Overview
Postdoctoral Research Associate/Fellow in Aerosol-Cloud Interactions
Atmospheric Sciences (AS)
Climate: Past, Present & Future (CL)
Nonlinear Processes in Geosciences (NP)
Responsibilities
The postholder will perform numerical atmospheric model simulations using the UK Met Office Earth System Model (UKESM1) and analyse these to identify processes controlling the representation of cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) sources in pristine environments. The postholder will apply novel statistical tools to data from UKESM1, ERA5 reanalysis and observations to uncover model structural uncertainty due to unresolved processes associated with aerosol - cloud interactions.
Flexibility and collaborations
Depending on the skills and interests of the applicant, there is flexibility to adjust the focus and the balance of the observation - modelling research pathway pursued. There is also the possibility depending on the skills of the applicant to analyse additional climate models, such as EC-EARTH and ICON-HAM, through collaborations as part of the Horizon CleanCloud project.
