We seek to appoint two Senior Postdoctoral Research Associates at the Lancaster Environment Centre to quantify the current and future atmospheric budgets of hydrogen in contribution to the Horizon Europe-funded HYDRA project. The HYDRA project addresses the
atmospheric, climate and environmental impacts of a future hydrogen economy and is a collaboration between partners in Italy, Spain, Greece, Belgium and the UK. The project will generate new scenarios for hydrogen production, consumption and leakage, and these
positions will contribute by advancing our understanding of the impacts on the atmosphere through the development and application of global atmospheric models.</div>

Applicants should have (or be about to complete) a Ph.D. in atmospheric science, meteorology or a related quantitative discipline. You should have experience in developing and running numerical models, and in data analysis. Experience with global atmospheric
models, atmospheric chemistry schemes, and model evaluation against observational datasets would be an advantage. You should be able to demonstrate independence, good communication skills and a willingness to work effectively in a multidisciplinary international
environment. You will have the opportunity to present results at national and international meetings and to write up results for publication in leading scientific journals.</div>
