Limited funding: The funds for this post are available for 42 months in the first instance.
Applications are invited for a PDRA funded through the NERC to join the "Determination of Tropical Oxidising Capacity through model calibration" (DeTOX) project.
The DeTOX project aims to advance our understanding of atmospheric oxidation in the tropics to improve projections of future atmospheric composition in response to climate change and tropical development. The project will provide the first rigorous constraints on oxidation by bringing together observations and global atmospheric models using innovative statistical and machine-learning approaches. It aims for the first clear attribution of how uncertainty in different physical, chemical and meteorological processes influences our understanding of atmospheric oxidation, and fresh insight into how oxidation may change in future. The project is led by the University of Lancaster and draws on expertise in atmospheric modelling and data science involving partners at six UK institutions and collaborators in the US. You will be embedded in the NCAS@Cambridge group based in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Cambridge.
