RISE (Research Internships in Science and Engineering) Internship Programs
The German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) is pleased to announce that for summer 2010 we will again offer three internship programs: RISE (Research Internships in Science and Engineering), RISE professional and RISE in North America. RISE has established itself as an outstanding opportunity to combine serious research with a rewarding study-abroad experience. All three programs are targeted to students from the fields of engineering, physics, chemistry, biology, earth sciences (geology) and related disciplines.RISE undergrads have the opportunity to work on cutting edge research projects at top research institutions (e. g., Max-Planck-Institutes) and universities in Germany. Students are paired with German PhD students in a unique mentoring partnership to ensure immediate integration into hands on lab work and built-in social network with an excellent opportunity to develop new technical skills. RISE participants receive a scholarship to cover living expenses. Online registration and the internship database for RISE both open on December 7th. To learn more about RISE, please visit: www.daad.de/rise or email: rise@daad.de
RISE professional is designed for recent graduates, Master's and PhD students, and alumni of the RISE program who are matched with a well-known German company, where they gain insight into the professional applications of science and engineering and develop practical skills. Internships can last from 1.5 to 6 months. Similar to RISE, this new program features a scholarship to cover living expenses. Online registration is currently available and students will receive all necessary information by the end of October, enabling them to access the internship offers submitted by German companies. To learn more about RISE professional, please visit: www.daad.de/rise-pro or email: rise-pro@daad.de
The application deadline for both programs is January 31, 2010.
Additionally, we are looking for research groups in the U. S. and Canada to host participants of RISE in North America. These German interns receive a DAAD scholarship to help cover living expenses and travel costs. Participating researchers receive invaluable assistance with their own work - they profit both professionally and personally from contact with the intern, getting a chance to deepen their knowledge of the culture, lifestyle and higher education system in Germany. PhD students are especially encouraged to participate because they, in particular, can benefit by learning how to guide and serve as a mentor to younger students. The program also offers an excellent opportunity to establish academic partnerships with universities in Germany or to intensify already existing transatlantic networks.

Postdoctoral research position in GPS radio occultation Data Assimilation and Satellite Meteorology Division Environment Canada, Dorval (Montreal), Canada.
We have opened a position at a postdoctoral level in the domain of GPS radio occultation, within the Data Assimilation and Satellite Meteorology Division.The successful candidate would participate in the research of currently undeveloped potential of GPS radio occultation data to the low troposphere and surface levels. Radio occultations have proved to be excellent sources of useful meteorological data for the upper troposphere and low stratosphere. However, the low troposphere, of key importance to operational meteorology, remains an area where the possibilities of the technology have not yet been fully exploited.
We are planning to develop a research program to assess this potential.
This will include examining:
-The information contained in reflections off the surface
-The properties of the low troposphere
-The planetary boundary layer
-The low-level turbulence
The requirements are a recent PhD (<5yr) related to meteorology, geodesy or numerical computing. Other relevant experience in these three areas is strongly valued. The core of the project providing the financing for the position consists on the extraction of remote sensing data from reflected GPS signals off certain surfaces (mostly ocean and polar ice) observed from GPS receivers onboard satellites. Some such signals are already being gathered by radio occultation satellite missions (CHAMP, GRACE, COSMIC, METOP). More are likely to come through other missions. However, an experience in other areas of signal propagation, multipath, GPS Meteorology, radar and active remote sensing is also valuable, and would allow integration with other research lines we already have.
Environment Canada is the official Canadian weather forecast service. The Data Assimilation and Satellite Meteorology Division is committed to fundamental research in support of the forecast service's activities.
