[Wrf-users] Research Fellow in Global Scale Atmospheric Pollution and Climate Modelling

[Chemel, Charles]

Post title: Research Fellow in Global Scale Atmospheric Pollution and Climate Modelling

SBU: Centre for Atmospheric and Instrumentation Research – Physics, Astronomy & Maths

Salary range: £25,251 - £27,578 per annum depending on skills and experience

Salary scale: UH6

FTE: This is a full time position for 37 hours per week

Duration of contract: This is a fixed term contract for a period of two years and is available immediately

We are looking for an enthusiastic and self-motivated scientist to contribute to research programmes on modelling of atmospheric pollution and climate and associated impacts of air quality on global and regional scales. Particular focus will be on the use of global scale air pollution models to simulate aerosols and ozone distributions at high resolutions by interfacing with regional models and so improve our understanding of how large scale forcing can influence atmospheric composition on continental scales.  

You must have a good first degree in a relevant subject and a PhD in atmospheric modelling. Strong experience in the use of advanced regional and global air pollution and/or climate models operating on LINUX platforms, programming languages (eg FORTRAN) and associated visualisation techniques will be essential. Experience of using different modelling approaches, interfacing regional and global models and use of large datasets in community standard formats will be important. You should also have experience of critically analysing model predictions with available measurements and relate these to underlying mechanisms and multiscale processes. You must also have excellent skills in writing and speaking English and a good track record of publishing papers in high quality journals.

Additional information: Please include your full CV (with contact details of three referees)
