Overview
School of Earth and Environment, Faculty of Environment. Salary: Grade 7 (£41,064 – £48,822 p.a. depending on experience). This role will be based on the university campus, with scope for hybrid arrangements and flexible working.
Responsibilities
You will work on the new NERC-funded (4SEE) project, a 4-year project coordinated by the University of Exeter and involving the National Oceanography Centre and the UK Met Office. The project focuses on investigating the mechanisms underlying weak atmospheric circulation signals in extratropical climate predictions and projections. Your tasks will include:
- Analyzing reanalysis datasets and climate model simulations to establish the representation of different processes related to atmospheric dynamics (eddy mean flow interaction, atmosphere‑ocean coupling, teleconnections).
- Identifying model errors in the representation of these processes and assessing their implications for climate predictions and future projections.
- Working collaboratively with scientists across the project.
Qualifications
You will have, or be close to obtaining, a PhD in the field of Atmospheric, Ocean or Climate Science, with extensive experience using models and observations to study weather and climate processes. You should have knowledge of atmospheric dynamics and a strong commitment to publishing scientific results at an international level.
Benefits
- 26 days holiday plus approximately 16 Bank Holidays/University closed days (including Christmas) – 42 days a year.
- Generous pension scheme and life assurance – University contributes 14.5% of salary.
- Health and wellbeing: discounted staff membership to The Edge, state‑of‑the‑art campus gym, pool, sauna, climbing wall, cycle circuit, and sports halls.
- Personal development: access to courses run by the Organisational Development & Professional Learning team.
- Access to on‑site childcare, shopping discounts and travel schemes.
