1. Post-Doc position at ESSIC/University of Maryland

Post-Doctoral Research Associate in Satellite Earth Observation

The Earth System Science Interdisciplinary Center at the University of
Maryland seeks to fill a postdoctoral research associate position for
its collaborative research through the Cooperative Institute for Climate
and Satellites. The position will be located at the NOAA Science Center
located in Camp Springs, Maryland. 
 
Responsibilities

The successful candidate will be a member a team responsible for
development and application of a novel re-calibration methodology for
the historic IR Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) data
covering the period 1981-present, with the possibility of extending the
data back to 1978.  The end-result of this project will be a new AVHRR
Fundamental Climate Data Record to be held at the National Climatic Data
Center for use by climate researchers worldwide.  The successful
candidate can also expect to be given time for their own research
including an early opportunity to exploit the long term recalibrated
AVHRR data for climate change studies, for example.

Required Qualifications

PhD (or possibly other postgraduate degree) in a quantitative field of
research, e.g. Physics/Math/ Remote Sensing/Engineering or equivalent
Expertise in any of the following specific areas is a plus:
(a)        Infrared detectors and calibration systems
(b)        Proficiency with high level programming languages such as IDL,
Fortran, C, Unix scripts programming
(c)        Radiative transfer modeling (RTM) in the thermal IR;
(d)        Proficiency with global data handling and quality control procedures;
(e)        Surface temperature retrievals from IR satellite sensors
 
Condition of Employment

The individual will be required to pass a federal Security Assurance Check.

to aid in the development, support, and optimization of its Earth system model.
The applicant is expected to have a masters degree (or equivalent) in the
physical sciences (including chemistry, engineering and mathematics), a
thorough knowledge of Fortran 2003 and C/C++, OpenMP and MPI, UNIX, and at
least one high-level scripting language, as well as experience working with
high-performance computing (HPC) systems. Detailed knowledge of performance
and scalability analysis tools is required. Familiarity with advanced
workflow concepts, particularly in data rich environments, is especially
desired. We are particularly interested in applicants interested in the
following short- to medium-term tasks:
1.        Optimization of codes for massively parallel computers, with
emphasis on the thread level with respect to multi-core CPU architecture, to
prepare our models for the new generation of HPC systems.
2.        Performance investigations and optimization of hybrid parallel codes.
3.        Research on the applicability of PGAS languages for our types of codes.
An applicant's ability to make effective contributions in some subsets of
these areas must be demonstrated by an appropriate track record.
The position is initially offered for two years, with the possibility of
becoming permanent thereafter. Exceptionally qualified candidates may be
offered permanent employment at the outset. The payment depends on
qualification and experience according to a civil service position (TVoeD
E13). The position includes extensive social security plans. The conditions
of employment, including upgrades and duration, follow the rules of the Max
Planck Society for the Advancement of Sciences and those of the German civil
service. 
For further information, please contact the managing director of MPI-M,
Professor Jochem Marotzke, via E-mail (jochem.marotzke@zmaw.de);
applications should be directed to the address listed below.
The Max Planck Institute for Meteorology seeks to increase the number of
female scientists and scientific support staff and encourages them to apply.
Handicapped persons with comparable qualifications receive preferential
status. 
All applications (including a cover letter, a curriculum vitae, copies of
scientific degrees, and the names and contact information of two references)
received before 28th of February will receive full consideration. The
positions will remain open until filled. 
Applications should be sent via E-Mail to application-mpim@zmaw.de (max. 2
