The Laboratoire d'Aérologie (Toulouse III University) is seeking a post-doc in the field of mesoscale atmospheric modelling. The position is open in the framework of the multi-disciplinary CRUE-SIM project. CRUE-SIM brings together atmospheric physicists, oceanographers and hydrologists and aims at modelling and studying Mediterranean flash floods and the associated particulate matter export from land to sea. CRUE-SIM intends to implement atmosphere / ocean / sea state coupling in order to take account of the various feedbacks from one medium to the other throughout the intense precipitation events that lead to flash floods and are responsible for most of the particulate matter export.

The post-doc will be in charge of the atmospheric modelling component. He/she will use the Meso-NH model, will perform detailed studies of selected past events, and will have constant interaction with the scientists and engineers developing the coupling of the different models.

Requirements:
-    PhD in atmospheric physics (preferably delivered by an  EU university, fresh PhDs from Toulouse are not eligible)
-    Good publication record
-    Experience with mesoscale atmospheric modelling (Meso-NH, WRF, COSMO, MOLOCH...)
-    Good knowledge of Fortran 90, UNIX, NCL
-    Team spirit, good  communication skills, and  ability to work autonomously

The position is full-time for a period of 18 months, with a starting date between May and September 2015. The monthly net salary is 2600 €. Applications should be sent to Evelyne Richard. Please include Curriculum Vitae and statement of research interest.
