Post-doc position in atmospheric modeling
The Global Change Research Centre, Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic, seeks a postdoctoral research fellow with the following research focus: Interpretation of data measured at the atmospheric station Křešín u Pacova (Czech Republic) using atmospheric modelling. The main workload will be focused on the application and modification of existing models and development of new models, if necessary. Further, a complex interpretation of the atmospheric station measurement data will be asked.
We ask:
- A PhD degree in global climate change and/or atmospheric modeling related sciences
- Theoretical and practical knowledge in atmospheric modeling (modeling of meteorological parameters,
atmospheric transport, inversion modeling), application and modification of existing models, eventually
development of new models
- Practice in working with datasets, statistics
- Computer skills at a level necessary for atmospheric modeling and data processing, programming
- Capability of independent scientific work including publishing papers in impact factor journals, previous
publishing results
- Participation in project (grants) submissions and realization of research projects
- Good English communication skills
- T eam work
- Willingness to travel about once in two month to (predominantly) European countries
We offer:
- Work in a newly built promising team
- Creative scientific work, self-realization
- Use of data from a research infrastructure of international importance
- Cultivation of national and international cooperation
- Possibility of personal career and scientific growth
- Background of a strong and prestigious scientific institute
- Appropriate salary
- Institutional support of work-life balance and equal opportunities
You may send your application until 30 April 2013. Job-hours will be based upon mutual consensus.
Your application including a structured scientific CV and motivation letter containing a review of scientific themes the applicant would like to cover (in English) and a diploma copy (not necessarily in English) is to be sent by email (Subject: AS TOWER POSTDOC) to pavelka.m@czechglobe.cz or by mail to:

Mid-Term Strategy meeting: Air-Sea Gas Fluxes in Eastern Boundary Upwelling Systems and Oxygen Minimum Zones (OMZs)
Background
Among the new initiatives approved by the SOLAS Scientific Steering Committee, the theme of air-sea exchange of short- and long-term radiatively-active gases in the Eastern Boundary Upwelling Systems (EBUS) and
Oxygen Minimum Zones (OMZs) has been discussed during the SOLAS Open Science Conference in Barcelona (November 2009).
This initiative focuses on the co-existence of specific mechanisms, which are inducing a perturbation of biogeochemical cycles (for instance nitrogen loss, acidification) and acting as an "engine" producing and/or
consuming climatic gases: O2, CO2, N2O, CH4, halogenous compounds. The scientific issues are:

consuming climatic gases: O2, CO2, N2O, CH4, halogenous compounds. The scientific issues are:
1) Which is the complete influence of the OMZs-EBUS on climate change, taking into account the impact of the greenhouse gases, cloud formation and control of O3 and O2?
2) Which are the responsible mechanisms associated with a bio-, photo-, or chemo-degradation of organic matter (including CDOM) for the production of greenhouse gases, e.g. the switch from an aerobic
(O2-respiration) to an anaerobic (via NO3, SO4, methanogenesis, IO3, Fe) remineralization?
2) Which are the responsible mechanisms associated with a bio-, photo-, or chemo-degradation of organic matter (including CDOM) for the production of greenhouse gases, e.g. the switch from an aerobic
(O2-respiration) to an anaerobic (via NO3, SO4, methanogenesis, IO3, Fe) remineralization?
In order to answer these questions in the tropical OMZs-EBUS, the initiative focuses on the eastern tropical Pacific, which corresponds to the largest OMZ.
The workshop, including one day of short presentations and one day and a half for discussion, aims to stimulate an experimental oceanic and atmospheric effort, coordinated at the international scale from 2011-2012.

International Conference on Environment and Resources of the South Pacific
SCOPE
The South Pacific is the largest oceanic area on our planet but also the least known. Nevertheless, two organizations have been established to coordinate actions in the western and eastern regions: the South Pacific Commission and the Permanent Commission for the South Pacific, respectively. Meanwhile, countries in both regions are currently organizing the setting up of the Regional Fishing Organization for the South Pacific.
The need to increase our environmental knowledge of this vast territory, amid concern over the evaluation and management of its exploited resources, is unquestionable. Cultural, technological and scientific exchange will be greatly improved by communicating and sharing the various independent work currently being done throughout the region.
Sharing such information across such a large part of the world is a big challenge and this international conference provides us with an excellent opportunity to meet and discuss our work, experiences and opinions to progress the knowledge base for current and future generations. Thus, the Conference will examine topics related to understanding and managing the ocean environment and its ecosystems that are under, or may come under, commercial exploitation and will build on the work done during the previous International Conference on Marine Resources of the Pacific (Arana 1983).
The conference will be particularly focused on studies related to subjects such as Atmosphere, Oceanography, Aquaculture, Fisheries and Non-Renewable Resources in the South Pacific. Aquaculture topics will be conducted in the context of the “International Aquaculture Congress”, co-organized with the Chilean Aquaculture Society.
It is expected that this conference will represent the beginning of more continuous work, and assist societies, that may seem different but that, together, are able to face the challenge of connecting their disparate activities for the benefit of all.
All presentations and lectures will be published in an internationally recognized regional journal, the Latin American Journal of Aquatic Research (www.lajar.cl).
