Postdoctoral Research Assistant in satellite imager retrievals of volcanic and hydrometeor clouds

Atmospheric, Oceanic and Planetary Physics, Clarendon Laboratory, Oxford

Applications are invited for a Postdoctoral Research Assistant in satellite imager retrievals of volcanic and hydrometeor clouds.

The post-holder will join the Earth Observation Data Group in Atmospheric, Oceanic and Planetary Physics and will run and apply existing ORAC satellite retrieval code for aerosol and cloud properties. The post is expected to contribute first to the analysis of the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai eruption cloud and then to the Greenland aerosol-cloud interactions project, with emphasis on geophysical interpretation of the retrievals and publication of the results. The post will provide opportunities for first-author publications, conference travel, development of transferable Python/Fortran geophysical data-analysis skills, and exploration of modern analysis methods, includ...
