[ES_JOBS_NET] Research Fellow in Solar Geoengineering, UCL (London, UK)

[Irvine, Peter]

Research Fellow in Solar Geoengineering

About the role

We are seeking to appoint a research fellow position in Solar Geoengineering, to be held in the Department of Earth Sciences at UCL. The Horizon Europe-funded project ‘Conditions for Responsible Research of SRM – Analysis, Co-Creation, and Ethos (Co-Create)’ aims to support the development of possible new research governance arrangements for solar geoengineering in the European Union.

The post is available for 18 months in the first instance and collaborations will span several UK and European universities and several disciplines.

The postdoctoral researcher will play a central role in the scientific and technical evaluation of solar geoengineering and proposed field tests as part of this interdisciplinary project. The postdoctoral researcher will also help organize an international workshop focused on potential field tests of solar geoengineering, bringing together researchers with plans for such field tests.


Working Pattern: Full time

Salary: £42,099–£50,585

Working Type: Hybrid (20% - 80% on site)

Closing Date: 10-Mar-2024
Interviews: Mid-March to Early April
Start date: Early April or as soon as possible thereafter
About you

The successful candidate will have a PhD in Climate Sciences, Earth Sciences or a closely related field (or thesis submitted subject to examination) and an independent research reputation in climate science, solar geoengineering or a related subject.

Experience in communicating to non-academic audiences and a knowledge of solar geoengineering are desirable.

The ability to analyse and interpret scientific literature and results is essential.

In the latest episode of Challenging Climate<https://www.challengingclimate.org/1873533/14207065-42-david-stainforth-on-climate-models-and-uncertainty>, we discuss David Stainforth's new book: Predicting Our Climate Future. We cover:
- why climate predictions are uniquely hard
- what climate models can and can't do
- why climate modeling centres are pursuing the wrong strategy
- and much more!
