Research Fellow in Extreme Environments
Northumbria University, Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom
https://work4.northumbria.ac.uk/hrvacs/eae1534
Closing Date = 12 May 2016

Northumbria University is investing in several multidisciplinary research themes. Solar Physics is one of the research areas relevant to the “Extreme Environments” multidisciplinary research theme. Hence, I wanted to bring this opportunity to your attention.

The “Vice-Chancellor” Fellowship will be for three years in the first instance with the expectation of progression to a permanent academic position at the end of the Fellowship subject to satisfactory progress.

The Extreme Environments multidisciplinary research theme is a university-wide initiative which draws together ground-breaking research in understanding and harnessing physical and biological environments that operate under extreme conditions, such as those found in the Earth’s surface, subsurface, oceans, atmosphere and in the solar system. Theme expertise ranges from the geophysical exploration of Antarctic subglacial lakes, responses of glaciers, snow cover and permafrost to climate change through the investigation of nonlinear waves, the Sun-Earth connection, solar physics and space weather, to the reconstruction of past extreme climates using ocean cores, speleothems and pollen records.

We seek to appoint high calibre individuals at Research Fellow or Senior Research Fellow level, with an excellent international reputation in research areas relevant to the Extreme Environments multidisciplinary research theme.

You will be based in the Department of Mathematics & Information Sciences or the Department of Geography as appropriate to your disciplinary strengths. You will drive and enhance the highest quality research, teaching and entrepreneurial activities and actively encourage this amongst colleagues. The Departments have particular strengths in solar physics, computer science, environmental geochemistry & microbiology, mathematics, cold and palaeoenvironments, physics and statistics.

Candidates with expertise in any of these research areas are welcome to apply, and we will consider high quality applicants in any fields of research relevant to the Extreme Environments theme.
