Institute for Atmospheric and Earth system Research (INAR) is a new multi- and interdisciplinary research unit based in physics, chemistry, meteorology and forest sciences in the University of Helsinki. INAR aims to strengthen the internationally leading, integrated multidisciplinary research environment for atmospheric and Earth system science and to feed in scientific results for the national and international environment and climate policy. It performs multiscale research from molecular to global scale and focuses on climate change, air quality, biogeochemical cycles and ecosystem processes. The scientific objective of INAR is to reduce the scientific uncertainties related to climate change at global scale by quantifying the essential feedback mechanisms between the atmospheric processes and changing functioning of biosphere and to increase knowledge on air quality – climate interactions and feedback. Research and high international impact of INAR is based on the unique, comprehensive and continuous data from SMEAR field stations. INAR leads two European ESFRI research infrastructures. There are around 20 professors and 150 researchers in different career stages associated to INAR in the University of Helsinki. INAR has national partners in Finnish Meteorological Institute, University of Eastern Finland and Tampere University of Technology. INAR is now seeking outstanding candidates for four positions of assistant/associate/full professor (see the descriptions below). The deadline for applications is 31st August 2017.

We would like to draw your attention to three new PhD openings in atmospheric physics at the University of Vienna: - (2) Open position(s) with Prof. Bernadett Weinzierl 1. Airborne measurements of the complex refractive index of atmospheric aerosol layers In April 2017, the A-LIFE aircraft field experiment (www.a-life.at) was conducted in the Eastern Mediterranean to investigate the properties of absorbing aerosol layers (mineral dust-black carbon mixtures) during their atmospheric lifetime. The overall aim of this PhD project is to determine the complex refractive index of single aerosol particles in complex aerosol mixtures. This includes the characterization and further development of a novel instrument for vertically‐resolved measurements of complex refractive index and size of single aerosol particles, the analysis of data from the A-LIFE field experiment, and the collection and analysis of new data. 2. Assessing the partitioning between mineral dust and black carbon absorption in aerosol mixtures over the Eastern Mediterranean Recently it has been shown that the climate impact of black carbon (BC) is twice as large as originally thought. Due to the rather short lifetimes of BC in the atmosphere (on the order of days to weeks, compared to decades and longer for the main greenhouse gases) as well as its strong warming potential, BC reduction and mitigation strategies are expected to provide climate benefits. However, the attribution of absorption to different aerosol types is challenging. In particular in aerosol mixtures it is still an open research question whether mineral dust absorption is frequently misclassified as BC absorption. The overall aim of this ERC-funded PhD project is to study the partitioning between mineral dust and BC absorption in aerosol mixtures which we investigated during the A-LIFE field experiment (www.a-life.at) in the Eastern Mediterranean in April 2017. This project includes the analysis of in-situ size distribution data of total aerosol and BC, the derivation of optical properties, and the assessment of mineral dust and BC contribution to the total absorption for the investigated aerosol layers. - Open position with Prof. Paul Winkler Nucleation and growth rate measurements from anthropogenic precursors in chamber and field experiments An open PhD position is currently available in the framework of a Marie Sklodowska-Curie Innovative Training Network called CLOUD-MOTION. The successful candidate will conduct experimental studies of nanoparticle formation using cutting-edge instrumentation for nanoparticle detection and sizing. This work will partly be performed at the CLOUD experiment at CERN, Switzerland. In addition, field experiments in Vienna are planned to investigate urban nucleation. The application process runs through the Vienna Doctoral School in Physics (VDS-P) and registration is possible until July 30. Attached you will find the poster for the open call and further information on the admission process can be found here. We would be very grateful if you could forward this information and the attachment to qualified students who might be interested in performing their doctoral work at the University of Vienna. Feel free to approach us in case you have any questions or comments. With many thanks in advance.

Best wishes Nina %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Dear Colleagues, We are pleased to announce that ‘arktos’ The Journal of Arctic Geosciences has agreed to publish a PAST Gateways special issue on /'Arctic environmental change beyond instrumental records' /in the first half of 2018. The special issue will bring together papers on the following themes: (1) Growth and decay of Arctic Ice Sheets, (2) Arctic sea-ice and ocean changes, and (3) Environmental change in non-glaciated Arctic settings including permafrost studies. These are intended as broad themes and if you have a paper on a related topic but are unsure as to whether it fits within the remit of the special issue please do email the guest editors to ask. The deadline for submission of papers to the special issue is November 1, 2017. We envisage that reviews will be complete by January 2018 and revised papers will be due by the end of March. This is the final special issue of the PAST Gateways network which will hold its 6th and last conference in Durham in April 2018. Please note that all papers will appear on-line and can be downloaded once they are accepted. Authors will be able to distribute the PDF of their paper freely but there will also be free access for everyone to the online version anyway. There will be free unlimited colour in both the print and on-line versions of the volume (i.e., no charges for print versions of colour figures). There will be flexibility as to the maximum word limit of individual articles and lead authors will get a free hard copy of the special issue. We invite all members of the PAST Gateways network to submit a paper to the special issue. Authors should follow the hyperlink ‘Submit Online’ on the journal’s webpage (http://www.springer.com/earth+sciences+and+geography/journal/41063?detailsPage=press) and upload their manuscript files following the ‘Instructions for Authors.’ In the journal’s electronic submission system, they should select the option ‘Special Issue – Past Gateways’ in the drop-down menu. If you are intending to submit a paper to the special issue please can you email me (colm.ocofaigh at durham.ac.uk ) before the end of July with the ‘provisional’ title.

Please see below for a workshop on climate econometrics, announced recently by ECRA, the European Climate Research Alliance. Best wishes Nina Dear ECRA fellows, For your interest please note the conference announcement below. ---- Dear colleague, We would like to advertise our forthcoming conference on *Climate Econometrics at Oxford University from 4-5th September 2017*. Econometrics is a branch of economics that has traditionally applied statistical methods to explore empirical relations in economic data. Climate econometrics has emerged as a field tackling climate problems using econometric methods: from analyzing climate observations and model output, to empirically estimating the impacts of climate variables onto socio-economic outcomes (and visa-versa). The conveners welcome members of the wider scientific community to broaden the scope of Climate econometrics and as such welcome abstracts for delegates wishing to present posters - these can be on topics in any areas of climate using a variety of modelling and statistical methods (it doesn't have to be econometrics). There is no registration fee for the meeting, and further details can be found on our website: http://www.climateeconometrics.org/conference2017/ If you have any questions please email Luke Jackson_[luke.jackson at economics.ox.ac.uk]._ Otherwise send abstracts to Felix Pretis _[felix.pretis at nuffield.ox.ac.uk]._ Regards, Luke Jackson and Felix Pretis Programme for Economic Modelling (EMoD) Nuffield College 1 New Road OX1 1NF ---- Kind regards, -- Dr. Tina Swierczynski Executive Secretary European Climate Research Alliance Rue du Trône 98 1050 Brussels Belgium Phone: +32 2 5000 983 Fax: +32 2 5000 980 Email:tina.swierczynski at ecra-climate.eu http://www.ecra-climate.eu Twitter:@ECRA_Climate http://www.helmholtz.de http://www.awi.de
