POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCH SCIENTISTS

The closing date for applications 24 November 1995 has now expired.

The Department of Meteorology and the Centre for Global Atmospheric Modelling requires Postdoctoral Research Scientists to work on aspects of global atmospheric modelling within the framework of the Universities' Global Atmospheric Modelling Programme. UGAMP aims to improve our understanding of atmospheric processes and natural variability, using state-of-the-art General Circulation Models (GCM) and a range of idealized models, allied to diagnostic studies of observational data. Six posts are available as follows:
