Limited funding: The funds for this post are available for 3 years in the first instance.
Applications are invited for a 36 month post-doctoral research associate position funded through the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) and the Advanced Research + Innovation Agency (subject to contract negotiations), in the atmospheric chemistry-climate modelling research groups of Prof Alex Archibald, Prof. Chiara Giorio and Dr Alison Ming. The successful applicant will work across two projects to broadly investigate the environmental impacts of stratospheric aerosol injection (SAI) for solar radiation management (SRM). These projects include: ECLIPSE ¿ Evalutation of Climate Intervention through novel Potential StratEgies (led by Dr Shaun Fitzgerald, Director of the Centre for Climate Repair at the University of Cambridge) and Natural Materials for Stratospheric Aerosol Injection (SAIM) project (led by Prof. Hugh Hunt, Deputy Director of the Centre for Climate Repair at the University of Cambridge).
The principal research tools for these projects are the UKCA/UKESM1 model and the NAME model, experience of use of either model is highly desirable.
