**The role**:
We are pleased to announce an exciting opportunity for a postdoc Research Associate/Senior Research Associate to work on the NERC-funded project “Advancing holistic risk assessment for measures to address climate change” - developing scientific evidence to inform risk assessments around the use of solar radiation management activities as a climate intervention strategy.
This will involve running and developing climate models and rapid-response tools and emulators. All work is theoretical/computer based and no real-world deployment of SRM techniques is included.
Focus will be on understanding climate thresholds that may lead to large-scale dieback of the Amazon forest, and how these risks are affected under future climate scenarios by deployment of SRM techniques.
**What will you be doing?**:
Focus will be on exploring possible tipping points in the climate system which may cause large scale dieback of the Amazon forest. We will look at land-surface/vegetation responses and also how aerosols affect local climate patterns of change. The resulting probabilistic information can guide risk assessment of a range of climate scenarios.
You should also have:
- Demonstrable understanding of climate change and the roles of mitigation and geoengineering in future scenarios
- Experience of running climate models
- Experience of analysis of large and complex datasets (such as CMIP)
And ideally:
- Experience of developing General Circulation Models (GCMs) or complex land surface models (such as HadCM3 or JULES)
- Evidence of the ability to write and publish first-author scientific papers, or equivalent
