Post Doc Res Assoc or Research Scientist Associate – Atmospheric Science (2x)
Location: University of Wyoming, Laramie (WY), USA
Application Deadline: Review of applications will begin November 6, 2025, and will continue until the position is filled.
The University of Wyoming department of Atmospheric Science is seeking to fill two postdoctoral/associate research science positions in one of the following fields: Aerosol cloud interactions, cloud radiative effect and cloud feedback, atmospheric chemistry,extreme weather events, or planning observational deployments. The hired candidate will join an existing team to work on the on the Perturbed parameter ensemble Regression Optimization Center for Earth system model Evaluation and Development PROCEED; https://github.com/PROCEED-ESM project. PROCEED is a Department of Energy (DOE) supported initiative at the University of Wyoming and University of Hawaii at Manoa focused on reducing uncertainty in Earth System Model (ESM) predictions at the seasonal to decadal scale.
Director of the CLIVAR International Project Office
Location: Ocean University of China (OUC), Qingdao, China
Application deadline: 30 November 2025
The Ocean University of China (OUC) and the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP) invite applications for the post of Director of the CLIVAR (Climate and Ocean – Variability, Predictability, and Change) International Project Office (ICPO), based in Qingdao, China. The director will lead a team, define the IPO’s identity and fulfill its mandate. This is a full-time position available immediately.
CLIVAR, launched in 1995, is one of the six core projects of the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP). CLIVAR’s mission is to understand the dynamics, the interaction, and the predictability of the climate system with emphasis on ocean-atmosphere interactions.
The ICPO provides overall support for the planning and implementation of CLIVAR priorities and ensures appropriate international coordination and communication between the CLIVAR Scientific Steering Group (SSG) and groups within the CLIVAR structure, and collaboration with related WCRP and other international programs.
Working Group Members for LHA Digital Earth
Location: N/A
Application Deadline: 2 January 2026
The WCRP Digital Earth Lighthouse Activity (LHA)is seeking nominations (including self-nominations) for Working Group (WG) members for each of it’s three main activities:
PhD studentship on Causal Cloud Controlling Factors
Location: University of Exeter, United Kingdom
Application Deadline: 8 January 2026
This project is one of a number that are in competition for funding from the NERC Great Western Four+ Doctoral Training Partnership (GW4+ DTP). The GW4+ DTP consists of the Great Western Four alliance of the University of Bath, University of Bristol, Cardiff University and the University of Exeter plus five Research Organisation partners: British Antarctic Survey, British Geological Survey, Centre for Ecology and Hydrology, the Natural History Museum and Plymouth Marine Laboratory. The partnership aims to provide a broad training in earth and environmental sciences, designed to train tomorrow’s leaders in earth and environmental science. For further details about the program please see http://nercgw4plus.ac.uk/.
This project aims to provide a better understanding of how cloudiness affects, and is affected by, environmental factors called “cloud controlling factors”. Success of this goal will be of benefit to a wide range of scientific communities, because the interactions of clouds with the mean climate is consistently the most difficult aspect of climate change to estimate correctly.
Deadline Pre-applications: 23 December 2025 (required)
As part of the Fiscal Year 2026 Open Call (DE-FOA-0003600), the DOE Office of Science program in Biological and Environmental Research (BER) is accepting funding applications in the thematic research topics of atmospheric process research and earth-energy systems modeling.
The major thematic research topics for BER under this Funding Opportunity are:
- (a) Microbiome Research
- (b) Atmospheric Process Research
- (c) Environmental Systems Process Research
- (d) Earth-Energy Systems Modeling
8th International Baltic Earth Winter School on “Earth System Science for the Baltic Sea Region”
Dates: 23–27 March 2026
Location: Park Inn by Radisson Central Tallinn, Estonia
Application Deadline: 15 January 2026
The interdisciplinary 8th International Baltic Earth Winter School on “Earth System Science for the Baltic Sea Region” will provide a broad overview of ongoing research activities on the Earth system in the Baltic Sea region and will cover the processes and variability from micro- to global scale and from short-term to climate timescale. All compartments of the Earth system, such as the atmosphere, ocean, sea ice, land surface, and terrestrial and marine ecosystems will be discussed.
PhD students and early career scientists (postdocs) from the Baltic Sea region are invited to apply
Summer School on Runoff Predictions in Ungauged Basins
Dates: 22–26 June 2026
Location: Vienna, Austria
Application Deadline: 1 May 2026
This summer school is devoted to runoff prediction in ungauged basins (PUB), i.e., predicting water runoff at locations where no runoff data are available. This lack of data presents considerable challenges to catchment managers who require information on water flows for decision making. This course will provide hydrologists with the theory and methods to address this critical challenge.
Masters and Ph.D. students researching catchment hydrology and practicing hydrologists who are challenged by making predictions in the absence of runoff data are invited to apply.
