[ES_JOBS_NET] Post-doc position in regional modelling, University of Leeds

[Christine Wiedinmyer]

Research Fellow in Atmospheric Chemistry Modelling, Institute for Climate and Atmospheric Science, University of Leeds

Closing date 15th September 2023.

We seek to appoint a research fellow in atmospheric chemistry modelling within the Institute for Climate and Atmospheric Science at the University of Leeds, as part of the ALPACA-UK (AerosoL heterogeneous Processing as a source of oxidants in Cold winter Atmospheres: application to Alaska and UK) project. The ALPACA-UK project is the UK component of the international ALPACA (Alaskan Layered Pollution And Chemical Analysis) study<https://alpaca.community.uaf.edu/>, which involves more than 50 researchers from partner organizations across Europe and the USA. ALPACA aims to improve knowledge of sources and chemical processing of air pollution under cold, dark conditions. The successful candidate will lead regional modelling using the WRF-Chem model, focusing on improving model simulation of oxidants and secondary pollutant formation during wintertime in Fairbanks, Alaska, incorporating parameterisations based on novel laboratory experiments being undertaken by collaborators in the School of Chemistry as part of ALPACA-UK, and analysis of field measurements from the ALPACA-2022<https://alpaca.community.uaf.edu/alpaca-field-study/> field campaign in Fairbanks.

We are looking for an enthusiastic researcher who will have a PhD (or be close to completion) in atmospheric science or climate science, including experience of running and analyzing numerical models and knowledge of atmospheric aerosol or gas phase chemistry. You will also have a proven ability to tackle complex science problems using a combination of models and observations, and an enthusiasm to work closely with international collaborators.

The post is fixed term until 30 June 2025, due to external funding.
