Postdoctoral Research Officer in Hydroclimatology
7 months ago
Applications are invited for the role of Postdoctoral Research Officer in Hydroclimatology. The post is within the School of Ocean Sciences, on a UKRI NERC-funded research project on ‘Greenland ice marginal lake evolution as a driver of ice sheet change - how important are rising lake temperatures?’.
Duties will include leading a modelling-focused work-package that will involve simulating the thermal response of ice-marginal lakes in Greenland under climate change.
Applications will also be considered to carry out this role on a part-time or job share basis.

Overview
The School of Ocean Sciences (SOS), located in Menai Bridge on the Isle of Anglesey, is a multidisciplinary department with a focus on freshwater and marine sciences and a strong history of international research excellence and collaboration. Core research interests include Earth System Sciences, Oceanography, Marine Biology and Ecology, and Climate Change Science.
The Project
Over the past 50 years, the Arctic has warmed at more than twice the global rate and it is virtually certain that this will continue. In response to this, the Greenland Ice Sheet has lost mass, and consequently the retreat of ice margins and increasing amounts of melt have led to a substantial growth in the number and size of ice-marginal lakes. These lakes are important because they play a key role in controlling rates of ice marginal melt as well as impacting up-glacier ice dynamics. We currently have almost no data on how their thermal characteristics have changed (or not) over recent decades, and even less firm evidence to quantify how they will evolve into the future and the likely effect that will have on melt. The aim of this project is, therefore, to characterise the temporal and spatial thermal regime of Greenlandic ice-marginal lakes, and their impact on ice margin dynamics and recession.
Purpose of the Job
We are looking to recruit an independent and ambitious Postdoctoral Research Officer to work full time on a NERC-funded research project entitled: ‘Greenland ice marginal lake evolution as a driver of ice sheet change - how important are rising lake temperatures?’ The project will focus on the hitherto sparsely-studied ice-marginal lake environment and seek to quantify its role in shaping the future of the Greenland Ice Sheet.
The role of the successful applicant will be to lead a modelling-focussed work-package that will involve simulating the thermal response of ice-marginal lakes in Greenland under climate change. This will involve simulating the surface water temperature of lakes and investigate how they interact with the Greenland Ice Sheet. The researcher will be expected to play a leading role in the modelling work - which can include the use of process-based and/or deep learning models, as well as a combination of both.
