Job description

The University of Exeter is hiring a Postdoctoral Research Associate or Fellow (up to 3 years) to explore the potential impacts of Marine Cloud Brightening (MCB)—a form of Solar Radiation Modification (SRM)—using the state-of-the-art UKESM Earth system model.

We’re looking for a candidate with experience analysing large, complex climate model or Earth system datasets—and enthusiasm for designing and running innovative climate simulations, supported by a world-leading team.

This role is part of the MACLOUD project, led by the University of Exeter in collaboration with the Universities of Leeds, Reading, Manchester, and Oxford.
