The Department of Meteorology (MISU) at Stockholm University invites
applications for a position as Postdoctoral Fellow in dynamic
meteorology. The position is focused on research and, to some extent,
teaching.
The successful applicant is encouraged to develop his/her own research
within the field of dynamic meteorology. Current research in dynamic
meteorology at the department spans all spatial scales of the
atmosphere:
Large scale dynamics is studied using reanalysis data results from
global climate calculations from many different climate models and
simplified circulation models.Data assimilation for weather forecast models is developed using
various tools, including simplified models and full-scale weather
forecast models.On the mesoscale, field experiment data and numerical simulations are
utilized to study, in particular, coastal meteorology and air pollution
dispersion.Boundary-layer dynamic studies are directed at the stable boundary
layer and the cloud-capped boundary layer. In both cases, numerical
models as well as field experiments are used. In many cases, the
ultimate aim is to develop or improve schemes for use in regional or
global climate models.
Particular areas of interest over the last few years have been various
aspects of arctic climate and utilization of space-borne instruments in
data assimilation. Arctic studies at the department span the whole
spatial range from the large scale dynamics down to boundary-layer and
cloud processes. Arctic boundary-layer work includes collaboration with
atmospheric chemistry, aerosol sciences, and marine biology. MISU
scientists participated in the Arctic Climate Impacts Assessment (ACIA)
and plan for participation in the International Polar Year, contributing
with an icebreaker-based field experiment to the central Arctic in
summer 2007.

Applicant must have completed a doctorate (or equivalent) by the
application deadline. Applicants who have completed their degree no more
than five years prior to the application deadline will be given
priority. Special weight will be given to scientific expertise. Some
weight will also be given to pedagogic expertise.
The application, in English, should contain a complete curriculum vitae,
a summary of the applicant's scientific and teaching merits,
administrative experience and experience in communicating science to
society, a research proposal, Ph.D. diploma, documents showing other
degrees and former positions relevant to this position, a list of the
