Postdoctoral Research Associate or Fellow
Job description
Faculty of Environment, Science and Economy
This new full time post is available from 1 September 2023 on a 24 month fixed term basis.
Summary of the role
The Faculty wishes to recruit either a Postdoctoral Research Associate or Fellow to participate in the Exposing The Nature Of Model Error In Weather And Climate Models project (NMEWCM). This Leverhulme funded post is available from 1 September 2023. The successful applicant will produce and analyse ensembles of numerical models that are specifically designed to quantify parametric and structural uncertainty due to unresolved processes in weather and climate predictions. The post holder will work closely with the Met Office Atmospheric Processes and Parametrisations group, and collaborate with the wider Model Uncertainty Model Intercomparison Project (MUMIP) led by the University of Oxford and including Meteo France and the US National Center for Atmospheric Research.
NMEWCM will perform coordinated experiments to quantify model error for four different single column atmospheric models (the Integrated Forecasting System (IFS), the Unified Model (MetUM), ARPEGE-Climat and the FV3 Common Community Physics Package), evaluate the true diversity of current deterministic parametrisations, and assess the suitability and universality of widely used stochastic parametrisation schemes. The unique datasets we will produce will enable us to robustly quantify the systematic and random errors associated with model approximations using a variety of analysis techniques developed by the partners.
About you
The successful applicant will be expected to lead the development of research objectives, lead the writing of peer-reviewed publications and presentation of the work at international conferences (Grade E&F), and identify sources of research funding and contribute to the process of securing funds (Grade F only). Applicants will possess a relevant PhD (or nearing completion of Grade E) in Meteorology, Climatology or equivalent qualification/experience in a related field of study. The successful applicant will also be able to work collaboratively, supervise the work of others and act as team leader as required. Applicants are expected to have strong mathematical and computational skills.
Please ensure you read the Job Description and Person Specification for full details of this role.
The University of Exeter
We are a member of the prestigious Russell Group of research-intensive universities and in the top 150 universities in the world (Times Higher Education World University Rankings 2023 and the 2022 Academic Ranking of World Universities released by Shanghai Rankings).
Our research income in recent years means we're the fastest growing UK Research University with some of the world's most influential scientists, and we seek to answer some of the most fundamental issues facing humankind today. More than 99% of our research is of international quality and our world- leading research impact is growing faster than any other Russell Group university (2021 Research Excellence Framework). We are using the power of our education and research to create a sustainable, healthy and socially just future. Our shared purpose and vision continually moves us forward to make a difference to our people, our communities, our partners and the world around us. Read about our world leading research on Green Futures and how we are transforming education for a changing world. We are located in a beautiful part of the country and Exeter (a fast growing tech hub) is one of only a few UK cities to have been designated as a UNESCO City of Literature
