Chair in Comparative Planetary Atmospheres

You will be an outstanding academic in the field of Comparative Planetary Atmospheres, undertaking world class research based on your experience in the broad field of terrestrial and / or extra-terrestrial planetary atmospheres. Examples of areas in which you may work are: ocean-atmosphere geophysical fluid dynamics, including dynamical systems approaches; statistical modelling approaches to atmospheric processes, including managing model uncertainty; modelling that supports the interpretation of observational data; and the development of atmospheric chemistry-climate models. You will enhance and strengthen interdisciplinary collaborative research whilst contributing to the leadership and development of the Priestley International Centre for Climate.

You will have a PhD / doctorate or equivalent experience in a relevant discipline, a proven track record in research and a demonstrated commitment to student education. You will also possess the ability to work collaboratively across subject areas and to establish links other disciplines and research groups.

In joining the Priestley International Centre for Climate and the University of Leeds you will become part of an internationally-focussed University that provides all of our students with an outstanding education and experience and at the same time undertakes cutting-edge research of high quality, impact and significance. Increasing knowledge and opportunity in powerful combination is a defining feature of life at Leeds. This ambition is now underpinned by a major new investment plan by the University to deliver further academic development addressing the challenges of education and research across a broad range of disciplines. It is therefore an exciting time to join a University which has recently been awarded University of the Year 2017.
