Facility for Airborne Atmospheric Measurements (FAAM)
Head of Facility
Location: Cranfield
Employer: University of Leeds
Salary: £47,801 to £55,389 per annum (University of Leeds Grade 9)
The Facility for Airborne Atmospheric Measurements (FAAM) has been established as a joint facility of the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) and Met Office in order to provide users with access to the FAAM BAe 146 large Atmospheric Research Aircraft (ARA). FAAM (www.faam.ac.uk<http://www.faam.ac.uk>) serves the atmospheric research communities of the UK Universities, Met Office and NERC.
The ARA is a highly modified BAE-146 aircraft, equipped with a wide range of instrumentation for observing the physics and chemistry of the atmosphere. The aircraft was purchased by NERC from BAE Systems in April 2014. Operation of the aircraft is contracted out to Directflight Ltd, with BAE Systems continuing to be overall provider of aircraft services. The ARA is based at Cranfield University. NERC and Cranfield have recently strengthened their cooperation and as a result, the ARA has new hangar facilities. New laboratory and workshop facilities have recently been created alongside the hangar and work is just beginning on building a new office facility. The new FAAM offices will share the building with a new Cranfield Centre for Atmospheric Informatics and Emissions Technology, with which it is expected that close collaboration will develop.
The Head of FAAM will provide the management of this key national and international research aircraft facility. In addition to leading the operational management of the facility, the role will involve promoting the usage of the aircraft by the UK atmospheric science community, encouraging the development of new instrumentation for use on the aircraft and fostering national and international collaboration. The management role includes direct responsibility for a team of 25 scientists, engineers, technical specialists and administrators. It also crucially includes ensuring that the scientific needs of the user community are efficiently and safely translated into technical and regulatory developments of the aircraft and its instruments. The role will therefore require an ability to deal convincingly with a wide range of external stakeholders, including the science community, the aircraft operator and the engineers with responsibility for approving requests for certification.
This opportunity is open to NERC and Met Office employees and core-funded NCAS staff.
For further information and to apply, please follow this link - http://bit.ly/FAAM_Head
Informal enquiries may be made to Professor Stephen Mobbs, NCAS Director, email: stephen.mobbs@ncas.ac.uk<mailto:stephen.mobbs@ncas.ac.uk>
Closing Date: Sunday 31 January 2016. Interviews are likely to take place on Tuesday 16 February 2016 in Leeds.

Subject: [Met-jobs] PhD CASE studentship: Air quality in Beijing's
haze and urban environment at the University of Edinburgh
Message-ID: <568FD127.5070309@ed.ac.uk>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"; Format="flowed"
*PhD CASE studentship: Air quality in Beijing's haze and urban environment*
***NERC Industrial CASE studentship* at the School of GeoSciences,
University of Edinburgh, in collaboration with Cambridge Environmental
Research consultants (CERC) and the Lancaster Environment Centre at
Lancaster University.
//Supervisors: *Dr Ruth Doherty (*Edinburgh*: *ruth.doherty@ed.ac.uk)*,
Dr David Carruthers *(CERC: David.Carruthers@cerc.co.uk)*,^Dr Oliver
Wild *(Lancaster).**
In Beijing, a megacity of 21 million inhabitants, air pollution levels
are amongst the highest in the World. The formation of pollutant haze
reduces sunlight reaching the ground, hindering the formation of the
urban boundary layer that disperses pollutants and thus intensifies
human exposure to these pollutants. In addition, reduced sunlight
strongly influences atmospheric photochemistry, slowing the removal of
two other main pollutants: nitrogen dioxide and ozone. To accurately
simulate urban air quality, a comprehensive representation in models of
the interactions between haze, sunlight, heating and air pollution is
vital. The aim of this project is to further develop and use an urban
pollution dispersion and chemistry model ADMS-Urban to explore the
impacts of haze on urban air quality. The student will work with
scientists at Edinburgh, CERC and Lancaster to:
* Include extended chemistry into in the ADMS- Urban dispersion and
chemistry model for Beijing
* Implement a treatment of haze (radiation and photochemistry) effects
into ADMS-Urban
* Use this haze formulation to investigate haze and urban heat island
impacts over Beijing
The ADMS-Urban model is being used in the multi-institutional "AIRPRO"
project that involves ten UK universities funded by NERC under the
"Atmospheric Pollution & Human Health in a Developing Megacity" thematic
programme. The student will join an active team of researchers and PhD
students on the AIRPRO project and benefit from complementary training.
ADMS-Urban is a world leading urban air quality model- used for air
quality forecasting during the Beijing and London Olympics.
A detailed project description and details of how to apply can be found at:
http://e3dtp.geos.ed.ac.uk/projects.html
/Funding and Eligibility///
This project has guaranteed funding and a CASE award thus applicants
will not be in competition with applicants for other projects within the
Edinburgh E3 NERC Doctoral Training Partnership (DTP). The application
deadline is Jan 22^nd . Eligible (see below) applicants are encouraged
to contact Dr Ruth Doherty (ruth.doherty@ed.ac.uk
<mailto:ruth.doherty@ed.ac.uk>) to express interest as soon as possible.
UK nationals and those EU nationals who have spent the 3 years
immediately preceding the PhD in the UK undertaking undergraduate study
or undergraduate study plus a postgraduate Masters are eligible to
apply. Other EU candidates are eligible but the funding would cover the
fees only. Non-EU candidates are not eligible unless they have
Indefinite Leave to Remain in the UK.
