Postdoctoral researcher in high-resolution modelling of aerosol-cloud interactions to assess Marine Cloud Brightening
We are looking for a post-doctoral researcher to join our dynamic Climate Processes Group within the sub-Department of Atmospheric, Oceanic and Planetary Physics (AOPP) to work on high-resolution modelling of aerosol-cloud interactions to assess Marine Cloud Brightening (MCB).
This position is part of the UKRI NERC project MACLOUD (Marine CLOUD Brightening) with partners across the UK to utilise state-of-the art multi-scale modelling to assess the potential of MCB strategies and associated risks. Successful applicants will work closely with our national and international collaborators and are expected to develop innovative research approaches. The role also includes the possibility to co-advice doctoral students. Results should be presented at national and international meetings as well as published in leading subject and high-impact publications.
Applicants should hold a PhD/DPhil, (or close to completion) in atmospheric physics or related fields.
Experience in atmospheric physics and track record in atmospheric modelling and the constraint of atmospheric models with observations are essential as well as strong computing skills, including the knowledge of UNIX/Linux, Fortran, Python, or other high-level languages.
The post is full time and fixed term for 3 years.
The closing date for applications is noon UK time on Friday, 20 June 2025. Please apply through the university application webpages.
Please contact Philip Stier for any questions.
