[RegCNET] ICTP job opportunities - Regional Modeling

[Rauscher Sara_A_]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Job Announcement: Two post-doctoral positions in regional climate modeling
at the Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics.

Deadline for Application: 27 June 2008

The Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) is
accepting applications for two post-doctoral positions within the ICTP
Earth System Physics section. The positions will be within the framework
of the regional climate modeling activities of the section, although the
candidates will have the opportunity to also explore other areas. In
particular, we seek candidates with demonstrated working experience in
either of the two following subjects:

1) Development of non-hydrostatic, efficient and accurate dynamical cores

2) Development of cloud microphysics and cumulus convection schemes

The final goal of this work is to upgrade the ICTP regional climate
modeling system (RegCM) to a next-generation non-hydrostatic, cloud
resolving framework. The candidates will thus be requested to implement
the schemes within the RegCM parallel code structure in collaboration with
the other staff members of the section.

The mission of the ICTP is to foster science in developing nations,
therefore these positions will offer ample opportunities to interact with
developing nation scientists. In addition, the candidates will have the
opportunity to work within the framework of various European projects the
ICTP is currently involved in.

The starting net salary will be in the range of 2200-2500 Euros per month
depending on the applicants' experience and the appointment will be for
one year, renewable for up to two additional years, starting as soon as
possible.

If you wish to apply, please send a Statement of Interest, a Proposal of
Work and a complete Curriculum Vitae to Ms. Pandora Pieri, at
pandora at ictp.it. The deadline for application is June 27, 2008.
