Postdoctoral Research Assistant Position Available, Durham, United Kingdom
Postdoctoral Research Assistant Position Available
University of Durham
Durham, United Kingdom
The University of Durham seeks a postdoctoral research scientist to address one of the major uncertainties in the modeling of land-atmosphere coupling in climate models, namely the quantification of landscape snow-cover feedbacks in climate models, using visible, infrared and microwave data on snow. Coupling mechanisms will be tested in the Hadley Centre Global Circulation Model. The post is fixed-term for 30 months duration.
As part of the National Centre for Earth Observation (NCEO) Climate Theme the successful candidate will utilize Earth Observation (EO) data
from the visible, thermal and microwave bands, as well as from active radar instruments to obtain high latitude topography and a range of snow
and frozen ground quantities. The researcher will further develop, in close collaboration with the UK Met Office Hadley Centre and UK Met Office, Reading, as well as other University collaborations within the UK, EO-constrained estimates of the changing state of the land surface and develop an interface between the Joint UK Land Environment Simulator (JULES) land-surface model and EO data. This will lead to improved estimates of coupling strength between land surface, soil moisture, snow-cover and vegetation.
Qualifications:
- A PhD or equivalent in a relevant earth system science, physical or mathematical science discipline;
- Experience analyzing large remote sensing or numerical model datasets;
- Excellent scientific computing skills (including Fortran programming and familiarity with software for handling and processing EO data);
- Ability and willingness to work as part of a team and to collaborate with other scientists both within NCEO and internationally;
- Ability to write scientific reports and papers and to communicate results in oral presentations at meetings and conferences; and
- Excellent numeracy skills.
To apply, please use the online application form, which can be found at: http://www.durham.ac.uk/jobs.
Please attach your CV and a cover letter, providing details of your matching qualifications.
