The British Antarctic Survey (BAS) is looking for a Polar Climate Scientist with a geophysical background and an interest in statistical modelling to support a UK NERC grant-funded project: 'Robust Spatial Projections of Real-World Climate Change'. This is a large consortium grant led by collaborators at the University of Exeter. The BAS post aims to understand model projections of climate change at both poles and implications for global climate.
The post is an exciting opportunity for a numerate geophysicist to work on a wide-ranging project, calculating sea ice budgets from climate models and using observations to improve model projections of 21st Century polar climate change.
To be successful in this role, you must have strong data-processing skills, a background in climate dynamics/processes and an interest in statistical modelling. Working closely with world-leading scientists at the universities of Oxford, Reading, Exeter and East Anglia, as well as the Met Office, you will need to have excellent communication skills and be able to manage your time efficiently to meet objectives and deadlines.
This 4-year post is an excellent opportunity for a geophysicist who is fascinated by climate dynamics and statistical modelling to contribute to state-of-the-art projections of polar climate change as part of a high-profile UK project.
For more information go to https://www.bas.ac.uk/jobs/vacancy/polar-climate-scientist-cambridge/ or contact Tom Bracegirdle (tjbra@bas.ac.uk) or Paul Holland (pahol@bas.ac.uk). The deadline for applications is on 17 July.
