Education & Training Opportunities
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 Fellow in Active Learning for Arctic Observing Systems
Location: University of Oslo, Oslo, Norway
Application Deadline: 3 July 2026
The ACTIVATE project at the University of Oslo invites applications for a postdoctoral position focused on developing actively learning observing systems for carbon, water, and energy exchange in Arctic environments. The position centers on creating frameworks that allow environmental observing systems to adapt and learn from data and integrate field observations along with satellite data, into land-surface and boundary-layer models, drawing on the department’s unique infrastructure of eddy flux towers, drone platforms, and data assimilation frameworks. By combining Bayesian inference, probabilistic modeling, and machine learning, the project aims to make Arctic observations more efficient, intelligent, and impactful.
PhD Research Fellow in Active Learning for Arctic Observing Systems
Location: University of Oslo, Oslo, Norway
Application Deadline: 3 July 2026
The University of Oslo seeks a PhD fellow to contribute to the development of an observing system for land-atmosphere fluxes of carbon, water, and energy in arctic environments. Observations from eddy flux towers, drones carrying meteorological sensors and gas analyzers, soil sensors, and satellite imagery are fused with land-surface models using data assimilation. The goal is to develop an adaptive experimental design frame-work for the observing system to guide ongoing measurement campaigns and targeted, computationally expensive, model simulations. This experimental design process is envisioned to update iteratively as new data become available to optimally infer surface fluxes across the landscape.
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
