Building on our excellence.
Investing in our future.
Would you like to work at a University where great minds thrive?
School of Earth and Environment
Chair in Climate Modelling
University of Leeds
Yorkshire, UK
University Grade 10 Professorial
As a world leading climate modelling scientist with either regional or
global research interests, you will join the Institute for Climate and
Atmospheric Science (ICAS).
ICAS is an internationally excellent centre, conducting research into
climate and weather phenomena in the areas of Atmospheric Dynamics and
Clouds; Atmospheric Chemistry and Aerosols; and Climate Change and
Impacts. We study globally important climate processes by linking our
field measurements, laboratory analyses and models from the scale of
local weather phenomena to the global scale. Our research benefits from
a formal Academic Partnership with the UK Met Office and our
long-standing integration with, and leadership of the UK National Centre
for Atmospheric Science. We also have strong collaborations with wider
research on climate impacts within the Faculty of Environment and
beyond, such as the Centre for Climate Change Economics and Policy,
Africa College and the Ecology and Global Change group.
This is an outstanding opportunity to lead research that links with
ICAS?s established strengths in process studies, in order to address
important issues such as climate change at regional scales. You will
also have the opportunity to contribute to the integration of climate
research across the University of Leeds.
For more information about our current climate and atmospheric science
research and groups within the School visit
<www.see.leeds.ac.uk/research/icas/> or the School?s website at:
<www.see.leeds.ac.uk/>
The School of Earth and Environment is investing in a number of Chair

PhD Studentship at the Scottish Agricultural College
SAC is a Scottish organisation dedicated to innovation and the transfer
of knowledge to the land based industries. Our 900 staff provide
research, consultancy, education and training services to the rural and
environmental sector via a nation-wide network of 3 campuses and around
40 business units.
This PhD studentship will address the linked topics of climate change
mitigation and adaptation in agriculture. The student will first develop
a detailed understanding of adaptation processes, actions and economic
considerations in the agricultural sector. They will then develop a
method for assessing interactions between adaptation and mitigation
actions, in order to identify synergies and trade-offs. The student will
investigate methods for constructing adaptation cost curves, and
potentially also the combination of adaptation and mitigation cost curves.
The student will consider specific economic aspects of prioritising
action in both domains and the likely impacts of combined measures on
climate change goals, animal welfare and other environmental public
goods. Impacts of adaptation and mitigation measures at regional scales
will also be investigated. The studentship is linked to a new
multi-partner project Animal Change (<http://www.animalchange.eu/>) funded
by the European Union (FP7). The student will have considerable
opportunity to interact with project partners from 20 different countries.
The student will be registered for a PhD at the University of Edinburgh
and will be based within the Land Economy and Environment Research Group
at SAC, Kings Buildings, Edinburgh.
Funding Notes:
Applicants should have at least an upper second class UK honours degree
or equivalent qualification in economics or a related subject (e.g.
agricultural or environmental economics).
The successful candidate will be supported for 3 years, starting August
2012, subject to standard University of Edinburgh conditions. The
studentship is funded to pay the tuition fees for UK/EU students and
provides a student stipend of ?13590 per annum.
Application packs are available from our website <www.sac.ac.uk/vacancies>
or by contacting <audrey.johnstone@sac.ac.uk> quoting SAC/1024964/Moran
To have an informal discussion about this studentship, contact Prof.
Dominic Moran, <Dominic.Moran@sac.ac.uk>, Tel: (0131) 535 4128.
