Research Scientist and Post-Doc Openings at NOAA Global Monitoring Division
Research Scientist Deadline: Unknown
Post-Doctoral Research Scientist: Unknown
The Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences (CIRES) has an opening for a Radiation Research Scientist with experience in high accuracy solar and infrared radiation measurements and analysis for research in climate monitoring and renewable energy. The position will be in the Global Monitoring Division of NOAA’s Earth System Research Laboratory in Boulder, Colorado. The researcher will work closely with a team of CIRES and federal scientists helping to maintain, improve, and analyze the global radiation (G-RAD) group’s historical and contemporary broadband and spectral radiation measurements from its 21 SURFRAD, SOLRAD, and global sites.
CIRES is also seeking a Post-Doctoral Research Scientist to work in the NOAA Earth System Research Laboratory (ESRL)/Global Monitoring Division (GMD). The scientist will work through the Atmospheric Science for Renewable Energy (ASRE) program which is coordinated across divisions at ESRL (Chemical Sciences, Global Monitoring, Global Systems, and Physical Sciences) with the goal of improving solar and wind forecasts for the renewable energy sector.
Postdoctoral Position with the European Climate Prediction System (EUCP) H2O2O Project
Application Deadline: Unknown
This postdoctoral opportunity at the Insitut Pierre Simon Laplace (IPSL) involves demonstrating the value of convection permitting regional models in studying high impact weather events in a future climate by using the IPSL regional climate model, RegIPSL. IPSL will contribute to the EUCP project by configuring RegIPSL at convection permitting resolutions over Western Europe and studying hydrological extremes.
Candidates need a university degree equivalent to a Master’s or Ph.D. The successful candidate should have a very good knowledge of computer science (unix/linux, python, shell programming, Fortran programming), particularly in the parallel and High Performance Computing environment. The candidate needs to demonstrate a high degree of scientific rigor. He/she should be able to work in English and in a collaborative environment. Knowledge of climate system modeling and netcdf data handling would be significant advantages. Knowledge of the French language is an asset. For more details, view the listing.
Expression of Interest Deadline: 3 September 2018
Full Application Deadline: 31 October 2018
The CLEX node at the University of Melbourne is offering several Ph.D. scholarships on a competitive basis. Topics include data assimilation (DA), ensemble forecasting, dynamics, and predictability.

The team at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) is launching a major recruiting effort, searching for 10-15 researchers at all career stages, immediately. PNNL is looking for scientists from early career to senior level to build, lead, and contribute to projects spanning the atmospheric, climate, and Earth system sciences.
The positions span several different areas; details can be found at https://goo.gl/yL7erM. Some of the topics include:
Application Deadline: Unknown
The Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for Climate Extremes is a major seven-year initiative that brings together five of Australia’s leading universities and a suite of national and international partners. The ARC Centre of Excellence for Climate Extremes’ goal is to transform our understanding of past and present climate extremes and revolutionize our capability to predict them into the future. The Centre is seeking a diverse range of talented postdoctoral research associates to work on projects across the four core research programs of Extreme Rainfall, Heatwaves and Cold Air Outbreaks, Drought, and Climate Variability and Teleconnections.
To succeed in one of these roles you will have a Ph.D., good quantitative skills, and expertise in a relevant field such as climate modeling, climate dynamics, physical oceanography, atmospheric science, hydrology, mathematics, etc. For more information on the projects and links to full position descriptions and application pages, visit http://www.climateextremes.org.au/positions-vacant.html.
