> 1. Two Research Positions Available
> Arctic Meteorology
> Stockholm University
> Stockholm, Sweden
>
> The Department of Meteorology at Stockholm University announces a call
> for applications for two research positions in Arctic meteorology.
> These
> position, within two interlinked four-year projects, will be located
> at
> the Stockholm University in Stockholm, Sweden.
>
> These positions are within interlinked projects funded by the European
> Commission's Horizon 202 programs: the Advanced Prediction in Polar
> regions and beyond: modelling, observing system design and LInkages
> associated with a Changing Arctic climate (APPLICATE) and the
> INTegrated
> Arctic Observing System (INTAROS).
>
> The APPLICATE project is to investigate ways to improve weather and
> climate prediction in the face of a rapidly changing Arctic. The
> project
> concerns improving model parameterizations of Arctic processes with a
> special emphasis on clouds, boundary-layers, and the interaction at
> the
> ocean/sea-ice/atmosphere interfaces. The work will be done using
> observations and implementing theoretical insights in a newly
> developed
> coupled single-column model, as well as in global coupled
> simulations on
> both weather and climate timescales.
>
> INTAROS aims to design an integrated and interdisciplinary sustainable
> pan-Arctic observation system. This research position targets the
> atmosphere and, in particular, characterizing and understanding the
> vertical structure of the lower atmosphere over the Arctic Ocean. In
> the
> intial phase the focus will be on investigating existing operational
> and
> scientific databases, especially focusing on space-borne observations,
> identifying observational gaps, and suggesting actions. Later the
> successful applicant may become involved in designing a quasi-
> autonomous
> atmospheric observatory on the Swedish icebreaker Oden.
>
> Applicants are expected to hold a Swedish doctoral degree or an
> equivalent degree from another country, in meteorology, oceanography,
> climate science, or related fields, or in computer science,
> statistics,
> or related fields. For the APPLICATE position, experience in analyzing
> model results and/or model development analysis will be considered an
> advantage. For the INTAROS position, previous experience with analysis
> of Arctic weather and climate will be considered an advantage.
>
> Applicants should have exceptional knowledge of oral and written
> English. Doctoral candidates may apply for the position if they expect
> to receive the PhD degree before the starting date of the position.
>
> Application deadline: 1 February 2017.
>
> Position start date: 1 September 2017 or earlier as agreed.

> 2. PhD Position Available
> Physical Oceanography/Hydro-Acoustics
> University of Tromso
> Department of Geosciences
> Tromso, Norway
>
> The Faculty of Science and Technology at the University of Tormso
> (UiT)
> Arctic University of Norway announce a call for applications for a PhD
> position studying physical oceanography/hydro-acoustics. This four-
> year
> appointment will be located in Tromso, Norway.
>
> The successful candidate will participate in the faculty's organized
> research training and the PhD project shall be completed during the
> period of employment. The successful candidate will study short- and
> long-term natural evolution of gas releases of gas-hydrated seabed
> environments by investigating the interactions between ocean and
> seabed
> environments. Observations will include 3D numerical modeling of the
> oceanographic and thermogenic and biogenic gas expulsion system. Model
> predictions of long-term evolution of the environmental changes will
> be
> cross-checked against existing time records. Oceanographic,
> geochemical,
> and acoustic data sets from long-term (greater than two years)
> seafloor
> observatory stations have been already collected along the western
> Svalbard margin and northwestern Barents Sea. This project will
> start on
> a combination of geochemistry and physical oceanography data with
> further data collection on research cruises. The successful candidate
> will analyze and compare time series of hydro-acoustic (echosounder,
> multibeam, and hydrophone) and ocean chemistry data to estimate the
> variability and quantity of biogenic and thermogenic methane releases
> from the seabed and identify earlier signs of these release and
> impacts.
>
> The successful candidate will have a Master's degree in physical
> oceanography or related field. Experience in numerical modeling and
> use
> of hydro-acoustics, time series analyses, computing skills, and
> knowledge of Matlab programming will be an asset. This position will
> involve multiple research cruises to the Arctic Ocean and Barents Sea,
> where a variety of field sampling techniques and novel oceanographic
> underwater technologies will be learned.
>
> This position is associated with the Norwegian Research Council Center
> of Excellence Center for Arctic Gas Hydrate, Climate, and Environment
> (CAGE) at the Department of Geosciences.
>
> Application materials must include:
>
> - A letter of application;
> - A curriculum vitae containing a complete overview of education,
> supervised professional training, and professional work;
> - Names and addresses of three references;
> - Diploma and transcript from Bachelor's degree or equivalent;
> - Diploma and transcript from Master's degree or equivalent;
> - Diploma supplement for completed degrees;
> - Documentation of English language proficiency; and
> - List of works and descriptions of works.
>
> The list of works must contain:
>
> - Author(s) and the work's title;
> - For articles: the journal's name, volume, first and last page
> numbers
> of article, and year of publication; and
> - For publications: publisher, printer, year of publication, and
> number
> of pages.
