Two New Post-Doc Vacancies with the Project

As part of our new collaboration project with Climate Central, we are now advertising for two new post-docs to join our project in Oxford.

Computational Model Development for Extreme Weather Event Attribution

We are seeking to appoint a Postdoctoral Research Assistant with demonstrable expertise in the development of and experimentation with general circulation models and very good programming skills in C++ and Fortran. Applicants may come from a range of backgrounds including computer sciences, natural sciences, engineering and mathematics.

The particular focus of this work is to develop the current regional climate modelling distributed computing set-up to allow for quasi-real time simulation of very large ensembles of weather under different climate conditions.

The closing date for applications is 12.00 noon on Friday 11 July 2014.

Analysis and Interpretation of Large Model Ensembles for Extreme Weather Event Attribution

We are seeking to appoint a Postdoctoral Research Assistant with demonstrable expertise in the analysis of climatological data and the implementation and interpretation of climate model projections. Applicants may come from a range of backgrounds including natural sciences, engineering, statistics or applied mathematics.

The particular focus of this work is the development and implementation of methods for regular probabilistic attribution analysis of extreme events with a focus on heat waves, floods and droughts from regional climate model outputs. This will include issues of initialisation, validation, bias correction and quantification of uncertainties.

The closing date for applications is 12.00 noon on Thursday 10 July 2014.
