Deadline 26 May 2023
The Centre for Climate Research Singapore (CCRS) is looking for a Research Scientist to advance scientific understanding of tropical climate variability and change and its associated weather systems affecting Singapore and the wider Southeast Asia region.
About the Position
This position will further enhance CCRS’s sub-kilometre urban-scale ‘uSINGV’ modelling capabilities to more realistically represent the influence of urban surface characteristics and urbanisation on local weather and climate, for use in ultra-high-resolution local numerical weather prediction and climate change projections.
Duties and Responsibilities
Your main duties would be:
• Keeping abreast with the latest research and developments in the areas of urban-scale modelling for weather and climate application.
• Further developing, evaluating and improving uSINGV capabilities, focusing on the representation of land-surface and boundary-layer processes.
• Applying uSINGV to explore and improve the fundamental processes governing the weather and climate in the region.
• Working with local and international institutes to cultivate relevant research collaborations and partnerships.
• Working with CCRS’s partners to expand the use of uSINGV in local weather and climate research and applications.
• Publishing research outcomes in peer-reviewed publications and presenting findings at international meetings.
• Communicate relevant research findings to relevant stakeholders through verbal briefings and reports.
Eligibility
They are looking for candidates with the following profile:
• PhD degree (or equivalent) in atmospheric sciences, fluid dynamics or a related field.
• At least 3 years of research experience in an area of high-resolution weather and climate modelling, and/or applying such models in weather and climate research.
• High level of proficiency in scientific programming (e.g., Fortran, Python) and experience of using HPC.
• Familiarity with urban-scale regional modelling, for example using the regional modelling suites of UKMO Unified Model and/or its key modelling components desirable.
• Good written and verbal communication skills, with publications in peer-reviewed journals are desirable.
• Experience working as part of a multi-disciplinary, international scientific team
• Ability to work effectively to deadlines on individual projects and as part of a diverse team.
• Interest and passion to deliver relevant R&D for societal benefits.
• Ability to network effectively with the local and international research community.
• Ability to engage and communicate with scientists and stakeholders from diverse communities.
• As part of the shortlisting process for this role, you may be required to complete a medical declaration and/or undergo further assessment.
They will update on the status of your applications within 4 weeks of the closing date of this job posting.
