UEA is advertising for an ATR lecturer in Physics, to help support the new
Physics degree at UEA. We are looking for someone with overlapping
research interests with existing faculty at UEA, which of course covers
meteorology and oceanography.
More details below, and at <

Lecturer in Physics
REF: ATR1297
Faculty of Science
*£40,082 to £46,414 per annum*
In 2017 the Science Faculty will launch a Physics degree with a range of
subjects that will make the course unique in the region and in the UK. The
combination of strengths in chemical, environmental and computational
physics at UEA will introduce a multidisciplinary modern degree that will
meet the needs of graduates in today's society.
This is an exciting time to be joining UEA in this new faculty appointment.
While initially focussed on assisting with the development of the new
course, the successful candidate will aspire to develop an independent
research group. Current research interests in physics across the Faculty
range from theoretical physics to environmental physics, including
meteorology and oceanography alongside ultrafast spectroscopy, optics and
computational physics. Candidates from any of these areas or others are
invited to apply. Candidates should have a PhD (or equivalent
qualification) in Physics or other relevant discipline, evidence of
successful research activity in the field of Physics, an active interest
and potential to grow and attain a senior position, and will be able to
meet all the essential criteria set out in the Person Specification.
The post is available on a full time, indefinite basis from 1 July 2016.
We particularly welcome applications from suitably qualified female
academics as they are currently under-represented across the Faculty.
*Closing date: 12.00 noon on Friday 18 March 2016.*

Three PhD Opportunities on the Role of Weather and Climate in Integrated
Energy Systems
----
Three PhD projects are offered at University College Dublin, commencing in
September 2016. These focus on the role of weather and climate on
integrated energy systems in the context of a major new Science Foundation
Ireland and Industry funded multi-disciplinary Energy System Integration
Partnership Programme (ESIPP:
http://energyinstitute.ucd.ie/wp/research/esipp/ ).
1) High-Resolution atmospheric modelling for energy supply and demand.
The successful PhD candidate will investigate the use of different NWP
model types (deterministic/ensemble) and model resolutions in forecasting
energy generation from wind and solar PV plants. This will involve
implementing multiple high-resolution NWP models (WRF, COSMO, HARMONIE),
driven by different global ensemble data (NCEP, ECMWF). Different
parameterisation schemes will be tested under a range of conditions to
decide on optimal settings. The NWP model data will be used to develop a
statistical model (working with another PhD student) to identify the best
variables to use for energy systems forecasting, while reducing systematic
errors and quantifying forecast uncertainty. The resulting model will be
used to investigate different case studies in integrated energy systems.
Project Supervisor: Dr Conor Sweeney, UCD School of Mathematical Sciences (
conor.sweeney@ucd.ie)
2) Combined physical/statistical models to reduce uncertainty in Energy
Systems forecasting.
The successful PhD candidate will develop a model that systematically
integrates NWP data with spatially resolved energy data to simultaneously
forecast renewable energy supply and weather-driven demand. Statistical
post-processing techniques will be applied and further developed to remove
systematic errors from the model forecasts. The resulting model will
predict the supply and demand response of the energy system to atmospheric
changes such as heat waves, cold spells, blocking highs and storms, with a
prediction period from hours to days ahead. The model will additionally
warn of weather-related impacts for energy systems infrastructure such as
transmission lines and wastewater pumping stations.
Project Supervisor: Dr Conor Sweeney, UCD School of Mathematical Sciences (
conor.sweeney@ucd.ie)
3) Present and future regional scale climate influences on renewable energy
resources.
The successful candidate will investigate how the present-day distribution
and characteristics of renewable energy resources (wind and solar energy)
may be modified by projected climate change on multi-decadal timescales.
Climate model outputs (downscaled as appropriate) will be investigated to
understand how the characteristics of renewable energy resources are likely
to change spatially and temporally on regional to global scales. The
project will also investigate the extent to which knowledge of pre-cursor
conditions on seasonal timescales, inferred from satellite-based
observations of the cryosphere, oceans and atmosphere may influence the
persistence of selected large scale atmospheric teleconnections during the
boreal winter.
Project Supervisor: Prof. Frank McDermott, UCD School of Earth Sciences (
frank.mcdermott@ucd.ie)
All three PhDs are funded for four years, with a tax-free student stipend
of €18,000 per annum. Additionally, standard tuition fees, project related
materials and travel will be provided, as agreed with PhD supervisor. To
apply, please e-mail your CV (max 2 pages), including contactable referees,
a copy of your degree transcript, and a covering letter of interest to the
relevant supervisor by 30th April 2016.
