Education & Training Opportunities
Subseasonal to Seasonal Prediction Panel Member
Location: N/A
Application Deadline: 1 June 2026
WCRP’s core project Earth System Modelling and Observations (ESMO) is seeking members to join the new panel on Subseasonal to Seasonal Prediction. This is an opportunity to join a group of experts contributing to the understanding and prediction of anomalous conditions and extremes across the Earth system on subseasonal timescales (from two weeks to two months ahead).
Members are expected to have expertise and experience in atmospheric or related sciences, particularly in advancing S2S research and predictive capabilities. They should demonstrate a strong understanding of the Earth system, including interactions among its various components (atmosphere, ocean, land, sea-ice, aerosols, atmospheric chemistry), interactions across spatial and temporal scales, climate variability modes, as well as local and remote influences (teleconnections). Experience in modeling, ensemble prediction, and related evaluation and verification is highly desirable. Prior involvement in national or international research initiatives is preferred, as it may facilitate collaborations with related groups and activities.
Location: Max-Planck-Institut, Hamburg, Germany
Application Deadline: 15 June 2026
The Max-Planck Institute seeks application for a Postdoctoral scientist for their Climate Dynamics Department. The role of land in shaping the large-scale atmospheric circulation remains incompletely understood, particularly in how land influences climate variability and response to forcing. The successful candidate will use idealized simulations with the ICON model to isolate mechanisms by which land affects ENSO, the local Hadley Circulations, and the subtropical anticyclones. They will also investigate the two-way relationship between land temperatures and sea surface temperature patterns.
The successful postdoc will lead the design and analysis of the experiments and is expected to develop independent research directions within this framework, in collaboration with Sarah Kang and Moritz Guenther.
Postdoc in Radar-Based Quantitative Precipitation Estimation within project EuRadCA
Location: TU Delft, Delft, The Netherlands
Application Deadline: 30 June 2026
TU Delft is looking for a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to join the European Radar Crowdsourced Atmospheric (data) (EuRadCA) project, a German-Dutch collaboration focused on advancing radar-based quantitative precipitation estimation across Europe. This new position offers a unique opportunity to work at the interface of radar hydrometeorology, geospatial analysis, and machine learning, leveraging large-scale European radar datasets such as OPERA.
Key responsibilities
- Radar data processing and QPE development
- Evaluation of rainfall extremes
- Collaboration and coordination
Postdoctoral Research Scientist
Location: Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, New York, NY, USA
Application Deadline: Until filled
The Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University is accepting applications for a Postdoctoral Research Scientist (PDRS) in the broad area at the intersection of radiation, circulation, and the structure of earth’s atmosphere. The Postdoctoral Research Scientist will build on recent theoretical progress in understanding how the composition and spectroscopy of earth’s atmosphere determine atmospheric structure and the response to perturbations.
International School on Satellite Meteorology (ISSM) 2026
Dates: 31 August–4 September 2026
Locaation: Lipari, Aeolian Islands (Sicily), Italy
Application Deadline: 30 June 2026
ISSM school is an advanced training program for Ph.D. students and postdoctoral fellows in physical, environmental, atmospheric, or related sciences, and early career operational meteorologists and researchers, covering the major themes of satellite meteorology, sensor technology of spacecrafts, and new space missions for meteorology and atmospheric studies.
Main Topics
- Remote sensing theory and satellite retrieval methods
- The physics of ice hydrometeors
- Severe storms in the Mediterranean explored from MTG, EarthCare and GPM-C
- Impact of meteo extremes on the cultural and natural heritage (CNH)
- Sensor technologies of small satellites (CubeSat)
- A special focus on the challenging ESA missions WIVERN and CAIRT
