Postdoc: Numerical modelling of snow photochemistry (Univ East Anglia, UK)

[Roland von Glasow]

Postdoc: Numerical modelling of snow photochemistry

The aim of this position is to improve an existing 1D model of snow
photochemistry, expand and evaluate it against various sets of field
data and laboratory results. Furthermore photochemical processes
involving sea ice will be included. Based on the outcome of this, a
simplified version will be developed for inclusion into regional and
global 3D models such as WRF-Chem and UKCA. This is an exciting
opportunity for someone who is interested in the technical challenge of
scientific code development and the scientific challenge of
understanding fundamental snow and sea ice processes and the relevance
for the atmosphere.

This position is part of a 5-year research project funded by the
European Research Council (ERC) with the overriding aim to improve our
understanding of the links between the Arctic atmosphere, sea ice and snow.

The successful candidate will have a degree in natural sciences or a
related field and ideally experience with numerical modelling including
3D modelling. This is a full time 24 month post, with an intended start
date of 1 January 2015 or soonest thereafter.

This project will be conducted in the Centre for Ocean and Atmospheric
Sciences (COAS) at the School of Environmental Sciences, University of
East Anglia, Norwich, UK.

£31,342 to £37,394 per annum; Closing date: 12 noon on 07 Nov 2014.
