The National Centre for Earth Observation (NCEO)  seeks a postdoctoral fellow to be based in the Department of Meteorology at the University of Reading. The fellow will undertake research contributing towards the building of a new hydrological reanalysis system for the UK using the community land-surface HydroJULES system, exploiting heterogeneous observation types (e.g., satellite and ground-based soil moisture, river gauges, flood extent data). The research will also develop frameworks for land-atmosphere model verification, exploiting aspects of the data assimilation system. The researcher will collaborate with  colleagues within the University of Reading, NCEO, UKCEH and the UK Met Office. The post is funded via the NERC National Capability Multi-Centre Science programmes  CANARI (https://ncas.ac.uk/our-science/long-term-collaborations/canari/) and HydroJULES-NEXT(https://hydro-jules.org/).

This is a full-time, fixed term post of up to 24 months. NCEO receives long-term national capability funding from NERC. It may be possible to extend the post subject to the availability of funding, and alignment to NCEO’s future strategic scientific requirements. The postholder will be appointed either at Grade 6 or Grade 7, depending on their relevant skills and experience.

NCEO (https://www.nceo.ac.uk/) is a NERC research centre with more than 130 scientists distributed across leading UK universities and research organisations. The postholder will be based with a large group of NCEO staff in the Department of Meteorology at the University of Reading, part of the School of Computational, Mathematical and Physical Sciences. The School is home to the Data Assimilation Research Centre, involving 8 academic staff and around 25 postdoctoral researchers and PhD students researching theoretical and applied aspects of data assimilation. We strive to cultivate an open, interactive and friendly working environment.
