Postdoctoral Research Associate/Postdoctoral Research Fellow
College of Engineering, Mathematics and Physical Sciences
Exeter Climate Systems
The College wishes to recruit a full-time Postdoctoral Research Associate/Postdoctoral Research Fellow to support the work of Dr James Screen and his research group. The post is available from 01 January 2017, or a mutually agreeable date thereafter, until 31 December 2018 and is funded by a Philip Leverhulme Prize.
The successful applicant will contribute to research into the causes and global effects of rapid Arctic climate change. Within this broad topic, there is a degree of flexibility for the incumbent to explore their own interests and to shape the research agenda. Indeed, we particularly welcome applications from individuals with clear and novel research ideas to advance understanding in this topical area of climate science.
We are seeking applicants who have skills in the analysis of climate data; in-depth understanding of physical climate change (especially in relation to the polar regions); a proven ability to successfully communicate complex scientific information in the peer-reviewed literature and/or international conferences; and ideally, experience of designing and performing climate model simulations.
Applicants will possess a relevant PhD and be able to demonstrate sufficient knowledge in the discipline and of research methods to work within established research programmes. At Postdoctoral Research Fellow level, the successful applicant will be a nationally or internationally recognised authority in climate science with significant post-doctoral experience. Evidence of lead author publications in internationally renowned journals is highly desirable for appointment at Postdoctoral Research Associate, and essential for Postdoctoral Research Fellow.
The successful candidate will be appointed at Postdoctoral Research Associate (Grade E) or Postdoctoral Research Fellow (Grade F) depending on the skills and experience the individual can bring to the role. The start date is flexible, but must be no later than 01 July 2017 and the post must finish no later than 31 December 2018. Starting salaries at the appropriate grade are:
Postdoctoral Research Associate on Grade E from GBP 28,452 - GBP 32,958 per annum
Postdoctoral Research Fellow on Grade F at GBP 33,943 per annum
Candidates should demonstrate their achievements against the relevant criteria in the accompanying person specifications, which will be used to make an appointment at an appropriate level. We also encourage applicants to provide a short summary of their future research ideas in a covering letter.
For further information please contact Dr. James Screen, e-mail j.screen@exeter.ac.uk<mailto:j.screen@exeter.ac.uk> .
To view the Job Description and Person Specification document or to apply go to <https://jobs.exeter.ac.uk/> and search for job reference P54621 (using key word box).
Applications close on 8 November 2016.

Understanding long term climate and atmospheric composition change over Antarctica
NERC-funded PhD position at Lancaster University, with co-supervision at the British Antarctic Survey, Cambridge.
Additional project partners at NCAR, Colorado and CSIC Madrid.
Starting October 2017
————
Air bubbles trapped in the ice of the Earth's cold regions provide a unique, fascinating and long term record of atmospheric composition. Ice-core records of reactive gases are a relatively recent innovation, and potentially offer constraints on aspects of the past ~10000 years where there is little consensus (or investigation) with climate models. In this project you will work with ice core hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) data and other observations, and state-of-the-art global climate models to advance our understanding of changes in oxidising nature of the atmosphere.
Your analysis will quantify the contribution of natural and anthropogenically-forced change from Greenland and Antarctica ice cores over the last ~100-10000 years, determine the contribution of different drivers of composition change for a range of future scenarios, and define novel techniques to evaluate global models and direct their improvement.
You will be primarily based in the Lancaster Environment Centre, Lancaster University, but the project team includes scientists from the British Antarctic Survey<https://www.bas.ac.uk/> (BAS) in Cambridge, the National Center for Atmospheric Research<http://www2.ucar.edu/> (NCAR) in Boulder Colorado, and the Atmospheric Chemistry and Climate group<http://ac2.iqfr.csic.es/en/the-group/58-staff/112-alfonso-saiz-lopez-2> at CSIC Madrid. You will make several visits to BAS to understand more about collecting data and analysing change in Antarctica, and this partnership will also give you the opportunity to attend a polar field skills summer school in Svalbard, Norway. There will also be an extended visit to NCAR to work with climate modellers there.
Through working with complex climate model and observation data, you will learn scientific computing skills and get experience of big data analysis. Together with the field training and experience this project will set you up well for a range of career options in academia or beyond.
This project is part of the ENVISION Doctoral Training Partnership. See their site<http://www.envision-dtp.org/portal/projects/> for more projects for next October.
