Research Associate in Paleoclimate reconstructions

Starting date:
Duration: 4 Years
Location: Cardiff University, Wales, UK
Salary: £40,497 – £45,413 per annum (Grade 6)

Job description:
We are looking for a paleoclimate scientist to join the ERC project NatClim (Predicting the Natural Future of Earth’s Climate) within the School of Earth and Environmental Sciences at Cardiff University. Within this part of NatClim we will produce quantitative reconstructions of deep ocean temperature, ice volume and ocean circulation at multiple locations across several targeted intervals. These will form the basis for empirical calibrations that we will use to predict the hypothetical natural baseline of Earth’s climate, free from the influence of human activity. Combined with state-of-the-art numerical modelling, this will allow us to quantify the absolute future anthropogenic effect in 4 dimensions.
