Research Fellow in Palaeoclimate Reconstruction and Data Analysis
University of Southampton, UK

The School of Geography and Environmental Science at the University of Southampton seeks to appoint a Research Fellow to work on a UKRI-funded project led by Dr Zoë Thomas, entitled “The View from the South: New approaches for understanding mechanisms and impacts of climate tipping points”. This project will pioneer the development of new proxies of wind strength and temperature records from the South Atlantic, using the latest technologies and interdisciplinary techniques.

The project aims to identify the relationships between southern hemisphere atmospheric circulation shifts and global climate tipping points. The Research Fellow will work on several tasks: (1) undertake laboratory work to generate new palaeoclimate records from South Atlantic peat sediments, (2) assemble and chronologically align datasets from the Atlantic Basin, and (3) undertake statistical and time series analysis to explore the latitudinal propagation of climate signals.

The post holder will have the opportunity, subject to starting date and travel restrictions, to undertake fieldwork in the South Atlantic during the post tenure. The post is tenable from 1st October 2024 (or as soon as possible thereafter) and is fixed term for 3.5 years.

Application closing date is 17 July 2024. Please contact Dr Zoë Thomas (z.thomas at soton.ac.uk<mailto:z.thomas at soton.ac.uk>) for more details.
