Reading, Reading, United Kingdom University of Reading Full time

We are seeking a talented postdoctoral scientist to carry out research to better understand how the atmospheric circulation responds to tipping points in the North Atlantic climate system. This research is a component of the international research projects, TipESM and OptimESM. The post will be based in the National Centre for Atmospheric Science, within the Department of Meteorology.

You will improve our understanding of how the atmosphere responds to tipping points in the North Atlantic, such as a collapse of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), and explore its downstream impacts. You will also explore how the atmosphere can influence societal or ecological tipping points in collaboration with project partners.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Carrying out research to better understand the atmospheric circulation and its response to tipping points in the North Atlantic climate system
  • Improving our understanding of how the atmosphere responds to tipping points in the North Atlantic, including a collapse of the AMOC
  • Exploring the downstream impacts of tipping points in the North Atlantic climate system
  • Collaborating with project partners to explore how the atmosphere can influence societal or ecological tipping points

We are looking for a scientist with a strong background in mathematical or physical science, and experience of analysing output from climate models or similar datasets. Good communication skills and the disposition to collaborate effectively with both internal and external project members are also essential.

The University of Reading is committed to having a diverse and inclusive workforce, supports the gender equality Athena SWAN Charter and the Race Equality Charter, and is a leading LGBT+ rights organisation. Applications for job-share, part-time and flexible working arrangements are welcomed and will be considered in line with business needs.
