POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP IN MET ÉIREANN
Met Éireann, a line division of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, is seeking expressions of interests in a research fellowship, which will commence as soon as possible. The following is a description of the role to be recruited for.
Postdoctoral Researcher – Future Weather: An Investigation of Storm Scenarios for Ireland (Fixed term Contract)
The goal of this project is to investigate the dynamics of post-tropical cyclones, such as Storms Ophelia and Lorenzo, and to quantify how these dynamics and the associated impacts on Ireland may change in a future warmer climate.
The Researcher will work in collaboration with Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) and climate modelling colleagues, and use the operational HARMONIE-AROME model to carry out case studies of historical storms such as Ophelia and Lorenzo. An emerging framework for studying such extreme events and their changing impacts is the so-called “future weather” framework, whereby prescribed climatic forcings are used with high-resolution NWP models to stress-test meteorological events under physically-plausible scenarios. The Researcher will use this framework to study these storms in a warmer climate and to assess the changes in their associated impacts on Ireland.
