Job Description

Full-time: 35 hours per weekFixed-term: Until 31st December 2027 (30 months)The Opportunity:The central aim of the Paris Agreement - to limit the global average temperature increase to well below two degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels by reducing greenhouse gas (GHGs) emissions - demands robust mitigation strategies. On a national scale, effective climate action hinges on pinpointing the key drivers of atmospheric GHG changes. However, simply tracking atmospheric COxe2x82x82 levels offers an incomplete picture of the responsible emissions. Two cutting-edge methods rise to this challenge: the collocated measurement of molecular oxygen and COxe2x82x82 isotopologues, offering a powerful lens through which we can quantify the fossil fuel contribution to atmospheric COxe2x82x82. The post-holder will develop the GEOS-Chem atmospheric chemistry transport model to describe atmospheric COxe2x82x82 isotopologues and atmospheric oxygen so they can be used to improve source attribution of changes in atmospheric measurements of COxe2x82x82. This post is part of two NERC-funded projects (see for further details).This post is full-time (35 hours per week) and is fixed term until 31st December 2027.This post will appointed at Grade UE07.1 which is xc2xa340,497 / within a range of xc2xa340,497 - xc2xa348,149.Your skills and attributes for success:

• A PhD (or a PhD submitted) in a relevant quantitative scientific discipline.
• Experience in developing and running an atmospheric transport model.
• Experience in interpreting data.
• Experience with FORTRAN and Python computer languages.
• Proven ability to work independently and efficiently.
