The Department of Earth Sciences and St Hugh’s College are recruiting an Associate Professor of Climate Science to join our thriving academic community. The appointee will have outstanding potential and will bring exciting new perspectives. The role will start from 1 October 2025, or as soon as possible thereafter. This is a joint appointment: the person appointed to the Associate Professorship will also be appointed to a Tutorial Fellowship at College and will be a trustee and member of its Governing Body.
We seek to appoint a scientist whose research expertise complements the significant existing strengths in climate science within the department. The successful candidate may come from across a broad range of scientific disciplines. Particular areas of interest include, but are not limited to, the numerical modelling of biogeochemical cycles and of other aspects of the climate system such as cryospheric, oceanographic or atmospheric processes. Candidates with inter-disciplinary interests and experience are encouraged to apply.
The successful candidate will have a doctorate in a numerate discipline relevant to climate science. The main duties of the post are to carry out research at an international level, to participate in the administration of the department and governance of the college, and to teach, supervise, and examine undergraduate and postgraduate students.
