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), 
Trieste, Italy, 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) Devolpment 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 candidate's 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.
