Post-doctoral research position on aerosol effects on convective
clouds and climate </b><br>
Atmospheric, Oceanic and Planetary Physics, Department of
Physics, University of Oxford
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We are looking for a researcher in the dynamic <a
href="http://www2.physics.ox.ac.uk/research/climate-processes">Climate
Processes Group</a> within the Department of Physics at the
University of Oxford. The post is available immediately for a
fixed-term period of up to 3½ years.<br>
<br>
This position is part of the European Research Council funded
project, Aerosol Effects on Convective Clouds and Climate
(ACCLAIM), with the objective to consistently combine global
models, remote sensing and cloud resolving models to advance our
understanding on the physical processes underlying
aerosol-convection interactions. The funding provided by the ERC
allows supporting a focused team within one research group,
fostering exchange across methodologies. <br>
<br>
The successful applicant will guide the convection
parameterisation development in the group and is expected to
develop original research strategies. The results should be
presented at national and international meetings as well as
published in high-impact publications. This post offers the
possibility to co-advise a doctoral student and potentially other
teaching opportunities.
<div><br>
Applicants should have a doctorate in atmospheric physics or a
related field and ideally a strong background in convective
processes/fluid dynamics, experience in global modelling and
potentially aerosol-cloud interactions. As the overall projects
bridges global climate models, cloud resolving modelling, remote
sensing and process studies this post would suit a candidate
with interests beyond an already established demonstrated track
record in convection.<br>
<br>
Only applications received by 12.00 midday on Monday 15 April
2013 can be considered. You will be required to upload a
supporting statement, CV and supply names and addresses of two
referees as part of your online application through the <a

of Oxford Recruitment Webpage</a>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>In addition, candidates should arrange for the letters of
reference to be sent in by the closing date.<br>
<br>
