PhD Offer on Surface Turbulence in Lake Geneva

We are looking for a PhD student to work on turbulence in the surface layer of Lake Geneva (LéXPLORE platform). 

We are looking for candidates with a strong background in fluid mechanics and/or turbulence. The project will involve significant fieldwork, including the development of methods for continuous turbulence measurements. Therefore, motivation for field-based research is also essential. 

Note that the position will be shared between Eawag (Aphys group) and the University of Lausanne (LAKES group).

Postdoc in Atmospheric Physical Parametrizations for Numerical Weather Prediction - Environment and Climate Change Canada

We are seeking post-doctoral candidates to join the Atmospheric Physical Parametrizations group within RPN-A (Atmospheric Numerical Weather Prediction Research Section) at Environment and Climate Change Canada. This position is based in Dorval, QC, Canada, and involves research focused on the development and enhancement of physical parametrizations in numerical weather prediction systems.

The post-doctoral researcher will work on projects aimed at improving atmospheric forecast model performance, with an emphasis on processes such as microphysics, cloud representation, and Arctic weather phenomena.

We are particularly seeking individuals with the following qualifications:

• A strong academic and research background in atmospheric sciences.
• Advanced programming skills, preferably in Fortran or a similar computational language.

Experience with numerical forecast model development, especially in areas related to microphysics or Arctic processes is considered strong asset. A bilingual linguistic profile (English and French) is also an asset.

The expected start date is fall 2026 .

Interested candidates are invited to send their CV and a letter of interest to emilia.diaconescu@ec.gc.ca.
