Overview
To develop forest management algorithms for global forested regions, under the secondary supervision of (including a placement at) Microsoft Research Ltd, UK, and in close collaboration with world leading ecosystem experts at the University of Leeds
Program Description
The Met Office Hadley Centre is the Climate Research department within the UK Met Office. It performs state of the art climate monitoring and modelling, including modelling of the biogeochemical components of the Earth System. Extensive use is made of coupled climate modelling (e.g. with our HadGEM2 Earth System model) and off-line land surface modelling (JULES).
Under GreenCycles II, the Met Office Hadley Centre will participate in the work package to improve constraints on terrestrial ecosystem processes through targeted model evaluation. Extensive use will be made of the new observational datasets derived elsewhere in GCII.
This project will develop forest management algorithms for global forested regions, under the secondary supervision of (including a placement at) Microsoft Research Ltd, UK, and in close collaboration with world leading ecosystem experts at the University of Leeds. For the purposes of qualifying for a PHD, this ESR will be registered as a student at the University of Leeds (but note the position will be based primarily at the Met Office in Exeter).
The model development will be within the well-established JULES global ecosystem model. Available data will be synthesised and the consequences of forest management and interactions with other factors such as climate changes will be investigated.
Research Field
Environmental science - Other
Benefits
Salary* (subject to country-specific cost of living adjustment): €34,500/year plus mobility allowance (€500-€800/month depending on family circumstances); travel allowance (e.g. €750/year); career exploratory allowance (€2000); up to €600/month for participation in research and training activities.

Additional Requirements
Strict eligibility requirements apply to these positions, and relate to experience and mobility. Normally these requirements mean that the researcher must move country to take up the position, "Early-stage researchers" must be in the first four years of their research careers
