invites applications for the following positions:
Research associate to participate in a project on assessment of long-
term, in situ and remotely-sensed, ocean and climate observations. The
emphasis in this project is on quantifying error characteristics of
current data products and developing requirements for future data
products and observing systems. Background requirements include a Ph.D.
degree or an M.S. degree with at least five years relevant
experience in Meteorology/Physical Oceanography/closely-related field,
and some experience with statistical analysis techniques.
Research associate to participate in a project on global and regional
water cycles. The emphasis in this project is on quantifying
interactions between decade-to-century scale variability and change in
Earth System components, and global and regional water cycles as
simulated by state-of-the-art, global coupled Earth System models and
intermediate models. Background requirements include a Ph.D. degree or
an M.S. degree with at least five years relevant experience in
Meteorology/Physical Oceanography/Hydrology/closely-related field, and
some experience with coupled Earth System models and statistical
analysis techniques.
Some experience of using Unix/Linux-operated workstations and data
servers, and graphics software such as GrADS and IDL is essential.
Appointments in these positions will begin on or about 15 February 2005.
Starting salary and fringe benefits will be commensurate with
qualifications and experience. These positions will remain open until
filled; however, to ensure full consideration, please send a curriculum
vita, a statement of research interests, and names of three references
before 15 November 2004 to:
