Postdoctoral researcher in convective systems under climate and air pollution changes
University of Oxford
The post-holder will be based in the Climate Processes Group in the Atmospheric, Oceanic and Planetary Physics sub-department, which is one of the six sub-departments that together make up the Department of Physics. AOPP’s research can be broadly categorized into climate physics and planetary research. Cross-cutting themes of planetary circulation & composition as well as cross-cutting methodologies (theory, observations, modelling, AI/ML) intrinsically link these research areas.

Climate: Past, Present & Future (CL)
We are looking for an enthusiastic postdoctoral researcher in the dynamic Climate Processes Group within the sub-Department of Atmospheric, Oceanic and Planetary Physics of the Department of Physics at the University of Oxford. The post is available immediately for a fixed-term period of 36 months.
This position, aligned with the EU Horizon Europe project Clouds and climate transitioning to post-fossil aerosol regime (CleanCloud) with partners across Europe, will tackle our understanding convective systems under climate and air pollution changes combining global km-scale models with Earth observations.
The successful candidate will work closely with our international collaborators and be expected to develop innovative research. The results should be presented at national and international meetings as well as published in leading subject and high-impact publications.
Applicants should possess, or be close to completion of a PhD / Doctorate in in atmospheric physics or related fields. The ability and drive to work collaboratively, yet independently, as part of a team is essential.
Candidates are expected to demonstrate an excellent understanding of atmospheric physics and the drive and ability to perform novel research of international standing.
Please direct enquiries about the role to Philip Stier (philip.stier@physics.ox.ac.uk).
You will be required to upload a supporting statement, CV and details of two referees as part of your online application. Referees are asked to submit their references by the closing date. Further particulars and the application form can be found on the Oxford University recruitment webpage .
