Hello,
We have an exciting PostDoc opportunity as part of a project, called ExtAnt, which investigates the Drivers and Impacts of Extreme Events in Antarctica. This recently funded project is a collaboration between BAS, the Universities of St Andrews, Leeds, Reading, Northumbria, and Birmingham.
For this post we are looking for someone with a PhD in atmospheric sciences (or equivalent experience), and experience analysing and visualising climate model and/or observational datasets.
Your role will be to build a new database of daily-to-seasonal extreme events for a range of variables across Antarctica to quantify the roles of drivers such as cyclones and atmospheric rivers. You will be expected to use existing water tracer enabled climate model (MetUM) simulations to determine the moisture sources for extreme precipitation events over Antarctica. You will need good knowledge of atmospheric circulation patterns that determine weather conditions in the Southern Hemisphere/Antarctica, and should be familiar with statistical methods that facilitate recognition of weather patterns and extremes.
More information about the job, about working at the British Antarctic Survey and on how to apply can be found here:

The deadline for applications is January 31st.
Best wishes,
Amélie
