<p class="MsoNormal">We are looking for an enthusiastic and motivated researcher to join the Atmospheric and Planetary Chemistry group within the School of Chemistry at Leeds. The WAVECHASM (Wave-Induced Transport of Chemically Active Species in the Mesosphere
and Lower Thermosphere) project, funded by the NERC in the UK and the NSF in the US, will bridge the gap between high-resolution regional models and global climate models in representing transport of constituents by gravity waves. It will contribute to a much
deeper understanding of the key small-scale wave-induced constituent transport processes (advection, turbulent mixing, dynamical transport and chemical transport), their global characteristics and their impact on atmospheric chemistry.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">By making use of a recent novel theoretical approach and developing this to incorporate these transport processes into global atmospheric chemistry models, this project will significantly enhance our ability to simulate the global constituent
structure of the upper atmosphere. We will focus on the mesosphere and lower thermosphere (MLT, between 70 and 120 km), which is sensitive to upward propagating atmospheric waves from below, and solar radiation and energetic particle precipitation (i.e. space
weather) from above, and is where interplanetary dust particles ablate. This role will be based at the University of Leeds (UK) but you will be expected to visit our project partners at the University of Colorado (Boulder, USA) twice during the project, for
two weeks at a time.<span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">You will have a PhD (or have submitted your thesis before taking up the role) in meteorology, atmospheric physics, atmospheric chemistry, applied mathematics, geophysics or a closely allied discipline, together with a strong background
in computer programming, code development and using large numerical codes and/or datasets. Experience of working directly on research problems related to the earth’s mesosphere and lower thermosphere would be beneficial.<span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
