Parkville, Australia University of Melbourne Full time

**Job no**: 0061944
**Location**:Parkville
**Role type**:Full-time; Fixed-term for 2 years
**Faculty**:Science
**Department/School**:School of Geography, Earth and Atmospheric Sciences
**Salary**:Level A - AUD $101,460 - $108,906 p.a. plus 17% super (retirement savings plan)
- **Join us in conducting high-resolution simulations to study cloud-climate interactions over the Great Barrier Reef and Southwest Pacific trade wind region.**:

- **Engage in groundbreaking research on climate impact, fostering collaboration and advancing expertise in advanced modelling techniques.**:

- **Salary packaging, subsidised health and wellbeing services, fitness and cultural clubs, Myki discounts, and a 25% discount on graduate courses to our staff and their immediate families**

**About the Role**
We're seeking a postdoctoral researcher in atmospheric science to study cloud-climate interactions over the Great Barrier Reef and Southwest Pacific trade wind region. The role involves conducting high-resolution simulations to understand how trade wind clouds and precipitation may change under a warming climate and their impacts on the reef environment.

Your responsibilities will include:

- Under the guidance and support of Senior Academic staff, conduct internationally competitive research, resulting in publications in high impact journals on topics relevant to the project.
- Perform and analyse idealised high-resolution simulations (at sub-kilometre grid spacing) to investigate potential responses of the trade wind clouds to a range of climate change perturbations relevant for the Great Barrier Reef and Southwest Pacific region.
- Extend the high-resolution simulations to understand potential precipitation changes over the downwind rainforest along the Northeast Queensland coast, in response to the simulated cloud changes under different forcing scenarios.
- Through collaborations with researchers from partner organisations, couple the future cloud changes with the CSIRO eReefs modelling system (which includes mechanistic representation of coral bleaching processes including light and temperature effects) to understand how the future cloud changes might impact the Great Barrier Reef ecosystem.

**Who We Are Looking For**
You will bring your genuine interest and research experience in shallow convection, cloud/precipitation dynamics, and physics. Additionally, you will demonstrate a proven ability to publish consistently in high-quality, peer-reviewed journals, showcasing a strong publication record aligned with your experience and opportunities.

You will also have:

- A PhD in atmospheric science or a related discipline.
- Demonstrated knowledge in atmospheric science including Tropical Meteorology.
- Demonstrated knowledge and experience in high-resolution modelling using large-eddy model simulation (LES) and/or cloud-resolving model (CRM) on high-performance computing system.
- Demonstrated experience in designing and performing numerical experiments (including modifications of model codes where appropriate) to investigate cloud and precipitation processes.

For further information regarding responsibilities and requirements, please refer to the attached PD.

**Please note: Visa sponsorship is available for this position**.

**Your New Team - “The School of Geography, Earth and Atmospheric Sciences“**
The School of Geography, Earth and Atmospheric Sciences was formally established in 2021, following the merger of the Schools of Geography and Earth Sciences. The new School synergises discipline strengths in geography, atmospheric science and geoscience. In addition to internationally recognised discipline expertise, we have strengths in a number of multi-disciplinary areas including: climate change; resource futures; space, place and social change; environmental hazards; Indigenous knowledge; and Earth system interactions. With strengths in both the spatial (local to global) and temporal (deep time as well as recent) dimensions of environmental change, the School is committed to achieving a better future for our students, society and the environment.

Science at Melbourne is a global leader across fundamental and impactful scientific research and education. Science begins with curiosity, and we are dedicated to understanding the universe from the level of sub-atomic particles to the solar system. We aim to be leaders who positively impact the community locally and globally, addressing major societal issues from climate change to disease. Our discoveries help build an understanding of the world around us.

We have more than 150 years of experience in pioneering scientific thinking and analysis, leading to outstanding teaching and learning and offer a curriculum based on highly relevant research. We aim to train students with the knowledge and intellectual flexibility to drive the industries of tomorrow and lead across all levels of society.
