<div style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;" class="">We have an exciting opportunity in the Department of Animal
and Plant Sciences for two Research Associates in
atmosphere-biosphere-climate interactions. These positions are
part of a 4-year project (“The Net-Zero Emissions Challenge:
Quantifying unintended climate feedbacks from large-scale
deployment of land-based CO<sub class="">2 </sub>removal
strategies” ) supported by a UK Research and Innovation Future
Leaders Fellowship.<br class="">

</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;" class="">You will join the research group of Dr Maria Val Martin at
the Leverhulme Centre for Climate Change Mitigation (LC<sup class="">3</sup>M)
and work in close collaboration with colleagues at the National
Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR, Colorado, US), the
MetOffice and BEIS. We aim to investigate the extent to which
land-based CO<sub class="">2</sub> removal
(CDR) strategies can help mitigate climate change and meet targets
set in the Paris Agreement on Climate and Net Zero Strategies. In
this project, you will explore the large-scale deployment of one
or more of the following strategies: afforestation/reforestation,
wetland/peatland restoration, bioenergy crops and enhanced
weathering, using a combination of Earth System Models and earth
observations.<br class="">

</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;" class="">You should have a PhD in atmospheric, climate sciences or a
related field and experience in atmosphere-biosphere-climate
interactions research. You should demonstrate ability to design
and run model simulations with Earth System Models (eg, CESM,
UK-ESM) or land models (eg, CLM5, CTSM, JULES) on high-performance
computing systems, and analyze large earth model datasets and
observations. You should also have proficiency with one or more
programming languages (eg, Python, R, Matlab, Fortran). You should
have excellent written and oral communication skills and an
established publication record in peer-reviewed journals. Training
will be provided where necessary and the project represents an
ideal opportunity to expand your technical expertise in these
areas. You will be responsible for your own research program but
will need to work with other team members to ensure the project
objectives and milestones are met in a timely manner.<br class="">
