Research Associate: Software development for atmospheric and climate science
3 weeks ago
Fixed-term: The funds for this post are available for 30 months in the first instance.
We are looking for a highly motivated and technically proficient candidate with a good track record at problem solving using numerical models. The successful candidate will be engaged in software development, testing, and training, and will be involved in activities related to these areas with exact duties tailored to best match the candidates skills and expertise. You will be working as part of wide team of researchers and research software engineers, but you must have sufficient time management skills to work independently on a day-to-day basis.
Applicants must have (or be about to obtain) a PhD in a physical or computational science or at least three years of relevant research experience; desirable areas include atmospheric science, computational mathematics, computer science, and physics. Experience with the Unified Model or atmospheric modelling is highly desirable but not essential. Experience interpreting large model datasets or observational datasets using software such as Python, R, or Matlab is desirable. Expertise in stratospheric or tropospheric chemistry or aerosol modelling is desirable. Experience with porting code to graphics processing units (GPUs) is desirable. Proficiency in Fortran and experience running computer code on high performance computers is essential.
The position is available immediately. Interviews are likely to be mid June.
Appointment at the Research Associate level is dependent on the award of a PhD. Those who have submitted but not yet received their PhD will be appointed at the Research Assistant level, which will be amended to Research Associate once the award of the PhD has been confirmed.
The Department holds an Athena SWAN silver award for women in Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics, and Medicine.
The University actively supports equality, diversity and inclusion and encourages applications from all sections of society.
The University has a responsibility to ensure that all employees are eligible to live and work in the UK.
