<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-GB" class="">A post-doctoral research associate is sought within the Department of Meteorology at the University of Reading to develop global storylines of climate risk relevant to multi-sector vulnerabilities
(food security, finance, international development, manufacturing, and coastal infrastructure), within the H2020 RECEIPT project, under the supervision of Professor Ted Shepherd. The storylines will reflect different global warming scenarios as well as different
patterns of regional climate response, using common drivers to identify correlated risks following the approach of Zappa & Shepherd (2017). This is an exciting opportunity to work on climate dynamics within an inter-disciplinary context, at one of the leading
centres worldwide for research in weather and climate.<o:p class=""></o:p></span></p>
