Harmonised model based assessments of the risks that climate change poses to
human and natural systems in the UK are essential to provide information to
stakeholders. The IMPRES project (“Impacts and Risk Assessment to better
inform Resilience Planning”), funded through the NERC UK Climate Resilience
programme, aims to provide new projections and estimates of UK climate
risks, including: heat stress to people and livestock, flood risk, water
security and agriculture, biodiversity and natural capital.

 

The Research Associate will primarily be responsible for analysis of climate
model projections to produce metrics of heat stress. This work will include
updating established impacts models to make use of new high resolution UK
Climate Projections 2018 (UKCP18) data. The RA will collaborate strongly
with other IMPRES partners, particularly the Tyndall Centre for Climate
Change Research, through multi-metric synthesis. The exact details of the
work can be found in the IMPRES project proposal, which is available on
request from Dr. Oliver Andrews.  

 

The IMPRES project has strong links to ongoing projects with the UK
Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy and to the Global
Programme of Research on Climate Change Vulnerability, Impacts and
Adaptation (PROVIA) network. We expect our results to produce publications
which feed into the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Sixth
Assessment Report.

We appreciate and value difference, seeking to attract, develop and retain a
diverse mix of talentedpeople that will contribute to the overall success of
Bristol and help maintain our position as one of the world’s leading
universities.
