Dear colleagues,
I am writing to advertise a postdoctoral position opportunity at the Department of Geography of the University of Cambridge. The project aims at investigating the potential of clusters of strong volcanic eruptions to cause sustained cold events under pre-Holocene climate scenarios. The successful applicant will design and run transient climate model experiments using Earth system models that include atmospheric chemistry-aerosol-climate coupling. The simulations will be performed under a range of glacial boundary conditions to determine the cooling potential of volcanic clusters and assess short- and long-term memory of regional and global climatic variability. The applicant will work under the guidance of Dr Francesco Muschitiello and be supported by a team of international scientists including Dr Peter Hopcroft (University of Birmingham), Dr Claudia Timmreck (Max-Planck Institute for Meteorology), Dr Davide Zanchettin (University of Venice) and Dr Thomas Aubry (University of Exeter). The position is funded for 24 months in the first instance with a salary range of £34,308-£42,155. Eligible candidates must have a PhD (or equivalent degree) in Climate Physics, Applied Mathematics, Earth Sciences or allied disciplines. A background in palaeoclimate modelling is desirable.
All the best,
Thomas Aubry on behalf of Francesco Muschitiello
