About Trinity Washington University

Basic information and contact details for Trinity Washington University

Trinity Washington University, based in Washington DC, was historically a women’s college. Many of its programmes remain all-female, but the School of Education and School of Professional Studies are co-educational at both graduate and undergraduate levels.

The Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur founded Trinity Washington University in 1897. Originally, the majority of students were middle class Catholic women. However, in response to a drop in attendance during the 1960s, the institution started reaching out to working women by opening a weekend college. This brought in a large number of women from diverse backgrounds, which has formed the student demographic of today. Around 67 per cent of students are black, 21 per cent are Hispanic, 6 per cent are white and 6 per cent are international.

Trinity Washington University has five academic divisions: the School of Education, the College of Arts and Sciences, the School of Professional Studies, the School of Business and Graduate Studies and the School of Nursing and Health Professions.

There are a number of active student organisations at Trinity Washington, ranging from the running club to Ladies Fierce in Research, Science and Technology (FIRST).

Student government councils act as liaisons between the student body and university leadership. The different academic divisions and year groups each have a council, along with special interest groups.

The Trinity Tigers, the university’s athletic teams, compete in the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division III in volleyball, lacrosse, basketball, tennis and soccer. Students are free to use the campus’ Center for Women and Girls in Sport, which has a swimming pool and spa, fitness centre and running track.

institution

University of Helsinki

Finland, Helsingfors (Helsinki)


The Faculty of Science of University of Helsinki invites applications for POST-DOCTORAL RESEARCHER OR UNIVERSITY RESEARCHER in atmospheric sciences starting latest in January 2027 in a fixed-term initial contract of two years Background The post-doctoral researcher/university researcher will be working on the EU’s Destination Earth Climate Change Adaptation Digital Twin Project, Phase 3 (https://destine.ecmwf.int/), where INAR is a contributing member. The Climate DT project is setting up an operational simulation framework that enables to produce bespoke climate and impact-sector information, combining global kilometer-scale climate models (IFS-NEMO, IFS-FESOM, and ICON) in a unified operational workflow producing both multi-decadal climate projections and storyline simulations. Within Climate DT, the present research task focuses on evaluation of Climate DT simulation quality via direct use of raw Earth observations. The UH team has developed an approach, where simulation data is projected into observation-space quantities while the workflow is active, enabling both run-time reality check and rigorous posterior evaluation of the operational simulations. This novelty is implemented into the integrated workflow and the UH team has therefore access to evaluation material that is very informative about the fine-scale details of modelled versus observed km-scale processes. The post-doctoral researcher will explore into this virgin evaluation material with hands-on and contribute to creating new insights into the systematic errors of the Climate DT models and how they affect the adaptation information, developing new methods to utilize the unique material, and also maintain and further develop the observation projection workflow system within Climate DT. Tasks may also include integration of new observation types into the system, in addition to the present synoptic surface observations, radiosoundings, and AMSU-A space-based radiance data. The post-doctoral researcher will work in the dynamic meteorology research group at INAR, led by Professor Heikki Järvinen. The group is active in topics such as atmospheric convection, extra-tropical cyclones, and ensemble prediction including algorithmic parameter estimation. The group’s main modelling tool in research and teaching is OpenIFS of ECMWF. Research within the Climate DT involves participation in and traveling to meetings in Europe, such as at ECMWF, BSC, and AWI. University of Helsinki is seeking for a motivated candidate with a doctoral degree in relevant field regarding the background description of the position and with demonstrated skills in weather and climate modelling, model evaluation, global observing systems, and high-performance computing – the better your profile overlaps with these domains, the higher you rank at the evaluation step. What are we looking for The candidate is expected to be eager to pursue hands-on research using simulation data from the top-tier climate models  develop observation-based evaluation methods for exposing model biases related to local-scale physical process representations  think “out-of-the-box”, since there is no precedence for observation-projection in climate modelling  ideally bring complementary expertise and/or networks that the group may be presently missing The candidate must have excellent skills in written and spoken English, Python-language and scripting as well as Linux and HPC environments. Previous experience in model evaluation, statistical data analysis, and machine learning are seen as advantages. The position involves attending international conferences and presenting scientific or technical work in local and international meetings.  A postdoctoral researcher should have a doctoral degree in atmospheric sciences or another relevant field. A university researcher should a doctoral degree in atmospheric sciences or another relevant field, evidence of active publication in recent years and demonstration of other scholarly activity, such as evidence of independent research. The post-doctoral researcher/university researcher position starts the latest in January 2027, or, as soon as the position is filled. The position is initially for two years with a possibility of renewal. The employment contract will include a probationary period of six months.
