Research Associate in Secondary Ice Mechanisms

6 months ago


Manchester, United Kingdom The University of Manchester Full time

The recent decade has seen an unprecedented acceleration in climate change and related weather extremes. In 2022 countries were struck by extreme floods with Pakistan being the worst-hit (33 million people affected). There are major outstanding questions as to how aerosol-cloud interactions control /modify these climate extremes and extreme weather events. To make progress we require improved predictive models and knowledge of the processes controlling aerosols, clouds, and their interactions. To improve weather and climate forecasts we need improved fundamental knowledge of so-called secondary ice mechanisms. Secondary ice mechanisms occur in mixed-phase clouds and are thought to impact clouds and rainfall.

In this project you will quantify the rain-drop freezing fragmentation “secondary ice mechanism” in the University of Manchester Ice Cloud Laboratories and use your findings to understand the impact they have on clouds, atmospheric radiation, and precipitation.

You will be responsible to Prof. Paul Connolly and be required to report on your findings to a wider group including Prof. Hugh Coe.

**What you will get in return**:

- Fantastic market leading Pension scheme
- Excellent employee health and wellbeing services including an Employee Assistance Programme
- Exceptional starting annual leave entitlement, plus bank holidays
- Additional paid closure over the Christmas period
- Local and national discounts at a range of major retailers
