Postdoctoral Research Associate in Glaciology - Grade 7

University of Liverpool - Science and Engineering (SCE) - School of Environmental Sciences - Department of Geography and Planning

Location: Liverpool
Salary: £38,205 to £44,264 per annum
Hours: Full Time
Contract Type: Fixed-Term/Contract
Placed On: 10th September 2024
Closes: 9th October 2024
Job Ref: 084786

We are keen to appoint people not just based on their past achievements, but also on their future potential and drawing on the widest possible range of talents and backgrounds; applications from under-represented groups are encouraged. We believe that a diverse and supportive environment, bringing different perspectives to our work and allowing people to blossom, is the best platform for excellent research. Our support for staff development includes School and University-wide mentoring schemes, School and Faculty Early Career Academic Forums, and a range of training opportunities in research and leadership. The School Research Strategy Group organises regular training events and workshops on, for instance, career development for Early Career Academics, writing fellowship proposals and raising the level/impact of research outputs.

You will join a growing team of researchers in Glaciology within the department of Geography and Planning, School of Environmental Sciences, within the Faculty of Science and Engineering at the University of Liverpool. The post will be one of two funded by the NERC project “Ice-layer Permeability Control on Runoff from Ice Sheets (IPCRIS)” led by Prof Doug Mair with Co-Is Prof James Lea and Dr Isabel Nias. The aim of IPCRIS is to improve predictions of melt-water runoff from the Greenland Ice Sheet – a major contributor to global sea level rise – through quantification of near surface ice layer permeability. The IPCRIS team will develop new insight into the refreezing capacity of the ice sheet, and therefore Greenland's past, present and potential future contribution to global sea level. Novel laboratory experiments undertaken by the team will be used to develop new parameterisations of snow/firn/ice melting and refreezing processes that will be integrated into existing physically based models. For this role, we seek a postdoctoral researcher who will undertake pioneering cold-laboratory based simulations of Arctic snow/firn and ice layer response to melt and refreezing cycles. The post is available on a fixed term basis for 12 months from November/December 2024.

If you are still awaiting your PhD to be awarded you will be appointed at Grade 6, spine point 30.  Upon written confirmation that you have been awarded your PhD, your salary will be increased to Grade 7, spine point 31.
