Overview of the role

We are seeking an enthusiastic and experienced researcher to improve our understanding of land-atmosphere interactions of tropical forests. This position will improve our understanding how tropical forests and tropical deforestation impact local and regional climate with a focus on temperature and rainfall.

In this project you will use state of the art numerical climate models to assess the impacts of different land cover scenarios on local and regional climate. You will evaluate models against in-situ and remote sensed observations of climate.

You will have (or be close to obtaining) a relevant PhD and have expertise in a relevant area of atmospheric science (or a related physical science). You will be able to demonstrate commitment to publication of original results at an international level. Working within a large, vibrant and internationally recognised research team, alongside others working on related projects, the project will offer the opportunity to work in collaboration with leading scientists in the UK and across tropical forest nations.
