Education & Training Opportunities
Location: ESA European Centre for Satellite Applications Technologies (ECSAT), Harwell, UK
Application Deadline: 30 May 2026
The International Project Office for Coordinated Regional Downscaling Experiment (IPOC CORDEX), a core project of the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP), is hosted by European Space Agency and University of Cape Town who are now seeking an experienced Programme Manager who will be based at ESA’s UK site in Harwell, UK.
As Programme Manager you will be responsible for supporting coordination, planning, development, and implementation of the activities of CORDEX and leading on implementation of operations of the IPO as well as facilitating active CORDEX IPO liaison between the climate observations and modelling communities.
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.
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.
Location: University of Washington, Seatle, WA, USA
Application Deadline: 15 April 2026, until filled
The University of Washington (UW) Program on Climate Change (PCC) seeks applications for a Postdoctoral Scholar to develop and conduct novel climate science research that would benefit from the expertise, cross-disciplinary interactions, and collaborative environment of the PCC community. Applicant research proposals should demonstrate relevance to the areas of climate system science and/or climate solutions, broadly defined.
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)
