Priority consideration will be given to Imperial College staff at risk of redundancy
Fixed term appointment for up to 2.5 years
Applications are invited for a Research Associate position within the Space and Atmospheric Physics Group, to start as soon as possible. The successful applicant will work with Professor Ralf Toumi and will also contribute to the development of a regional climate model. The post holder will be expected to support the Department?s teaching activities.
You would join an active and growing group within the Space and Atmospheric Physics group. We are developing a new regional climate model based on coupling of the atmospheric model (WRF) and the regional ocean model system (ROMS). We are interested in a number of understudied regions around the world (e.g. the Caspian, West Africa and others) with a unique and exciting set of environmental science challenges. There is also an opportunity to work closely with industry which can give further career options. It is essential that you have been awarded or submitted a PhD or equivalent level of professional qualifications and have experience in atmosphere, ocean or coastal science. It is also essential to have substantial proven experience with ROMS or other advanced ocean models.
Experience processing very large datasets in a variety of formats (e.g., GRIB, netCDF3/4 and HDF4/5) is required. Demonstrated skill/proficiency in the following areas is desirable: running complex model codes on high-performance computers, advanced knowledge of numerical modelling, skill in analyzing numerical model output and verification statistics, skill in scientific programming (e.g., Fortran and/or C) and scripting languages such as Perl and/or Python, as well as some skills in graphical display programs such as NCL, Matlab and/or IDL.
You must have an enthusiastic approach to research with strong written communication skills and the ability to write scientifically, clearly and succinctly for publication. The successful candidate should also have strong verbal communication skills to deal with a wide range of people and to interact successfully with others to learn and teach new skills. A flexible attitude towards work and the willingness to cooperate as part of a team and be open-minded and cooperative is a must have, and the ability to develop and apply new concepts, techniques and methods, have a creative approach to problem solving and the ability to work independently and show initiative is also essential.

College of Life and Environmental Sciences - Environment and
Sustainability Institute
The College wishes to recruit an Associate Research Fellow to support
the work of Dr Karen Anderson and Prof Kevin Gaston based at the
University of Exeter Cornwall Campus within the Environment and
Sustainability Institute. This Natural Environment Research Council
funded post (working on a project entitled, "Fragments, functions and
flows - the scaling of biodiversity and ecosystem services in urban
ecosystems") is available from 1st June 2012 on a fixed term contract
for 42 months. The successful applicant will have a PhD in a
quantitative discipline and proven experience in working with remote
sensing data in pure or applied contexts. Experience of working in
interdisciplinary environments, ability to work in the field and a track
record of scientific publication is desirable.
The post will include spatial analysis of a range of airborne remote
sensing datasets including LiDAR and hyperspectral data of urban areas.
A novel aspect of this work will involve analysis of full waveform LiDAR
data for assessing habitat structure within urban landscapes. The
successful applicant will work within an interdisciplinary team
comprising ecologists and social scientists and will be jointly
responsible for writing academic papers and participating in project
meetings. The successful applicant will be able to present information
on research progress and outcomes, communicate complex information,
orally, in writing and electronically and prepare proposals and
applications to external bodies. Applicants should hold a full UK
driving license.
Applicants will possess a relevant PhD and be able to demonstrate
sufficient knowledge in the discipline and of research methods and
techniques to work within established research programmes. Applicants
should have capabilities in processing and extracting information from
spatial datasets using programming languages, Geographical Information
Systems and image processing approaches. An understanding of remote
sensing applications in ecology and/or urban landscapes is desirable.
