, Stuttgart, Germany
Target starting date is February 1, 2023
The institute of Physics and Meteorology (IPM) at the University of Hohenheim is seeking a postdoc for the Land Atmosphere Feedback Observatory (LAFO) starting on February 1, 2023, in order to perform research studies on land-atmosphere (L-A) interaction.
LAFO operates a worldwide unique synergy of in-situ sensors, scanning wind, humidity and temperature lidar systems as well as radar sys- tems. This sensor synergy is applied to determine surface fluxes as well as turbulence pro- files in order to investigate new relationships among gradients, variances, and fluxes. Due to its configuration as observatory, a characterization of the diurnal cycle, transitions, the mesoscale and seasonal variability of the cloud-free and cloudy planetary boundary layer (PBL) as well as the moisture and energy budgets shall be achieved. The results shall be applied to study L-A feedback and to develop new parameterizations of L-A fluxes and turbulence including entrainment.
These objectives will be addressed in cooperation with an international research team that includes among others, e.g., NOAA and NASA in the US, the GEWEX Global Land/Atmosphere System Study (GLASS), and the Local Land-Atmosphere Coupling (LoCo) Working Group of the World Climate Research Programme.
Assistant Professor – Radar and Mesoscale/Synoptic Meteorology
Location: Florida State University, Tallahassee, FL, USA
Application Deadline: None specified
The Department of Earth, Ocean and Atmospheric Science (EOAS) at the Florida State University (FSU) invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor position in the area of Radar and Mesoscale/Synoptic Meteorology. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in radar meteorology and will use radars to address fundamental research questions on the physics and/or dynamics of Mesoscale/Synoptic Meteorology and their interactions with larger and/or smaller scale phenomena.
The successful candidate is expected to develop and maintain a vigorous externally funded research program in their area of interest and to contribute to both the undergraduate and graduate degree programs in the department. This includes contributing to teaching undergraduate courses in synoptic and mesoscale meteorology as well as teaching/developing other undergraduate and graduate courses in the candidate’s area of research specialization.
Postdoctoral Research Staff Member – Climate Sensitivity & Impacts Group
Location: Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), Livermore, CA, USA
Application Deadline: None specified
LLNL has an opening for a Postdoctoral Researcher to work in the area of cloud feedbacks with the goal of reducing the uncertainty in model predictions of future climate. Research topics may include but are not limited to understanding the role of clouds in Earth’s energy imbalance, evaluating climate model representation of the processes governing cloud responses on a variety of timescales, and developing observational constraints on cloud feedbacks.
This position is with LLNL’s PCMDI project (pcmdi.llnl.gov) and will sit in the Climate Sensitivity and Impacts Group in the Atmospheric, Earth, and Energy Division.
Note: This is a two-year Postdoctoral appointment with the possibility of extension to a maximum of three years.
