> Ph.D. Position: Polar meteorology/ stable oxygen isotope modeling
>
> The polar meteorology group of the Institute of Meteorology and Geophysics
> (IMGI) at the University of Innsbruck, Austria, is looking for a Ph.D.
> student to fill a 3-year position in the field of polar meteorology and
> stable oxygen isotope modeling.
>
> The position is funded by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF) through the
> research project ?Precipitation mechanisms at Antarctic deep drilling
> sites?. The project aims at a better understanding of precipitation
> mechanisms and moisture transport in the dry interior of the Antarctic
> continent. The precipitation study will be combined with an investigation
> of stable oxygen isotopes of fresh snow samples from the deep drilling site
> Dome C. Especially the only recently measurable delta 17-O is poorly
> understood so far and will be studied using the fresh snow samples in a
> stable isotope model. Overall goal is a better understanding of the stable
> isotope-air temperature relationship that is used in ice core studies of
> paleoclimate.
>
> The successful candidate will conduct simulations with the stable isotope
> model MCIM (Mixed Cloud Isotope Model), which was developed at LSCE,
> combined with trajectory calculations and a study of the synoptic
> situations during precipitation carried out by the PI. The position is
> initially for one year with extension to three years after positive
> evaluation.
>
> The research is carried out in close cooperation with the National Center
> for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), Boulder, Colorado, the Laboratoire des
> Sciences du Climat et de l?Environnement (LSCE), Gif-sur-Yvette, France,
> and the University of Triest, Italy.
>
> Qualifications: Master's degree (or equivalent) in meteorology/atmospheric
> science or CLOSELY related field. Excellent knowledge of synoptic/dynamic
> meteorology, experience in an advanced computer language (e.g. Fortran) and
> Matlab as well as Shell Script; good communication/writing skills; basic
> knowledge of cloud physics would be desirable.
>
> Enquiries and applications including a short statement of motivation, CV,
> certificates, Master's thesis abstract, list of publications (if
> any) and contact information for two professional referees should be sent
> electronically (pdf file) to the project PI:
>
> Dr. Elisabeth Schlosser
> Inst. of Meteorology and Geophysics
> University of Innsbruck
> Innrain 52
> A-6020 Innsbruck
> Austria
> Elisabeth.Schlosser@uibk.ac.at
>
> Closing date: until filled. The position will start in fall (oct.
> plus/minus 1 month) 2012.
> For further information about the PI and IMGI see http;//imgi.uibk.ac.at or

>
> The University of Innsbruck aims at increasing the proportion of women at
> all levels of employment; therefore applications by qualified women are
> especially encouraged.
