- UNIS seeks PhD Candidates
Meteorology: Air-Cryosphere-Sea Interaction Processes
Svalbard, Norway
The University Centre in Svalbard (UNIS) seeks candidates for a PhD
student position in meteorology to study air-cryosphere-Ssa interaction
processes around Svalbard and in the Arctic This is a four-year position
and will be based in Longyearbyen, Svalbard, Norway.
The main objective of this PhD project is an enhanced understanding of
the linkage between local and larger-scale weather conditions over the
region of Svalbard, and related exchange processes connected to the
atmospheric boundary layer such as orographically influenced flows and
air-cryosphere-sea interactions.
The successful candidate will have an active part in fieldwork around
Svalbard for the collection of new datasets related to the research
project and will have access to and make use of a broad range of
scientific tools and databases including long term climate records from
automatic weather stations (AWS), atmospheric reanalysis datasets,
numerical weather prediction models and various measurement platforms
for atmospheric research, including AWS and novel, remotely piloted
measurement systems. Experience with several of theses tools and datasets
is preferable.
The PhD candidate is expected to take an active role in producing
peer-review papers within the mentioned topics that eventually will lead
to the final PhD dissertation. Some teaching and supervision of
undergraduate and Master students can be expected.
The successful candidate must have a Master degree in meteorology,
oceanography or a related field and a good understanding of atmospheric
boundary-layer and/or regional-scale processes is preferred. Experience
from fieldwork and skills in using scientific instruments for making
meteorological observations are an advantage, as well as experience with
atmospheric models and reanalysis data sets.
Admission to the doctoral program at the Geophysical Institute,
University of Bergen, is a condition of employment in the position as
PhD student. The final plan for researcher education shall be approved
and a contract signed with the mainland university at the latest six
months after commencement. The candidate and the supervisors will
prepare the application.
Applications deadline: Wednesday, 15 July 2015.
