Postdoctoral position in forecasting of complex nonlinear systems
at the School of Mathematics and Statistics,
The University of Western Australia, Perth, Australia.

A postdoctoral position of up to two years will be advertised  
shortly. The position is funded by an Australia Research Council  
grant held by Assoc. Prof. Kevin Judd (University of Western  
Australia) and Prof. Leonard A. Smith (London School of Economics).  
The project concerns aspects of modelling and forecasting complex  
nonlinear systems, in particular the effects of nonlinearity and  
model error in weather and climate forecasting. A background in  
nonlinear dynamical systems theory and a willingness to learn and  
develop new mathematical and statistical techniques is desirable. The  
project will involve working with operational weather forecasting  
models and climate models, therefore the ability to design  
experiments, organise large amounts of data, and use new programming  
and data analysis tools essential.

Salary will be in the range AU$57724-AU$61963 p.a. for candidates  
with an appropriate PhD. For further information contact
