Park, United Kingdom Imperial College London Full time

**The Imperial jobs site will be temporarily unavailable from 16.00pm Friday 23rd February to 12.00pm Wednesday 28th February as we move to a new Job site platform.**
**Applications started, not yet submitted by 16:00 23rd February will need to be started again on the new platform.**

We are seeking a Research Associate in Fire Ecology, who will facilitate the team’s work in incorporating aspects of fire ecology (including fire behaviour and adaptations in different ecosystems) into the new models, and into the JULES land surface model (a component of the UK Earth System Model). You will be part of the research group led by Professor Colin Prentice, Director of the Leverhulme Centre, at Imperial College.

You will spend around a quarter of your time at the University of Reading as a participant in the Fire-Vegetation Interactions team, led by Professor Sandy Harrison, an Associate Director of the Centre.

**Duties and responsibilities**:
You will carry out research to address the challenge of integrating data and information on fire-ecological plant traits, and fire behaviour in plant communities, into the framework of a new predictive fire model. You will help to conceptualize and implement new process representations of the relationships between fire properties and fire-related plant adaptations, and work with scientists at the University of Reading on the development of model code for the inclusion of fire-ecological components in JULES. You will be actively engaged in collaboration in the framework of the Fire-Vegetation Interactions team. You will also contribute to the training of early-career researchers in the Leverhulme Centre, and help develop a strategy to disseminate the Centre’s findings to the international community of wildfire scientists.

**Essential requirements**:

- Hold, or be near completion of, a PhD in fire ecology or a closely related discipline
- Programming and computational experience commensurate with the demands of the role
- Practical experience in handling large global data sets
- Broad knowledge of plant geography, plant functional ecology, and ecosystem processes and measurements***:

- Familiarity with the main current approaches to wildfire modelling

**Further information**:
This is a full time, fixed term position for two years. It will involve extensive collaboration with other groups in the Leverhulme Centre as well as close interactions with Professor Harrison’s research group. You will be based at Silwood Park Campus, with travel to other sites.

The pattern of work will be flexible, with monthly (three day) in-person meetings of the team at Reading, and other meetings either in-person (at Imperial, Reading or one of the other institutions belonging to the Leverhulme Centre) or online.
- The College believes that the use of animals in research is vital to improve human and animal health and welfare. Animals may only be used in research programmes which are ultimately aimed towards finding new treatments and making scientific and medical advances, and where there are no satisfactory or reasonably practical alternatives to their use. Imperial is committed to ensuring that, in cases where this research is deemed essential, all animals in the College’s care are treated with full respect, and that all staff involved with this work show due consideration at every level._ _Find out more about animal research at Imperial_._
