The Centre for Australian Weather and Climate Research (CAWCR, which is a partnership between the Bureau of Meteorology and CSIRO) is seeking a Senior Climate Modeler to lead the effort to investigate mechanisms and predictability of climate variability and change through experimentation and analysis of climate predictions and simulations with the ACCESS climate model. This position will do fundamental climate variability/predictability research with the ACCESS model that will lead to improved understanding of climate variability and directly promote and guide improvement of the model, especially as related to the representation of key physical processes by the model’s physical parameterizations.  The appointee will be a member of the Seasonal Prediction Team within CAWCR but will establish an interface between  climate model developers within the ACCESS group and at the UK Met Office.

The appointee is expected to have a strong background in climate modelling, including hands-on experience with climate model code, extensive knowledge and experience with verification of climate model simulations and predictions using observational data and a strong record of publication in peer-reviewed journals. A PhD in a field relevant to climate modelling and variability and demonstrated ability to lead focused research efforts and to supervise junior scientists are required. Overseas applicants are encouraged to apply.
