Job Description:
Postdoctoral Research Associate University of Bristol - School of Geographical Sciences Location: Bristol Salary: £35,256 to £39,685 Per annum Hours: Full Time Contract Type: Contract / Temporary Placed on: 13th May 2015 Closes: 21st May 2015 Job Ref: ACAD101427 ★ View Employer Profile
Applications are invited for a Postdoctoral Research Associate position focussing on the development and coupling of representations of marine ecological diversity in an Earth system model. This position is part of the Earth system modelling group in the School of Geographical Sciences at the University of Bristol and the position is funded by an award from the European Research Council (ERC-2013-CoG-617313) to develop and test advanced representations of marine ecology and assess ecosystem sensitivity to past global change events.
Your primary responsibility will be in the technical coupling of an instance of the Darwin model to the ‘GENIE’ Earth system model (http://www.seao2.info/mycgenie.html), and carrying out an in-depth analysis of the resulting simulated biogeography, both against observations and against published analyses of the Darwin model as embedded in the MIT OGCM. You will also be centrally involved in applying the coupled cGENIE-Darwin model in exploring the possible states of plankton ecology and biogeochemical cycling associated with warm climates of the past, focusing on the Paleocene.
The Bristol Earth system modelling group is at the forefront of developing and applying global and mechanistic models to understanding past changes in climate and global carbon cycling as well as the causes and consequences of marine extinctions and evolutionary developments. The group leads the development of the GENIE Earth system model and its applications to interpreting geological observations. With close links within Geography to global climate modellers and as well as to experts in organic and inorganic as well as micropaleontological proxy experts in Earth Sciences and Chemistry, you’ll be exposed to a wide variety of methodologies and topical events in Earth history. The University of Bristol is a research intensive elite university in the vibrant and young city of Bristol in beautiful West England.
This position is available to start from 1st June 2015 or soon afterwards, for a period of 12 months.
For informal enquiries write to: Prof. Andy Ridgwell (andy@seao2.org).
