Applications are invited for a research position to work on a three-year research project investigating the injection heights of global wildfire smoke emissions through novel remote sensing, numerical modelling and fieldwork experiments. The work will link to a parallel activity at University of Edinburgh assessing the importance of this information to forward and inverse modelling of smoke emissions. The post is based at King's College London, UK, for 30 months at a salary of £28,289 to £30,012 per annum plus £2,323 London Allowance per annum, depending on experience.

You must be highly numerate with skills in science or engineering research, programming (ideally IDL, Matlab, Fortran), analysis of large datasets and one or more of remote sensing, numerical simulation methods, CFD modelling, atmospheric science, parallel computing, fire-related research and fieldwork.
