Research Fellow in Antarctic Weather and Climate Extremes:

Are you an ambitious researcher looking for your next challenge? Do you have a background in weather and climate science? Do you want to further your career in one of the UK's leading research intensive Universities?


You will join a team of climate scientists at the University of Leeds to work on the new NERC-funded Drivers and Impacts of Extreme Weather Events in Antarctica (ExtAnt) project.

ExtAnt is a 4-year project coordinated by the British Antarctic Survey and involving five UK universities.

You will work with Prof Amanda Maycock and Dr Andrew Ross to investigate the drivers of weather and climate extremes in Antarctica.

You will analyse observation datasets and single forcing large ensemble simulations to establish the role of different climate drivers for Antarctic extreme events.

You will investigate the role of large-scale dynamical variability in Antarctic extreme events. You will work collaboratively with scientists at the British Antarctic Survey and the other partner universities.


You will have, or be close to obtaining, a PhD in the field of Atmospheric, Ocean or Climate Science and have extensive experience of using models and observations to study weather and climate processes.

You will have knowledge of atmospheric dynamics. You will have evidence of a strong commitment to publishing scientific results at an international level.

What we offer in return

  • 26 days holiday plus approx.16 Bank Holidays/days that the University is closed by custom (including Christmas) That's 42 days a year
  • Generous pension scheme plus life assurance
