The role
We are seeking to appoint a new Senior Lecturer with a particular interest in aerosol climate interactions.

The climate crisis means that the targets set by COP21 will soon be exceeded leading to increasingly damaging climate impacts. While stringent mitigation methods are obviously essential, greenhouse gas concentrations are projected to continue to increase under all future scenarios increasingly exposing the Earth to tipping points. It is therefore important that humanity examines additional tools such as Solar Radiation Modification (SRM) that might be needed in the future fight against climate change. In 2023 the United Nations Environment Panel called for establishing "a robust, equitable and rigorous trans-disciplinary scientific review process to reduce uncertainties associated with SRM and better inform decision-making". It is anticipated that the successful candidate will actively research the rapidly developing SRM arena.

The University of Exeter performs cutting-edge world-leading research into solar radiation modification (SRM) via work performed by Prof Jim Haywood's and Dr Dan Partridge's groups: ). The candidate will work alongside Prof Jim Haywood and Dr Dan Partridge and will develop research ideas in SRM leading to successful grant applications. The candidate will also have the opportunity to supervise/co- supervise PhD students, Masters student projects, and will support effective two-way collaboration between the Met office and the University of Exeter.
