Associate Research Fellow at College of Engineering, Mathematics and Physical Sciences

Overview

The College wishes to recruit an Associate Research Fellow to work on improving the understanding of interactions between hydrology, physical processes and land surface and vegetation feedbacks with a view to constraining predictions of future changes. The post is part of the HYDRA project funded under the NERC Changing Water Cycle programme and is available immediately for a fixed term period of three years.

HYDRA is a collaboration between Exeter Climate Systems at the University of Exeter, climateprediction.net at the University of Oxford, the UK Met Office Hadley Centre and CEH Wallingford. The successful applicant will work closely with Professor Peter Cox, Dr Hugo Lambert and Dr Ben Booth and will be 50% based at the UK Met Office.

The project will produce new sets of General Circulation Model (GCM) experiments that explore uncertainties associated with model formulation that influence hydrology. The simulations will be run under the climateprediction.net distributed computing architecture. The successful applicant will help to set-up and run some of the experiments and then analyse model data and observations to explore processes controlling changes the hydrological and carbon cycles. The fellow will have considerable latitude to pursue avenues in which they are interested.


Applicants must possess a PhD in climate science or a related discipline and have an interest in understanding large-scale changes in the climate system. Applicants will have the potential to carry out creative and independent research, and to publish in the peer-reviewed literature. Experience of working with complex numerical models, particularly Met Office Hadley Centre GCMs, would be an advantage.

The starting salary will be from £24,273 to £26,523 pa on Grade E, depending on knowledge, skills and experience.

For further information please contact Dr Hugo Lambert, e-mail: f.h.lambert@exeter.ac.uk.

To apply, please send a completed application form, list of publications and a statement of research interests to Mrs Linda McIlwraith, email l.mcilwraith@exeter.ac.uk or by post to Linda McIlwraith, College of Engineering, Mathematics and Physical Sciences, University of Exeter, Harrison Building, North Park Road, Exeter, EX4 4QF, United Kingdom, quoting the job reference N2999. Previous applicants for post N2999 need not apply.

The closing date for completed applications is February 11th 2011. Shortlisted applicants are expected to be interviewed between the 14th and 18th February 2011.
