Working as part of multi-disciplinary team, you will support the Principal Investigator, Sainan Sun, in delivery of research activity funded by the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC): ‘Interacting ice Sheet and Ocean Tipping Indicators, Processes, Impacts and Challenges (ISOTIPIC)’.

The aim of this project is to understand the processes controlling key tipping points (TPs) associated with the oceans and ice sheets and assess their potential impacts on society and the global Earth system. The project is a collaboration between the University of Northumbria at Newcastle, the University of Liverpool, the National Oceanography Centre, British Antarctic Survey, the University of Reading, the University of Bristol and the University of Southampton.

You will investigate the stability regime of West Antarctic Ice Sheet regarding the Marine Ice Cliff Instability (MICI) using the numerical ice-sheet model Úa, and develope and test the efficacy of early warning indicators. 

Affiliated with the Northumbria University, the candidate will work with Dr. Sainan Sun (on MICI) and Prof. Hilmar Gudmundsson (on Early Warning indicators). The candidate will work as a part of an active research group Future of Ice on Earth in Northumbria University. Furthermore, the role holder will be expected to work closely with project collaborators from other research institutes.

We are looking for a highly motivated Research Fellow or Senior Research Fellow to work on novel technologies for fibre communication systems.

Be a part of the University of Southampton, an institution in the top one per cent of world universities and one of the UK’s Russell group research-intensive universities. We have an international reputation for research, teaching and enterprise activities. You will work in the world leading Optoelectronics Research Centre (ORC) and will have access to the world class facilities and dedicated researchers that this provides. The Telecommunications Systems Laboratory is equipped with state-of-the-art equipment for experimentation in photonic systems and provides direct access to the UK’s National Dark Fibre Facility, a unique geographically distributed transmission facility dedicated to research, linking together four top British universities.

You will be part of the UK’s Federated Telecoms Hubs, which aims to revolutionize the communication infrastructures of the future. The project will design new systems based on multi-core optical fibres and carry out proof-of-principle experiments in customised high-speed communication testbeds. This will require an in-depth understanding of optical technology and the ability to develop novel solutions benefitting from novel fibre structures.

In addition to experimenting with multi-core fibres, you will take part in specifying the characteristics of these components prior to fabrication and will contribute to their characterisation. You will be responsible for designing and executing the experiments that will best describe their behaviour and you will demonstrate their potential in communication networks, often in collaboration with the project partners and other researchers within the group and the ORC.

To be successful, you must have a strong background in photonics and communications with extensive practical experience of working with optical fibres and systems. Ideally, you will also have experience in characterising optical fibres, photonic components, optical system modelling and/or the design and experimentation of high-speed optical communication systems.

You must also have proven skills in the critical evaluation and interpretation of data and of working as part of a collaborative research team. You must hold a PhD* or equivalent qualification related to fibre optics or photonics. Previous postdoctoral experience is favoured but not necessary.

* Applications for Research Fellow positions will be considered from candidates who are working towards or nearing completion of a relevant PhD qualification.
