Research Fellow: Climate Modelling for Climate Services
Environmental Change Institute, School of Geography and the Environment,
University of Oxford
Grade 8: £37,012 - £44,166 p.a.

We are seeking to appoint a Research Fellow who will drive the
implementation of our climate modelling programme and integrate it with
research on climate impacts and risks taking place within the
Environmental Change Institute. Our climate capabilities span from GCM
and regional climate modelling to impacts assessment, quantified risk
analysis and decision support. We are integrating these capabilities to
provide innovative climate services for science, policy and business.
You will join a multi-disciplinary team of scientists and take forward
our modelling strategy, as well as developing your interdependent
research programme. Accordingly, you will have a good publication record
and be encouraged to further your research portfolios, publication
outputs, and develop your academic career potential. You will also be
expected to contribute to teaching on the MSc courses.

The successful candidate will have a PhD in Applied Climate Science or a
similar related subject. You will also have expertise in programming,
operating systems and manipulation of large datasets, as well as
knowledge in the underlying science of climate change and impacts.

This fixed-term post is supported with strategic funds from the ECI for
three years. Whilst the post is advertised at grade 8, we will consider
less experienced candidates at grade 7 (£29,249 - £35,938 p.a.), with an
appropriate change in the duties, provided they still have excellent
research outputs commensurate with their career stage, and demonstrate
exceptional potential to contribute to our climate modelling and climate
services research programmes.
