Sheffield, United Kingdom University of Sheffield Full time

Are you interested in working at a world top 100 University?

Applications are invited for a Research Associate in Statistics in the School of Mathematics and Statistics. You will be working with Dr Jill Johnson and Professor Jeremy Oakley on research funded by the NERC project "Towards Maximum Feasible Reduction in Aerosol Forcing Uncertainty" (Aerosol-MFR). This project, Aerosol-MFR, will develop innovative statistical approaches to combine observations and large climate model ensembles to determine how best to reduce this large and persistent uncertainty.

You will work to identify combinations of observations that can be used to reduce the model uncertainty. You will also work in collaboration with climate modellers and atmospheric scientists from the Institute for Climate and Atmospheric Science at the University of Leeds, who will focus on model structural deficiencies.

We are committed to exploring flexible working opportunities which benefit the individual and University.

We’re one of the best not-for-profit organisations to work for in the UK. The University’s Total Reward Package includes a competitive salary, a generous Pension Scheme and annual leave entitlement, as well as access to a range of learning and development courses to support your personal and professional development.

We build teams of people from different heritages and lifestyles from across the world, whose talent and contributions complement each other to greatest effect. We believe diversity in all its forms delivers greater impact through research, teaching and student experience.
