Senior Lecturer / Researcher in Climate-related biogeochemical modeling

Stockholm University announces a tenured position (80% research and 20% teaching).
Deadline for application: January 31, 2012.

Stockholm University announces a position at the Department of Applied Environmental Science (ITM) as Universitets lektor in Climate-related biogeochemical modeling.

(Swedish tenured position approximately equivalent to Senior Lecturer @ UK or Associate Professor @ US)

Deadline for application: January 31, 2012.

The position is tenured and will during the first five years comprise 80% research and 20% teaching.

The research focus is modeling of the terrestrial biogeochemical system and its interactions with climate, the atmosphere and the hydrosphere, particularly in arctic permafrost systems.

The position is part of the Bolin Centre's capacity building within the field of numerical climate modeling. The Bert Bolin Centre for Climate Research at Stockholm University (www.bbcc.su.se) is dedicated to fundamental research on key features of the climate system. The Bolin Centre brings together climate research at the departments of Meteorology, Physical Geography and Quaternary Geology, Geological Sciences, and Applied Environmental Science. The research program comprises processes and dynamics governing the natural evolution and variability of our climate as well as anthropogenic influences on the climate system.

The Department of Applied Environmental Science (ITM) at Stockholm University (www.itm.su.se) has a strong research focus (>100 peer-reviewed articles per year) spanning from environmental chemistry and toxicology to atmospheric science and biogeochemistry. The units for atmospheric science and biogeochemistry emphasize the study of aerosols and carbon-climate links at high latitudes. Permafrost carbon dynamics are a particular focus of ITM scientists collaborating with partners throughout the research environment.

University of Birmingham, UK

Two positions (PDRA and Technician) are available at the University of Birmingham to work on the recently funded NERC HiTemp project.

The Urban Heat Island (UHI) is a direct consequence of anthropogenic influences on our local climate. Many studies have been devoted to the study of UHI extent and magnitude, as well as the impacts increased urban temperatures have on meteorology, climatology, human health and society. Although the UHI phenomenon is well documented and studies have increased our understanding, the basic measurement of temperatures across urban areas remains very limited.  Birmingham is the UK's second most populous city, with a population in excess of 1 million people and a well defined UHI.  However, Birmingham has only two climate stations which when linked with the complex heterogeneous urban morphology results in extremely poor data coverage.  The overall aim of HiTemp is to provide a demonstration sensor network designed to measure air temperature across the Birmingham conurbation.  This will be achieved by installing a nested array of sensors across Birmingham consisting of over 30 weather stations in a course array as well as wide array of over 250 dedicated air temperature sensors.  The project will make Birmingham the most densely instrumented city in the world for urban climate research.
