Are you keen to apply your expertise in programming to improve our ability to understand and predict the major risks associated with global climate change? Would you like to work in a team developing the next generation of the UK global climate and Earth system models? We seek a scientific software engineer (SSE) to work within the ARIA-funded, multi-centre project PROMOTE (Progressing Earth System Modelling for Tipping Point Early Warning Systems). The successful candidate will join the UKESM core team, contributing to the development and optimization of a new hybrid-resolution version of the 2nd UK Earth system model (UKESM2). The key aim of PROMOTE is to develop and apply a high-resolution ESM to investigate the risks, consequences, and potential interactions between abrupt changes in the North Atlantic subpolar gyre (SPG) and the Greenland ice sheet. The resulting modelling system may act as an early-warning system for abrupt change in both phenomena. PROMOTE consists of 7...
