Post -doctoral research associate in regional climate/ocean modelling
Department of Physics, Imperial College London
Salary range: £26,720 - £38,930 per annum (depending on experience)
Full time, fixed term: up to 3 years (initially)
Closing Date: until filled
Starting Date: flexible
You would join an active and growing group within the Space and Atmospheric Physics group. We are developing a new regional climate model based on coupling of the atmospheric model (WRF) and the ocean model (ROMS). Currently our chosen test bed region is the Caspian Sea with a unique and exciting set of environmetnal challenges and opportunities.
You must have a PhD. in atmospheric science, physical science, or engineering science. You will have experience with ROMS or other advanced ocean models. Demonstrated skill/proficiency in the following areas is desirable: running complex model codes on high-performance computers, advanced knowledge of numerical modelling, skill in analyzing numerical model output and verification statistics, skill in scientific programming (e.g., Fortran and/or C) and scripting languages such as Perl and/or Python, as well as some skills in graphical display programs such as NCL, Matlab, and/or IDL. Experience processing very large datasets in a variety of formats (e.g., GRIB, netCDF3/4 and HDF4/5) is important.
