Antarctic Climate Scientist: Rain & Sea-Ice Projections

BAS - British Antarctic Survey; Cambridge; Sur place; GBP 43 000 - 47 000; Plein temps

Résumé du poste

BAS - British Antarctic Survey invites applications for a Climate Scientist to join the Atmosphere, Ice, & Climate (AIC) team in Cambridge. The role focuses on Rain on Antarctic Sea Ice and Its Impacts (ROASII), combining model and observational analyses to quantify rainfall on sea ice and develop future projections.

You will collaborate with BAS colleagues, University partners, and international peers, contribute to model development for rainfall representation, and publish results while

Qualifications

• PhD in atmospheric sciences, geosciences, or related subject.
• Experience analysing and visualising climate datasets from models, observations and reanalysis.
• Strong understanding of climate/meteorology.
• Excellent numerical skills with statistics.
• Proficient in written and spoken English.
• Ability to work in a team and independently.
• Shows initiative and problem-solving abilities.

Responsabilités

• Compare rain and snowfall characteristics over Antarctic sea ice from RCM datasets with observations, identifying best datasets.
• Quantify present-day rainfall (and snowfall) over Antarctic sea ice using RCM data.
• Use the RCM and reanalysis datasets and statistical techniques to determine synoptic atmospheric processes linked to rain on sea ice events.
• Identify global climate models to derive improved projections up to 2100.
• Attend and contribute to project meetings and international science conferences.
• Lead the writing of scientific research papers.
