The Opportunity

The ARC Centre of Excellence for the Weather of the 21st Century (21st Century Weather for short) is a Federally-funded consortium of 24 partners, led by Monash University in partnership  with the University of Melbourne, the University of New South Wales, the Australian National University, and the University of Tasmania. This Centre aims to determine how Australia’s weather is being reshaped by climate change. The Centre aspires to provide Australia with the knowledge, technology, and human capital for robust evidence-based decision-making in response to future weather changes in our region and to harness weather as a resource. The Centre offers a stimulating and supportive environment where researchers, students and professional and technical staff can network, thrive and grow their careers. 

We are seeking to appoint a Research Fellow in Large scale influence of fine-scale coupled processes, within the School of Earth, Atmosphere and Environment. 

Reporting into Professor Julie Arblaster , you will be responsible for investigating key processes and feedback through which fine-scale coupled interactions between the atmosphere, ocean and land influence the large-scale weather and climate. This will include the design and analysis of novel climate model experiments at varying model resolutions to investigate upscale impacts of capturing interactions at smaller and smaller scales.

As the successful candidate, you will have a doctoral qualification in Atmospheric, Oceanographic or Climate Science, or a closely related discipline. You will also have demonstrated experience in designing, running and analysing numerical climate model experiments. 

If this sounds like the next step in your career, we look forward to hearing from you!

Diversity is one of our greatest strengths at Monash. We encourage applications from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, culturally and linguistically diverse people, people with disabilities, neurodiverse people, and people of all genders, sexualities, and age groups.

Your employment is contingent upon the satisfactory completion of all pre-employment and/or background checks required for the role, as determined by the University.
