Manchester, United Kingdom The University of Manchester Full time

Job Summary:

The University of Manchester is seeking a highly skilled Research Associate in Atmospheric Sciences to join our team. As a Research Associate in Atmospheric Sciences, you will play a key role in studying the impact of land-use variability on rainfall patterns in the Amazon region.

About the Role:

This is an exciting opportunity to contribute to a research project that aims to understand the complex interactions between land-use change, climate, and rainfall patterns. You will work closely with our team to design and conduct numerical simulations, analyze data, and collaborate with project partners at the UK Met Office and in Brazil.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Conduct research to describe the processes through which land-use variability impacts rainfall from convective to regional scales
  • Quantify the net impact of deforestation on rainfall patterns and intensities from hourly to interannual timescales in the present climate
  • Evaluate the representation of these processes in operational climate models and determine how the uncertainty in climate simulations can be reduced
  • Help coordinate workshops with government bodies and stakeholders in the Amazon to ensure research outputs can inform land-use planning and climate-change adaptation policies

Requirements:

  • PhD in Atmospheric Sciences or a related field
  • Excellent research skills and experience in numerical modeling and data analysis
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills
  • Ability to work independently and as part of a team

What We Offer:

  • Fantastic market-leading pension scheme
  • Excellent employee health and wellbeing services
  • Exceptional starting annual leave entitlement
  • Additional paid closure over the Christmas period
  • Local and national discounts at a range of major retailers
