ABOUT THE ROLE

An exciting opportunity has arisen to join the UK Centre for Polar Observation and Modelling (CPOM) as a research fellow, specialising in land and/or sea ice Earth Observation.

CPOM is a world-leading centre, led by Northumbria University and working across 6 UK partner universities, that creates and uses satellite observations and numerical models to study processes occurring at Earth’s polar latitudes. Founded in 2000, CPOM’s core work is to provide UK national capability science, funded by the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) in partnership with the British Antarctic Survey (BAS). This underpins a broader programme of research carried out in collaboration with a wide range of strategic partners, including the European Space Agency, NASA, UK Met Office, and the National Centre for Earth Observation. At Northumbria, CPOM is closely aligned with established interdisciplinary research themes on Extreme Environments, Future of Ice on Earth, and Space.

The purpose of this role will be to support the CPOM science programme, undertaking personal and collaborative research activities, contributing ideas to further develop and/or refine Earth Observation techniques or methodologies, and writing up research work for publication. The post holder will be expected to contribute towards the supervision of research student projects. Opportunities will be provided to participate in the delivery of other teaching and learning activities, should they be desired by the post holder. For more details, please see the role description.

This is currently a two-year position, but the contract length will be reviewed after the successful completion of a probation period, with the opportunity to extend.

The successful candidate will work within the UK Centre for Polar Observation and Modelling (CPOM), based in the Department of Geography & Environmental Sciences within the Faculty of Engineering and Environment at Northumbria University, Newcastle, UK.  The work is funded by the Natural Environment Research Council’s long-term programme of national capability science.

We would like this post to start as soon as possible. Please note that, due to the timescales associated with the project, it may not be possible to offer candidates who do not have the current right to work in the UK sponsorship.

For an informal discussion about the post, please contact Dr Inès Otosaka (ines.otosaka@northumbria.ac.uk).
