BANGOR UNIVERSITY

SCHOOL OF OCEAN SCIENCES

Postdoctoral Research Officer in Cryospheric Climate Impacts

(Ref: BU03700)

Salary: £37,099 - £44,263 p.a. (Grade 7)

Applications are invited for a fixed-term, full-time Postdoctoral Research Officer in Cryospheric Climate Impacts in the School of Ocean Sciences, on a NFRF-funded "Arctic Routes" project focusing on Climate changed transportation in the Arctic.

Duties will include leading a modelling-focused work package aimed at stimulating the thermal response of lake ice to climate change, addressing parameters such as ice cover duration, thickness, and quality across the Northern Hemisphere. This work will involve the development and application of advanced process-based models, machine learning techniques, or an integrated approach combining both, fostering innovation and pushing the boundaries of current Arctic research. The postholder will also actively collaborate with interdisciplinary teams working on remote sensing and field-based studies to construct a comprehensive understanding of cryospheric evolution under warming scenarios.

Candidates should be educated to PhD level in Earth Sciences, Hydrology, Data Science, Limnology, Glaciology or related field, or be very near completion. Applicants will have experience working with large geospatial datasets from multiple sources and experience with programming languages such as Matlab/R/Python.

The successful candidate will be expected to commence as soon as possible, and the post is available for a duration of 24 months.

This role will be located on campus at Menai Bridge. Through our Dynamic Working framework, there will also be the option to spend some time working remotely (although remaining in the UK) to support work life balance, which will be discussed further with candidates at interview.

Applications will also be considered to carry out this role on a part-time or job share basis.

Applications will only be accepted via our on-line recruitment website, jobs.bangor.ac.uk. However, in cases of access issues due to disability, paper application forms are available by telephoning 01248 383865.

Interested applicants are welcome to contact Dr Iestyn Woolway, Reader in the School of Ocean Sciences, e-mail iestyn.woolway@bangor.ac.uk

Closing date for applications: 6th January 2025
