Job Title: Research Fellow in Climate and Fluid Physics
The Research School of Earth Sciences at the Australian National University (ANU) is a world-renowned institution for Earth and Marine Science. Our research agenda encompasses all aspects of the Earth system, from climate change to deep earth processes, and from the distant past to future projections.
We are seeking highly motivated and creative scientists to join our team as a Research Fellow in Climate & Fluid Physics. You will have the opportunity to develop and lead a world-class research portfolio, contribute to research-led teaching and research training activities, and undertake novel research on the fluid dynamics of the climate system.
About the Role
The Climate & Fluid Physics group at the Research School of Earth Sciences conducts cutting-edge research into the dynamics and thermodynamics of the ocean, atmosphere, cryosphere, and land surface. Our current research profile includes the fluid mechanics of basal melting of the Antarctic ice sheet, the development of Australia's next high-resolution global ocean-sea ice model, and thermodynamic approaches that integrate water cycle observations and modelling across land and ocean domains.
This role is for an initial period of seven years, with the option of renewal or conversion at the end of the appointment.
What We Offer
The ANU provides attractive benefits and excellent support to maintain a healthy work/life balance, including four weeks paid vacation per year, assistance with relocation expenses, and 17% employer contribution to superannuation.
