PhD in Urban
Climatology
The University of British Columbia, Vancouver,
Canada, is seeking a graduate student at the PhD level
in urban climatology /micrometeorology. The position is
part of a collaborative research network on
`Environmental Prediction in Canadian Cities` (EPiCC)
funded by the Canadian Foundation for Climate and
Atmospheric Sciences (CFCAS). The successful PhD
candidate will receive three years of full-time support
at a yearly minimum rate of CAD 18300 with a possibility
to extend to 4 years through internal funding.
The research will involve eddy covariance measurements
and modeling of energy, water and carbon exchange
between urban environments and the atmosphere. It will
focus on temporal dynamics of fluxes with special
respect to anthropogenic activities, urban vegetation
and irrigation. Existing rural and suburban tower sites
and upcoming mobile measurements will allow addressing
urban-rural differences as well as intra-urban
variability.
The successful candidate will enter a Graduate Program
in Atmospheric Science or in Geography at the University
of British Columbia, Vancouver. Anticipated start is
September 2007 or January 2008. Domestic and
international students can expect a waiver of tuition.
Required qualifications:
an M.Sc. or a comparable degree in physical geography,
atmospheric science, environmental physics, biology or a
related field and a background in surface-atmosphere
interactions and statistical analysis. Field experience
and high-level programming skills are desired. The
candidate must be eligible to be admitted by the Faculty
of Graduate Studies. The University of British Columbia
is committed to employment equity.
The closing date for applications is March 30, 2007.
