The Climate Research Laboratory of the Parc Científic de Barcelona
(University of Barcelona, Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain) invites
applications to the following positions:

1) One research scientist contract (more than 2-yrs post-doctoral
experience required)in coupled ocean-atmosphere modelling. Proved
capacity in leading a research group/initiative is required. An academic
qualification comparable in the field of meteorology, physics,
chemistry, or a related discipline is required. Experience in
programming (FORTRAN90, UNIX, C++, Matlab) is a plus. The selected
candidate is expected to contribute to the current research programme on
natural climate variability and predictability (seasonal-to-interannual)
in the Mediterranean region, using either a CGCM, a regional model or a
simplified atmospheric general circulation model (AGCM) either forced by
historical or prescribed sea surface temperatures. For this reason
he/she must be capable of developing a research programme for the next
five years, which will be submitted together with the application. A
good basis on climate diagnostics is encouraged as well as a proven
capability to work with interactive diagnostic packages for the analysis
of gridded data-sets. Important notice: The application must be directly
filled via the website of the Spanish Ministry of Education
http://wwwn.mec.es/ciencia/jsp/plantilla.jsp?area=cajal&id=21 by 4th
April 2005.

The contract is offered for five years, if successful after external
evaluation with payment according to a Ramon y Cajal contract (website
Núria please). Extension to tenure is possible for very successful
candidates, after strict evaluation at completion of the five year
contract. Please submit a complete cv separate from the direct
application to the attention of:

Núria Rosés (project manager)
nroses[at]pcb.ub.es
On behalf of Prof. Xavier Rodó
ICREA and Climate Research Laboratory
Parc Científic de Barcelona
University of Barcelona
Catalunya (Spain)

2) One post-doctoral contract (3-yr duration)to work on mesoscale models
and in the development and implementation of regional atmospheric models
of the transport, chemical transformation and fate of greenhouse gases
in the atmosphere of the Mediterranean region towards the accurate
characterization of regional budgets for specific atmospheric species.
Knowledge of MESO-NH is highly valued though lack of it will not result
in a negative assessment. Applicants with previous experience in
regional atmospheric modelling in any region of the world will be given
preference. The contract is offered for three years, if successful after
external evaluation with payment according to a Juan de la Cierva
contract
http://wwwn.mec.es/ciencia/jsp/plantilla.jsp?area=delacierva&id=21 .
Please submit your application, together with a complete cv, the
names, addresses and telephone numbers of three references and a
tentative workprogramme (max. two pages) for the next three years to the
attention of:

Núria Rosés (project manager)
nroses[at]pcb.ub.es
On behalf of Prof. Xavier Rodó
ICREA and Climate Research Laboratory

3) One post-doctoral contract (3-yr duration)to work on climate
variability and predictability issues in tropical regions and/or
midlatitudes. Experience in climate modelling will be positively valued
and programming (FORTRAN90, UNIX, C++, Matlab) is a plus. Skill in
climate diagnostics is encouraged as well as a proven capability to work
with interactive diagnostic packages for the analysis of gridded
data-sets. The contract is offered for three years, if successful after
external evaluation with payment according to a Juan de la Cierva
contract
http://wwwn.mec.es/ciencia/jsp/plantilla.jsp?area=delacierva&id=21 .
Please submit your application by 29 March 2005, together with a
complete cv, the names, addresses and telephone numbers of three
references and a tentative workprogramme (max. two pages) for the next
three years to the attention of:
