Stillingsbeskrivelse

Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in modeling of clouds

Applications are invited for a 2.5-year Postdoctoral fellowship, at The Department of Geosciences, University of Oslo, in the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences.

The starting date should be as soon as possible. Please note that it is not possible to be appointed as Postdoc for more than one specified period at the same institution.

Job description:

A 2.5-year Postdoctoral fellowship is vacant within modeling of clouds and their interactions with aerosols and climate, at the Section of Meteorology and Oceanography (MetOs). The Section carries out research on various physical, dynamical and chemical aspects of the climate system, often in the context of climate change. Important tools in this research are earth system models, regional atmospheric models, advanced satellite data and data from field campaigns.

The position is funded by the research project EVA (Earth system modelling of climate Variations in the Anthropocene). EVA, which is funded by the Norwegian Research Council, runs from January 2014 until December 2017. EVA is a large co-ordinated national climate research project led from the University of Bergen.

Aerosol-cloud interactions are a major source of uncertainty in projections of future climate. The uncertainty is particularly large for 'cold clouds', i.e. mixed-phase clouds and pure ice clouds. The objective of the planned research is to improve the ability of global climate models to simulate cold clouds and their interactions with aerosols. A key tool for the research will be the Norwegian Earth System Model (NorESM). Model simulations will be validated using aircraft campaign data, as well as satellite data. There will be close interactions with the EU FP7 project BACCHUS (http://www.bacchus-env.eu/) and with the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colorado, U.S.A. A starting point for the research will be a physically-based parameterization scheme for ice crystal nucleation of mineral dust, soot and biological particles that was recently developed at the University of Oslo. Among other things, we will compare the performance of that scheme to that of more efficient and simpler empirical schemes.

QualificationsThe Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences has a strategic ambition of being a leading research faculty. Candidates for these fellowships will be selected in accordance with this, and expected to be in the upper segment of their class with respect to academic credentials.

The candidate must have a PhD or other corresponding education equivalent to a Norwegian doctoral degree in meteorology,oceanography or related areas. In addition, the candidates need to have experience in carrying out simulations with numerical models for the atmosphere,either Numerical Weather Prediction models or Earth System Models.

Good programming skills and experience with Linux/UNIX environments are required.
The candidate will carry out simulations using NorESM, and will also lead the interpretationof results from the model simulations, using available observations for validation. The candidate is expected to lead the writing of scientific papers dealing with the results obtained.

The main purpose of post-doctoral research fellowships is to qualify researchers for work in top academic positions within their disciplines.

Please also refer to the regulations pertaining to the conditions of employment for post-doctoral fellowship positions:https://www.uio.no/english/about/regulations/personnel/academic/guidelines-appointment-postdoc-researcher.html

A good command of English is required.
