18 months RESEARCH SCIENTIST FELLOWSHIP
starting April 2005
################################################## #######
in the Climate Modelling Group of the Research Center of the French
National Meteorological Service in Toulouse, France, (METEO-
FRANCE/CNRM/GMGEC, http://www.cnrm.meteo.fr/ ), to work on the
following subject:
"Analysis of climate change scenarios"
This position will contribute to the ENSEMBLES integrated project
(Ensemble-based Predictions of Climate Changes and their Impacts)
supported by the FP6 Framework programme of the European Union.
In conformity with the gender equality action plan, both women
and men with the required qualifications are encouraged to apply.
A description of the ENSEMBLES project can be found at:
http://www.ensembles-eu.org/
CNRM participates in this project by using its atmospheric general
circulation model ARPEGE-Climat, coupled by means of the CERFACS
coupler OASIS to the IPSL ocean model OPA, and a sea-ice model. This
coupled model will be extended to include other Earth system
components through the PRISM interface. The coupled model will be
applied to perform both seasonal and long-term simulations of climate
change. CNRM will contribute to the analysis of feedbacks linked
to surface hydrology and high latitude processes.
Work description:
-----------------
The proposed work will consist in two main tasks :
1) Participation to the validation of climate simulations and to the
analysis of the climate change scenarios at the global and regional
scale
2) Contribution to the analysis of land surface and high latitude
processes and their relationships with atmospheric variability
at monthly to decadal time scales.
Required Qualifications:
------------------------
Ph.D in Atmospheric or Ocean sciences (or related fields), and
experience of scientific programming is required. Applicants with a
background in atmosphere, ocean or climate modelling will be preferred.
Required computing skills include expertise in various programming
languages (Fortran, Unix, ...), use of supercomputers and of various
graphic softwares (GRADS, Xmgrace, or equivalents...).
The successful applicant will be contracted by Meteo-France and will be
based at the Centre National de la Recherche Meteorologique (Toulouse,
France) within the climate research group. The initial position will
be for 18 months starting in April 2005, with possibility of extension
contingent upon good progress.
Net salary will be 2400 or 2950 euros/month before income
tax, depending on qualifications and experience in the field.
Applicants should send a curriculum vitae (including research
experience,
publications and conferences, computing skill and different language
practise), a statement of reseach interests, and names and contact
information including telephone number of three references to:
jean-francois.royer@meteo.fr
Selection of candidates will begin January 31, and continue
until the position is filled.
