NSF NCAR ACOM is looking for a Level II or III Ladder Track Scientist to lead or become the lead of the Whole Atmosphere Community Climate Model (WACCM) and to work on questions related to modeling of the dynamics, physics, and chemical transport in the “whole atmosphere”. Specifically we are seeking someone with expertise in dynamics, thermodynamics, and transport processes, and their interactions, from the troposphere to the lower thermosphere. The position is within the NSF NCAR Atmospheric Chemistry Observations and Modeling (ACOM) Laboratory but the candidate would work closely with teams in the Climate & Global Dynamics (CGD) Laboratory and the High Altitude Observatory (HAO). The position is open until 12 February 2024.

The World Climate Research Programme and Future Earth have convened a statement from scientists around the world in response to comments regarding fossil fuel phaseout pathways. This statement has been covered in the New York Times. 

Read the full statement. 

If you are a scientist, it’s open for signature at the WCRP website.

The Call for Contributions is open for the 2024 Sustainability Research and Innovation Congress, organized in collaboration with Sustainability Science Days (SRI/SSD2024). The Congress will be held in Helsinki and Espoo, Finland. The call for contributions also invites proposals for the Satellite Event in Africa.

Submissions are welcome from diverse groups of people working to accelerate sustainability transformations, including those from the research sector, government, business, and civil society.

Explore the SRI/SSD2024 Themes and Contribution Types and review the submission instructions to ensure that your proposal aligns with the focus of the Congress.

The deadline to submit is 30 November.

RIfS is a new core project of the World Climate Research Program (WCRP), which has been advancing international collaboration in climate science for 40+ years. RIfS will work to narrow the gap between scientific advances and users of climate information. There is a lot of important work to be done building consensus on how to utilize physical climate data for decision-making, improving data access and equity, and so much more.  

We’re looking for entrepreneurial generalists to join a small team with big ambitions. You will be integral in setting up RIfS for success, as part of a small initial team with our director. You should be familiar with climate science and the institutions around it, international non-profits, and/or related domains. 
This role is for as a Program Manager, responsible for operations, logistics, and interfacing with internal and external partners. This role does not require expertise in climate science, but some background is preferred. We hope to find someone with experience in climate and/or environmental non-profits who has worked internationally beyond Europe and North America. 

As a small office, we all need to chip in to help with administrative tasks on occasion. We value collaboration, empathy, inclusivity, and being communicative and proactive. We will favor candidates who can demonstrate cultural competency to work with diverse populations internationally.

The Earth System Modelling and Observations International Project Office (ESMO IPO) based at the German Climate Computing Centre (DKRZ) (Germany) is hiring a Scientific Officer and a Science Communication & Engagement Officer. This is an exciting opportunity to join the ESMO IPO team, working in a dynamic and international environment supporting the brand-new and ambitious WCRP ESMO core project, enabling advances and progress in the exciting field of climate science! Deadline for applications is 18 December 2023.

28-29 May 2024, two half-day virtual sessions (virtual meeting)

Background: The European Space Agency’s Climate Change Initiative (CCI) aims to realise the full potential of the long-term Earth Observation archives collected by ESA and Third-Party missions. Since 2010, the Ozone_cci team (https://climate.esa.int/en/projects/ozone/about) has been developing, maturing, generating and sustaining multiple complementary multi-decadal satellite ozone Climate Data Records (CDRs) tailored for climate monitoring, climate research and climate modelling applications. The CCI portfolio consists of total and tropospheric ozone column data products as well as vertically resolved ozone products by nadir and limb-viewing sensors.

Objectives: The main objectives of this workshop are (a) to bring together scientists involved in the generation of ozone CDRs, as well as (potential) users of ozone CDRs, and the broader ozone and climate communities, (b) to present the state of the art in ozone CDR production, (c) to discuss results from major CDR users (e.g., stratospheric and tropospheric ozone assessments, UT/LS studies, evaluation of climate modelling, data assimilation and reanalysis), (d) to collect and update user requirements for CDRs, and (e) to discuss remaining challenges for the generation of ozone CDRs.

Organising team: M. Dameris, D. Hubert, M. van Weele, N. Kalb, C. Retscher Further information can be found at https://events.spacepole.be/e/Ozone_cci_2nd_User_WS

A workshop report from the first cci Workshop was published in SPARC newsletter No. 57 (July 2021)
