Postdoctoral Researcher in Climate Dynamics at University of Exeter

The University wishes to recruit a postdoctoral scientist in the general area of climate dynamics to support the work of Professor Geoffrey Vallis and Dr Hugo Lambert. This post is available immediately for at least 30 months and is part of the Met Office Newton Fund Climate Science Partnership.

The post will include numerical modelling and theoretical activities concerning the large-scale circulation of the atmosphere, its interaction with convection and radiation, and the impact on regional climate and global warming. The work will use models of the atmospheric circulation of varying levels of complexity with the aim of identifying key sources of modelling uncertainty and building simple models of robust processes that improve understanding of regional climate change. There will be opportunities to collaborate with the UK Met Office.

The successful applicant will be knowledgeable in climate dynamics and/or geophysical fluid dynamics, comfortable with numerical modelling, will be able to develop research programmes and methodologies, and will be expected to present research progress and outcomes at international conferences and write lead-author peer-reviewed publications. Applicants will possess a relevant PhD and be able to demonstrate sufficient knowledge in the discipline and of research methods and techniques to work within established research programmes. The successful applicant will also be able to work collaboratively and, as appropriate, help supervise the work of others.

For further information please contact
