Lecturer or Associate Professor in Atmospheric Science (ENVEE1759)

Are you an experienced and ambitious researcher with an understanding of research in an operational weather and/or climate setting? Are you looking to grow your own research and wider build collaborations between the University of Leeds, the Met Office and the Met Office's other University partners? Do you have ambitions to obtain external research funding? Do you want to supervise student research to foster and encourage the next generation?

You will have a PhD (or equivalent research experience) in weather/climate science, data science, computing, or allied subjects and a proven record of research in atmospheric or climate science is essential. You will have a track record of collaboration and a willingness to engage with a wide set of researchers across the University to build new collaborations between Leeds and the Met Office. This, depending on research focus, may include researchers in the named Schools, the Priestley Centre for Climate Futures, Leeds Institute for Fluid Dynamics, water@leeds, Global Food and Environment Institute (GFEI), Leeds Institute for Data Analytics (LIDA), the National Centre of Atmospheric Science (NCAS) and the Centre for Environmental Modelling and Computation (CEMAC).

The University of Leeds is a founding member of the Met Office Academic Partnership (MOAP) and home to sizeable joint Leeds/Met Office research group. To build on this long-standing collaborative strength, it is seeking to appoint 5 enthusiastic and self-motivated scientists to lead collaboration between the Met Office and University. As the climate crisis deepens, and technologies rapidly advance, working across disciplines becomes ever more important for meteorological science, and these posts will not only grow links between the School of Earth and Environment with the Met Office, but also build new links with the School of Mathematics, School of Computing and School of Civil Engineering.
