This project involves close collaboration with the project PI and other involved researchers at the University of Oxford, as well as overseas Project Partners at the University of Liège and Utrecht University.

Here we have an exciting opportunity for a Postdoctoral Research Associate (PDRA) with experience of statistical analysis and/or modelling, computer programming and preferably some meteorology/climate/glaciology background, to join our growing team. Some research background and expertise on the Greenland Ice Sheet and/or regional climate modelling would be ideal. The PDRA will work directly on the NERC project to help push back the frontiers of knowledge and understanding in the topical and high-impact area of climatic drivers of the Greenland Ice Sheet melt.

We expect the project to begin on 1 April 2027.
