Five Year Early Career Academic Fellowships
1 month ago
Fixed-term: The funds for this post are available for 5 years.
Computational modelling is at the core of climate science, where complex models of earth systems are key to the scientific process. Most models embed significant inherent and accidental complexity which hampers verification and maintenance, reproducibility, and performance. There is consequently a pressing need for computer science research to provide the tools and techniques that climate scientists need to deliver new high-quality, high-performance, and high-assurance models.
ICCS will improve understanding of our changing climate through the development and dissemination of models for scientific computing. ICCS hosts a team of Research Software Engineers who work directly with four international Virtual Earth Systems Research Institutes (VESRI) to address computation and research software needs of climate scientists. This Fellowship offers a unique opportunity to carry out foundational research into computational support for climate science, with access to climate science teams.
As part of the interdisciplinary ICCS team, this opening is for an outstanding research scientist with expertise in working across the interfaces between data science, computer science and climate science. As part of the University of Cambridge, ICCS has a significant education and training component, through the commitment towards sharing its scientific insights openly and broadly, and will contribute strongly to Cambridge Zero, the University's climate change initiative, that is identifying routes to the creation of a sustainable, zero-carbon future for all.
Areas of expertise that are welcomed for this fellowship include:
- Parallelisation and high-performance computing.
- Programming language design and implementation.
- Data visualisation and analysis.
- Verification, particularly for numerical computing.
- Machine learning in the context of modelling.
Fellows will be encouraged to develop their own research agenda, with guidance and mentoring by the ICCS directors, in particular Dr Dominic Orchard who leads the Computer Science vision of the institute, and with Dr Jeremy Yallop.
Role requirements:
- Normally at least three years' research experience (obtained in either academic or industrial settings).
- A strong track record of published research in one or more relevant areas.
- Evidence of potential for interdisciplinary collaborations.
- Evidence of potential to obtain additional research funding.
Experience of teaching and research supervision is desirable.
Please include contact details of three academic referees and upload a curriculum vitae, publications list, and description of your recent and current research and future research interests (maximum two pages).
The University has a responsibility to ensure that all employees are eligible to live and work in the UK.
