The Department of Environmental Systems Science (www.usys.ethz.ch) at ETH Zurich invites applications for the above-mentioned position.

The new professor will be responsible for developing a leading research and teaching program that focuses on high-resolution weather and climate modelling, including both disciplinary and system-oriented ultidisciplinary research. The successful candidate is expected to develop an innovative research program that makes an important contribution to advancing process understanding in the climate system and providing detailed information about climate change that is also relevant for adaptation measures. The core research activity of the new professor could be for instance in fields related to the development and application of large-eddy simulation models in the context of the larger-scale climate system, regional and global kilometer-scale weather and climate simulations, the development of physical parameterizations for high-resolution atmospheric models coupled to land, ocean and ice, and the use of high-resolution ensemble techniques.

The professorship will be part of the Institute of Atmospheric and Climate Science. ETH Zurich and other research organizations in Switzerland, including MeteoSwiss, provide a wide range of opportunity for collaboration in the areas of high-resolution weather and climate modelling. The successful candidate is expected to teach undergraduate level courses (German or English) and graduate level courses (English) in the Atmosphere and Climate study program, covering both basic and advanced topics in numerical modelling of weather and climate. ETH Zurich is an equal opportunity and family-friendly employer, values diversity, and is responsive to the needs of dual-career couples.

The Hub Argentina of My Climate Risk (WCRP) invites you to the following activity and kindly asks you to circulate within your networks:

Webinar series: Actionable Climate Knowledge

The My Climate Risk Hub Argentina of the Lighthouse Activity My Climate Risk Argentina invites you to a webinar series in which we will address four main issues that are part of the process of evolution of the agenda of climate studies. We are an interdisciplinary team of 20 students, teachers and researchers working on several projects to build relevant knowledge for society (https://sites.google.com/view/mcrhubconicet). We have met regularly during one year to develop our take on what we understand as the main concepts of Lighthouse Activity My Climate Riskon: Risk, Co-production of knowledge, Multiple Lines of Evidence and Storylines. This series of webinars is the result of this process of continuous interdisciplinary dialogue. The first of the webinars addresses one of the main challenges in producing actionable climate knowledge: how to construct knowledge that is relevant for integration in decisions about risk management in a context of climate change. Three research experiences from different disciplinary perspectives illustrate successful cases in Argentina. The second webinar focuses on the climate storyline methodology. One of our case studies shows that stories can play a key role in improving climate risk communication. In another case study it becomes evident that different social actors build different stories about the same climatic event, delimiting possible action horizons that reveal the social structures and their power relations. A third webinar highlights the sources of information and lines of evidence used for the construction of climate knowledge, and we ask ourselves if the physical science of climate is an “objective” science or if it is influenced by the context and values ​​of the researcher. And: are the sources of information that we choose important for the societal relevance of climate knowledge? Finally, in the fourth webinar, we will share two experiences of co-production of knowledge with you. These experiences aim at understanding the relationship between climate knowledge and society, focusing on extreme precipitation events and their consequent flooding of rivers and floods in rural and/or urban areas.

The 6th International Electronic Conference on Atmospheric Sciences (ECAS 2023), chaired by Prof. Dr. Anthony R. Lupo, will be held online from 15 to 30 October 2023.
