    OBR Scientist Job in Exeter, England

    OBR Scientist Job Description

    Background information

    The Observation Based Research (OBR) group carries out ground based and airborne meteorological research to improve model parameterisations and satellite applications, as well as provide some commercial and defence work. The research aircraft (BAe 146-301) is based at Cranfield and run by the Facility for Airborne Atmospheric Measurements. FAAM is a joint Met Office and NERC facility and provides a core of instrumentation on the aircraft to which the Met Office and NERC add their own specialist instruments for flying campaigns. OBR also have a Cessna 421 based at Bournemouth for monitoring civil contingency events such as measurements of volcanic ash plumes.

    The aircraft instruments are research grade and require specialists to obtain the best quality information out of them. The ideal candidate for this position would have a strong theoretical and instrumentation background and a keen interest in conducting atmospheric radiation research. OBR has developed a fourier transform thermal IR interferometer and a suite of microwave radiometers for understanding the distribution of hydrometeors, temperature and trace gases in the atmosphere. The successful candidate, depending on their area of expertise, would use data from these instruments to develop our understanding of the radiation balance of the planet and how these measurements can be used to remotely sense the Earth's atmosphere and surface. They would also participate in the development, maintenance and support of key instrument systems both current and future capabilities. The successful candidate would fly as a mission scientist and instrument operator on the FAAM BAe146 and, in time, take the lead in setting up and conducting field campaigns to further their own research projects.

    Specific job purpose

    To work as a member of a research and development team to improve the application of satellite data in numerical weather prediction and other weather and climate applications. Specific job responsibilities

    • To conduct innovative research in the field of atmospheric radiative transfer using data gathered by the FAAM BAe146 Atmospheric Research Aircraft - aimed at enhancing NWP performance and/or the utilisation of satellite remote sensing data in NWP.
    • To contribute to the planning and conduct of airborne field campaigns acting as Mission Scientist or instrument operator.
    • To publish their research results in high quality peer reviewed publications.
    • To take part in scientific consultancy work as the need arises.

    OBR Scientist Job Requirements

    Qualifications, skills and abilities required

    Essential

    • A good background in a physical science or maths to at least degree level (2:1 or above). For applicants wishing to be considered for Scientist level or above there is a requirement have a PHD or equivalent research experience and evidence of ability to perform scientific research with limited supervision.
    • Evidence of analysis and interpretation of scientific data.
    • Evidence of ability to work on own initiative and as part of a team.
    • Proven ability to provide innovative solutions to scientific problems and overcome obstacles.
    • Evidence of effective oral and written communication skills.
    • Experience of computing under a Linux and Windows environment including programming with a high level language (e.g. Fortran, IDL, C++, Python).

    Desirable
    • Knowledge and experience in atmospheric radiative transfer modelling or cloud microphysics.
    • Knowledge and experience of Earth remote sensing from satellites.
    • Evidence of an understanding of instrumentation used to measure the atmosphere.

    Additional supplementary information

    The level at which the job is offered will depend on the depth and breadth of experience the applicant is able to evidence that is relevant to the post. The successful candidate will be expected to pass a medical assessment in order to fly on the FAAM BAE146 aircraft.
