Research Fellow in Extreme Environments
(3 years, then with expectation of progression to permanent)
Northumbria University, Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom
https://work4.northumbria.ac.uk/hrvacs/eae1534
Northumbria University is investing in several multidisciplinary research
themes. Solar Physics is one of the research areas relevant to the "Extreme
Environments" multidisciplinary research theme. Hence, I wanted to bring
this opportunity to your attention.
The "Vice-Chancellor" Fellowship will be for three years in the first
instance with the expectation of progression to a permanent academic
position at the end of the Fellowship subject to satisfactory progress.
The Extreme Environments multidisciplinary research theme is a
university-wide initiative which draws together ground-breaking research in
understanding and harnessing physical and biological environments that
operate under extreme conditions, such as those found in the Earth's
surface, subsurface, oceans, atmosphere and in the solar system. Theme
expertise ranges from the geophysical exploration of Antarctic subglacial
lakes, responses of glaciers, snow cover and permafrost to climate change
through the investigation of nonlinear waves, the Sun-Earth connection,
solar physics and space weather, to the reconstruction of past extreme
climates using ocean cores, speleothems and pollen records.
We seek to appoint high calibre individuals at Research Fellow or Senior
Research Fellow level, with an excellent international reputation in
research areas relevant to the Extreme Environments multidisciplinary
research theme.
You will be based in the Department of Mathematics & Information Sciences
or the Department of Geography as appropriate to your disciplinary
strengths. You will drive and enhance the highest quality research, teaching
and entrepreneurial activities and actively encourage this amongst
colleagues. The Departments have particular strengths in solar physics,
computer science, environmental geochemistry & microbiology, mathematics,
cold and palaeoenvironments, physics and statistics.
Candidates with expertise in any of these research areas are welcome to
apply, and we will consider high quality applicants in any fields of
research relevant to the Extreme Environments theme.
