<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-GB"><br>
We are looking for up to three postdoctoral researchers in the
dynamic <a
href="https://www2.physics.ox.ac.uk/research/climate-processes"><span
style="color:blue">Climate Processes Group</span></a> within
the sub-Department of Atmospheric, Oceanic and Planetary Physics
at the University of Oxford. The posts is available immediately
for a fixed-term period of 3 years.<br>
<br>
These projects will be at the forefront of modelling based
assessments of aerosol, cloud climate interactions. One
position, part of the NERC Aerosol-Cloud Uncertainty REduction
project (A-CURE) will combine innovative perturbed physics
ensembles with comprehensive observations to reduce uncertainty
in aerosol radiative effects. Two positions are available
as part of the new European Research Council project
constRaining the EffeCts of Aerosols on Precipitation (RECAP)
ranging from idealised to realistic global scale modelling to
detailed CRM/LES modelling of aerosol and cloud processes on
smaller scales. </span></p>
<span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-GB"><br>
The successful candidates will work closely with national and
international collaborators and are expected to develop innovative
modelling approaches. You will develop original research and
analysis strategies. Results should be presented at national and
international meetings as well as published in high-impact
publications.<br>
<br>
Applicants should possess, or be very close to obtaining a
doctorate in physics or a related field and ideally a strong
background in in atmospheric modelling. Depending on the post,
additional experience in atmospheric dynamics, small scale
processes or the use of remote sensing and in-situ observations of
aerosol and cloud parameters is of benefit.<br>
<br>
Candidates are expected to demonstrate an excellent understanding
of atmospheric physics, a strong background in atmospheric
modelling and a demonstrated drive and ability to perform novel
research of international standing. The post-holders will have the
opportunity to teach.<br>
