Satellite and in-situ data")

Deadline for application : 08/04/2005 evening

Contact person : Vincent-Henri.Peuch@meteo.fr (CNRM/GMGEC/CARMA)

Location : Centre National de Recherches Météorologiques (CNRM),
Toulouse, France

Duration : 18 months initially, with 2 possible renewals
(18 months + 12 months) over the total duration of the GEMS
project (48 months) ; starting at the project kick-off
(mid-may, early june 2005) or as soon as possible
after.

Salary : approx. 2400 euros/month (net)

The atmospheric chemistry assimilation and modelling
team of CNRM (GMGEC/CARMA) is involved in the European
project GEMS, which starts in the near future. GEMS has been
selected within the GMES (Global Monitoring for Environment
and Security) call concerning atmospheric
composition. The project is lead by the European Centre
for Medium-range Weather Forecast (A. Hollingsworth)
and aims at developing an assimilation and forecast
system for Greenhouse gases, aerosols, reactive gases
and air quality. Within GEMS, CNRM leads the "Regional Air
Quality" subproject and is also involved in the "Global
Reactive Gases" ; both activities are carried out
with Météo-France Chemistry and Transport Model MOCAGE.
The person will be involved in :

- implementing, optimising and running MOCAGE on
ECMWF IBM computer and coupling it with the IFS Numerical
Weather Prediction Model.

- contributing to the global reactive gases
activities.

- contributing to the regional air quality activities
and assisting the sub-project manager for the
co-ordination and interaction with partners (18).

Applicants must have a phD or engineering degree, with
experience in : assimilation and modelling in atmospheric
dynamics or chemistry ; parallel scientific software development or
optimization ; participation to international projects and
contribution to associated publications. It is required that they are
familiar with coding in Fortran and using UNIX. Applicants must
be fluent in English.

Applications will be received till Friday April 8th 2005
evening. They should be sent be e-mail to
