Nomination Deadline: 1 October 2015
As the demand for more accurate regional weather and seasonal predictions as well as climate projections increases, the need to improve the weather and climate models that underpin those predictions and projections becomes more urgent. In recognition of the essential role model development plays to weather and climate science, WCRP and WWRP are seeking nominations for the “WCRP/WWRP International Prize for Model Development.” The prize will be awarded annually for an outstanding contribution to weather and climate model
development by an early- to mid-career researcher. It comprises a certificate signed by the Chairs of the WCRP JSC and WWRP SSC and funding for the recipient to present the results of their research at a major relevant conference or meeting of their choice.
Abstract and Registration Deadline: 30 September 2015 Dates: 9-11 November 2015 Location: University of Osijek, Osijek, Croatia
This workshop will examine the potential for initiating a GEWEX Regional Hydroclimate Project (RHP) over the Pannonian basin – PannEx. GEWEX invites any interested parties to register and submit an abstract by 30 September 2015. The sessions will discuss relevant
issues, such as atmospheric processes, water resources, or vegetation-soil-atmosphere interactions, together with existing structures, consortia, and databases.
Understanding Clouds and PrecipitationAbstract Deadline: 15 September 2015 Dates: 15-19 February 2016 Location: Berlin,
Germany The problem of understanding and simulating clouds and precipitation is longstanding in the modeling community. It is also multidimensional: observation, theory and model development must go hand in hand to improve our understanding. This conference will approach the cloud and precipitation prediction problem in a multi-facted way, using global and fine-scale models, but also addressing advances in computing technology and in observations. Topics
include: - Advances in simulating clouds and precipitation
- Advances in observing clouds and precipitation
- Advances in parametrizing cloud and precipitation
- Process based constraints for climate prediction

The American Meteorological Society 2016 Meeting, with the theme of “Earth System Science in Service to Society,” features sessions relevant to the GEWEX community.
Application Deadline: 26 July 2015
PAGES coordinates and promotes past global change research. Its primary objective is to improve our understanding of past changes in the Earth system in order to obtain better projections of future climate and environment, and inform strategies for sustainability. Successful candidates for the position will have a substantive research record in past
global change science, possess broad interdisciplinary knowledge of past global change science and its application to sustainability research, be experienced in international scientific collaboration, and demonstrate the ability to lead an interdisciplinary, internationally distributed scientific community. For further information on the role, PAGES, and the application procedure, please refer to the Position Description at www.pages-igbp.org/download/docs/jobs/exec-dir-pd.pdf.
Application Deadline: 4 August 2015
The University of Reading is looking for a talented scientist to carry out research on atmospheric convection as part of the IMPALA project. In collaboration with scientists at the Met Office, the
candidate will design, perform, and analyze high-resolution simulations of atmospheric convection to inform development of the convection parametrization scheme within the Met Office Climate Model.
Application Deadline: 28 August 2015
The Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) is recruiting up to three postdoctoral research associates to work on projects related to
high-resolution global Climate and Earth System models. PNNL is particularly interested in features pertaining to the Earth’s water cycle, aerosol-cloud-climate interactions, and interactions between Earth’s atmosphere and surface components that are often influenced by natural and anthropogenic gaseous and aerosol emissions.
Selected candidates will work with PNNL scientists on one or more of the following projects: 1) ACME (Accelerated Climate Modeling for Energy); 2) HiLAT (High Latitude Climate Change modeling); 3) development
and evaluation of CEDS (the Community Emission Data System) and subsequent climate science application exploring emissions role in climate change; and 4) a nascent project in climate/computational science that includes a component to explore efficient model testing and evaluation
methods using ensembles of simulations suitable for next generation computing systems. For more information, visit the application site. |
