The Opportunity

An exciting opportunity is available for a Research Fellow to join the Australian Research Council (ARC) Special Research Initiative (SRI) Securing Antarctica's Environmental Future (SAEF) in the School of Earth, Atmosphere & Environment at Monash University. SAEF is a leading international research program which will deliver interdisciplinary research to forecast environmental change across the Antarctic region. The School of Earth, Atmosphere & Environment is a world-class centre for research in the diverse areas of Atmosphere, Climate, Geography, Environment and Solid Earth. The Research Fellow will work closely with Prof Steven Siems (Monash University) and colleagues at the Australian Antarctic Division, the Bureau of Meteorology and the University of Melbourne.

Monash University is an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer with a strong institutional commitment to excellence and diversity, and the Research Fellow will be well integrated into a highly supportive and dynamic research environment that has a strong history of research excellence and collaboration with researchers locally and internationally.

As the Research Fellow, you will become an integral part of SAEF's Theme 1: C limate Processes and Change. You will have the opportunity to carry out meteorological fieldwork and the analysis of field observations of precipitation processes over Antarctica and the Southern Ocean, including dual-polarized radar retrievals, supported by the analysis of satellite observations and numerical simulations.

About you

As the successful candidate, you will have:

A PhD in atmospheric science or a closely related field or equivalent accreditation and standing, with evidence of an emerging track record of refereed research publications

A strong understanding of cloud dynamics and microphysics including the development of precipitation

Demonstrated experience undertaking meteorological fieldwork

Demonstrated experience in analysing large datasets, with high-level expertise in scientific programming and visualization (e.g. Python, Fortran) and High-Performance Computing

Demonstrated skills in the analysis of remote sensing observations will be  highly regarded

Demonstrated skills in numerical simulations will be highly regarded

This is an ideal role for a researcher who wishes to apply their research skills in an area where research findings can be readily and relatively quickly translated into meaningful outcomes, in addition to traditional academic outputs.

This role is a full-time position; however, flexible working arrangements may be negotiated.

Your application must address the selection criteria. Please refer to "How to apply for Monash Jobs".
