greater predictive ability than existing reduced order climate models.
The successful applicant will facilitate the development of a new modelling framework, in which a Reduced Order Earth System Model is combined with an AI approach for developing spatial climate projections. This position is primarily concerned with continuing development of the Reduced Order climate Model component producing latitudinal climate projections, and producing very-large ensembles of observationally constrained simulations utilising Bayesian statistical methods. The successful applicant with also work to combine the reduced order model with an AI approach to generate spatial climate projections.
The position is based in the School of Ocean and Earth Sciences, in collaboration with team members in the Schools of Mathematical Sciences and Electronic and Computer Sciences, and external partners.
The position is offered until 31/03/2028 in the first instance, with possible extension subject to successful grant capture.
