Researcher – Irish Soil Moisture Observation Network
Location: one of Met Éireann’s locations (HQ, Glasnevin, Cahersiveen, Shannon Airport), Ireland
Application Deadline: 18 July 2025 extended 1 August 2025
Met Éireann, a line division of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, is seeking expressions of interests in a research fellowship (fixed term contract).
The recently established Irish Soil Moisture Monitoring Network (ISMON) initiative aims to enhance Ireland’s capability to monitor soil moisture conditions in real time and over the long term. ISMON consists of 10 sites equipped with state-of-the-art Cosmic-Ray Neutron Sensor technology, covering major soil types, land uses, and climatic regimes in Ireland. This project is a collaborative effort led by University College Dublin (UCD), Met Éireann, and Teagasc.
The Researcher will support the monitoring of the Irish Soil Moisture Observation Network (ISMON). This role will involve data analysis, the harmonization of datasets and the integration of data from various monitoring networks including CRNS, Gamma Ray and in situ soil moisture observations.

The Senior Research Fellow will play a pivotal role in the implementation. This high-level position involves coordinating the integration of various observational networks, harmonizing datasets and measurement techniques, and ensuring the successful operation of ISMON.
The fellow will be responsible for maintaining observational infrastructure and collecting metadata, harmonizing datasets and measurement techniques across different observational networks, and for developing and managing project timelines to ensure all milestones are met.
PostDoctoral Associate in Climate Physics
Location, Boulder, CO,
Deadline: 30 September 2025
The Department of Physics at CU Boulder seeks a Postdoctoral Researcher!
Key responsibility is Investigating the microphysical properties of clouds in connection to climate using satellite and ground-based remote sensing observations and a climate model.
Qualifications:
- Ph.D. in physics, atmospheric physics, or a closely related field
- Strong programming skills in Fortran, Python and/or Matlab
- Clear and concise verbal and written communication skills in English
- Knowledge of radiative transfer and satellite and ground-based remote sensing of clouds and precipitation
Member of the Scientific Steering Group for the Regional Information for Society (RIfS) Core Project
Location: N/A
Deadline: 15 September, 17:00 UTC
The Regional Information for Society (RIfS) is one of the Core Projects of the World Climate Research Program (WCRP). RIfS is a global community of experts who seek to understand, develop, and enhance the effective flow of relevant information among scientists, decision makers and society to develop policy-relevant climate research.
This is a limited call to fill one opening in RIfS’ Scientific Steering Group with term to commence at the start of 2026. RIfS is looking to reinforce the expertise of the SSG in particular areas. Applicants coming from from “Least Developed Countries”, “Landlocked Developing Countries”, and “Small Island Developing States” with expertise in modelling for seasonal-to-decadal prediction, oceans and coastal impacts, experts on climate information working in the humanitarian sector, and social-sciences relevant to RIfS’ work are particularly encouraged to respond.
Membership Working Group on Annual assessment of Weather and Climate Extremes (AWCE)
Location: N/A
Deadline: 5 August 2025
The World Climate Research Programme (WCRP) has the mandate to coordinate and facilitate international climate research to develop, share, and apply climate knowledge that contributes to societal well-being. Societal demands for comprehensive assessment of the state of weather and climate extremes and their attribution that are both global and timely make it essential for WCRP to establish a Working Group on Annual assessment of Weather and Climate Extremes (AWCE) under the Global Extremes Platform (GEP). The Working Group would consist of international experts with relevant expertise in the field and prepare yearly reports to be delivered in May of each year, with a retrospective analysis of events of the past year.
Membership of the Working Group will be selected from the community through this open call for self-nomination and will seek a suitably diverse representation.
Postdoc Position: Understanding low-cloud morphology feedback with energetic constraints
Location: Laboratoire de Météorologie Dynamique (LMD), Paris, France
Deadline: Open until filled
The French ANR MOBYDYC project aims to improve our physical understanding of low-cloudfeedback by building observable and energetically-constrained feedback mechanisms based on boundary-layer dynamics processes. To this end, it focuses on the spatial morphology of low clouds simulated by high-resolution models and observed by satellites, with an emphasis on stratocumulus. MOBYDYC is a project with two major objectives: to detect climate-change signals of low-cloud morphology changes, and to attribute them to changes in boundary-layer dynamics expected with global warming. A joint approach between analytical approaches, high-resolution simulations and observations is used.
The post-doc proposal addresses a part of the MOBYDYC project, namely the analysis of low-cloud morphological feedback constrained by energy conservation.This task can integrate different approaches and tools such as global climate models, global cloud-resolving models, large-eddy simulations, and observational data.
2 Ph.D. Projects within the TBM-CaN Research Group
Location: Simon Fraser University, Burnaby, B.C., Canada
Deadline: None specified
The Terrestrial Biosphere Modelling in CaNada (TBM-CaN) research group seeks interested Ph.D. students to apply for two Ph.D. projects, Projecting Carbon and Ecosystem Co-Benefits of Forest-Based Climate Solutions in Canada and Measuring Soil Greenhouse Gas Fluxes across Boreal and Arctic Disturbance Gradients.
The TBM-CaN research group applies an interdisciplinary approach – combining empirical ecology and field work with global modeling of the terrestrial biosphere and climate change – with the goal of improving climate change projections informing climate policy and decision-making from local to global scales. New members will join a dynamic research group with the opportunity to develop strong working relationships with academic and government scientists across Canada.
