Job description

Offer DescriptionWe are seeking an enthusiastic and motivated post-doctoral researcher to work on the CLIMEX (‘Climate Influences on Extreme Sea-level Events’) project. The role will focus on determining how climate change affects the likelihood of sea-level extremes in the mid-latitudes, whilst assessing the relative role of sea-level rise and changes in storminess in these scenarios. The research will involve analysing climate observations and outputs from climate models through cutting-edge, Bayesian (deep) hierarchical models, with AI elements.The successful candidate will publish high quality research outcomes, and present findings at national and international meetings and conferences. The successful candidate will be part of the Sea Level and Marine Climate Research Group at the University of the Balearic Islands (UIB) in Spain and have the opportunity to collaborate with researchers from the group and the Mediterranean Institute for Advanced Studies (IMEDEA), with whom we work closely. They will also receive support to further develop their skills and career.PI: Dr. Francisco Jaime Mir CalafatFunding body: European Union (NextGenerationEU)Institution: Universitat de les Illes Balears (UIB) / University of the Balearic Islands (UIB)Where to apply WebsiteRequirementsResearch Field Environmental science » Earth science Education Level PhD or equivalentSkills/QualificationsQualifications: a PhD in Oceanic Science, Physics, Mathematics or a related field at the time of appointment.Specific RequirementsSkills:
