Would you like to develop a programme of original research in the area of atmospheric boundary-layer science? Do you have a substantial track record of high-quality research publications in independently peer-reviewed journals? Are you someone who enjoys working collaboratively and keen to shape the strategic development of atmospheric boundary-layer science? If so, we want to hear from you!

We are seeking to recruit a highly motivated individual to develop and grow atmospheric boundary-layer research within NCAS. Understanding the role of the atmospheric boundary layer is crucial to addressing the key environmental and societal challenges driving NCAS science. Atmospheric boundary-layer science is therefore a high strategic priority for NCAS. This is a unique opportunity to shape the strategic direction of NCAS in this area of research.

This will involve working with research teams across NCAS to deliver on the atmospheric boundary-layer science components of the NCAS science strategy/programme. You will liaise closely with the NCAS Weather Science Programme Lead to provide/develop leadership in the area of atmospheric boundary-layer science. The role will be based at the NCAS Leeds site, where it will contribute to developing a research group in this area.
