Closing date: Tuesday 3rd November 2020 We invite applications for an Instrument Scientist in the field of Cloud Microphysics. The position is funded by the National Centre for Atmospheric Science (NCAS).

Role requirements

1. Delivery of measurement facilities and data to the UK atmospheric science community, as part of the Atmospheric Measurement and Observation Facility (AMOF). A major component of this consists of fieldwork, including operating from research aircraft.
2. Delivery of NCAS science in the area of cloud microphysics, including development of new calibration methods, instrument development, and publication of research findings in peer reviewed journals.
