Ph.D. studentship in climate downscaling, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada
A Canadian research network on climate downscaling has provided funding for a Ph.D./M.Sc. student in the Dept. of Earth and Ocean Sciences, at the Univ. of British Columbia. Research would involve using machine learning/statistical methods (e.g. neural networks, kernel methods) to downscale the coarse-resolution global climate/weather model outputs to finer, local scales. Applications include precipitation and extreme weather forecasts, and climate change scenarios.

The position is available at the Department of Mathematics at the University of Potsdam (Germany) and is part of collaborative work with the Freie Universität Berlin, Imperial College London, and the CWI Amsterdam.
The group has developed novel numerical methods based on Lagrangian and semi-Lagrangian formulations of atmospheric fluid dynamics.
These methods display excellent conservation properties, which are of fundamental importance to long term predictability. The multi-scale aspect of atmospheric dynamics is treated by a regularization approach jointly developed with the UK Met Office.
The successful applicant will be part of the theoretical and practical development of these methods into a fully three dimensional simulation methodology for atmospheric circulation.
