Background/Overview:

Purpose:

BAS has a track record of world-leading research on the Earth’s radiation belts. This has resulted in the creation of the BAS Radiation Belt Model (BAS-RBM) that is now licensed to the Met. Office and provides hourly forecasts to the European Space Agency (ESA). Current research at BAS includes developing new models with extended energy ranges, improving our understanding of wave-particle interactions in the radiation belts, increasing our understanding of how to model storm-time dynamics, characterising precipitation into the atmosphere and incorporating data assimilation into radiation belt models. This work is supported by a mixture of grants, contracts and Ph.D. funding.

BAS is now seeking to appoint someone who can contribute to our research on radiation belt modelling and develop their skills to lead this work in the future.

The post can be appointed at either Band E or Band F, depending on experience. The successful candidate will be able to demonstrate significant experience developing computational models and have a background in magnetospheric physics, preferably in radiation belt physics. Candidates with appropriate leadership experience and a proven ability to win competitive funding may be appointed at the higher band. For further details see the skills specification.

Duties:

Band E

  • Develop a leading role in BAS’s research on the radiation belts and expand its scope.
  • Lead applications for grant funding.
  • Publish papers.
  • Attend conferences, giving presentations and publicising BAS research.
  • Supervise Ph.D. students.

Band F – (in addition to those for Band E)

  • Line manage junior scientists.
  • Lead the development of new applications for existing and new customers.
  • Lead the negotiation and definition of contracts with external bodies (e.g. ESA, Met Office).

Skills, Qualifications and Experience

Essential:

  • Background in magnetospheric physics.
  • Significant experience in computational modelling.
  • Ph.D. or equivalent experience in physics, maths or closely related field.
  • Strong mathematical ability.

  • Significant number of relevant publications.
  • Track record of successful grant or fellowship applications. (Band F)
  • Proficient in written and spoken English.

Desirable:

  • Strong background in radiation belt physics.
  • Experience working with radiation belt models.
  • Ph.D. or equivalent experience in radiation belt physics.
  • Good working knowledge of python, FORTRAN and GIT.
  • Experience of leading software development.
  • Experience supervising Ph.D. students.
  • Demonstrate good presentation skills.
  • Experience working with organisations outside academia.

The role holder will be required to have the appropriate level of security screening/vetting required for the role. UKRI reserves the right to run or re-run security clearance as required during the course of employment.
