Closing date: 3rd July 2025 Interviews will be held: 15th July 2025 The Department of Meteorology at the University of Reading seeks an outstanding Postdoctoral Research Scientist to investigate the most predictable components of the atmosphere and enhance their representation in sub-seasonal prediction. The project employs a novel approach to diagnosing global analysis and S2S forecast data, based on the theory of large-scale atmospheric wave activity. We aim to identify mode-like structures that dominate observed variability, with each mode characterized by an intrinsic frequency derived from its spatial structure. The research explores the connection between these properties, atmospheric predictability, and model performance in sub-seasonal forecasts. This position is funded by the AFESP programme, a £30 million, 15-year initiative by the University of Reading in partnership with ECMWF, the UK Met Office, and the National Centre for Atmospheric Science. The programme addresses long-term and high-risk research challenges in Earth System prediction, contributing to the goal of predicting the Earth System up to the sub-seasonal range ( more info ). Responsibilities include: Conducting research on atmospheric dynamics, modal properties, and model diagnosis to improve sub-seasonal prediction. Applying theory to develop numerical diagnostics for analyzing re-analysis and S2S forecast data from ECMWF and the Met Office. Performing numerical experiments with ECMWF and Met Office models, collaborating with their teams. Participating in and organizing project meetings. Reporting research findings through publications, presentations, and workshops. Collaborating with AFESP partners, including travel as needed.

Candidates wishing to apply for SWR sponsorship must ensure they meet the points requirement. More information is available on the UK Visas and Immigration Website . Position Overview We seek a talented post-doctoral scientist to develop innovative methods to represent and evaluate climate tipping points in a leading Earth system model. This research is part of the PROMOTE project (Progressing Earth System Modelling for Tipping Point Early Warning Systems) within the broader Forecasting Tipping Points research programme. The position will be based at the National Centre for Atmospheric Science, Department of Meteorology. This research focuses on the North Atlantic Subpolar Gyre and the Greenland Ice Sheet. Since tipping of these systems has not been observed in the instrumental record, and existing models rarely simulate tipping, your work will involve developing methods to simulate tipping more efficiently in the UK Earth System Model ( UKESM ). You will also evaluate the plausibility of simulated tipping behaviors and assess the meteorological impacts of tipping. Candidate Requirements PhD or equivalent research experience in mathematical, physical, or Earth System sciences, or expected shortly to receive one. Strong scientific analytical ability, creativity, and self-motivation. Experience working with weather/climate models and/or their output, or similar models and data. Good communication skills and the ability to collaborate effectively with internal and external project members.
