Python Job: Research Fellow

The Opportunity

An exciting opportunity is available for a Research Fellow to join the School of Earth, Atmosphere & Environment at Monash University. The School of Earth, Atmosphere & Environment is a world-class centre for research in the diverse areas of Atmosphere, Climate, Geography, Environment and Solid Earth. The Research Fellow will work with glaciologists within the Monash Ice Sheet Initiative (MISI), including Professor Andrew Mackintosh who will supervise the position.

Monash University is an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer with a strong institutional commitment to excellence and diversity, and the Research Fellow will be well integrated into a highly supportive and dynamic research environment that has a strong history of research excellence and collaboration with researchers locally and internationally.

As the Research Fellow, you will become an integral part of MISI and the School of Earth, Atmosphere & Environment. The primary purpose of this position is to carry out and support field, laboratory and computer-based research on glaciers and ice sheets and their interaction with the climate system in the past, present and future. This work will lead to improved understanding of global sea level changes and water resources.

About you

As the successful candidate, you will have:

• A PhD in glaciology, glacial geology or a related discipline, with a sound record of publication
• Experience in working with a range of analytical software such as Geographical Information Systems (e.g QGIS, Generic Mapping Tools) remote sensing platforms, and/or scientific programming (e.g. Python, MATLAB)
• Experience in applying cosmogenic nuclide methods and/or numerical modelling to problems in glaciology

This is an ideal role for a researcher who wishes to apply their research skills in an area where research findings can be readily and relatively quickly translated into meaningful outcomes, in addition to traditional academic outputs.

This role is a full-time position; however, flexible working arrangements may be negotiated.

Your application must address the selection criteria. Please refer to "How to apply for Monash Jobs".
