Heavy rainfall occurring at local scales is associated with different impacts and risks compared to extreme rainfall that occurs over a wider region. The successful applicant will use observational data to characterise the spatial scales of precipitation extremes over Australia using a variety of statistical approaches and to relate these extremes to properties of the large-scale meteorological environment. These relationships will then be used to improve statistical and physical models of extreme precipitation. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">We seek applicants from a diverse range of fields including experts in climate dynamics, meteorology, applied statistics or related fields. The project has significant scope to be shaped by the interests and skills of the applicant. The successful applicant will be expected to conduct research of the highest international quality, publish the results in world-leading journals and present them at major national and international conferences.</div></div><div class=""><div class=""><div class=""><br class="">Diversity is one of our greatest strengths at Monash.
