    Space Weather Research Scientist Job in Exeter, England

    Space Weather Research Scientist Job Description

    Generic role: Scientist
    Profession: Science and Engineering
    12 month fixed-term, Full time at Met Office, Exeter
    Closing date for applications: 8 February 2013

    Background information

    Space Weather is a developing area of work at the Met Office. The all Hazards guidance now provided by Met Office forecasters includes alerts of space weather events. We have also signed a Memorandum of Agreement with the NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center which covers exchange of data, development of space weather services, forecaster training and collaboration on space weather research. One initial focus of Met Office space weather research is the development of a thermosphere / ionosphere data assimilation system.

    This work takes place as part of collaborative European Framework 7 projects ATMOP (Advanced Thermospheric Modelling for Orbital Prediction) and ESPAS (Near-Earth Space Data Infrastructure for e-Science). The project objectives include the development of data assimilation modules for the thermosphere and ionosphere, and the assessment of the performance of the data assimilation system, and associated first principles thermospheric models, against independent observations and other data assimilation approaches. A longer term aim is to implement this system operationally at the Met Office.

    Specific job purpose

    Design, develop and test a data assimilation system for the thermosphere and ionosphere to meet the objectives of the ATMOP and ESPAS projects, leading to the eventual operational implementation of a space weather data assimilation system at the Met Office.

    Specific job responsibilities

    • Lead the design, development, installation and testing of a thermosphere and ionosphere data assimilation system, and associated first principles models, to meet the requirements of the ATMOP and ESPAS projects.
    • Present results at ATMOP and ESPAS project meetings, international conferences, and meetings with other partners or customers, to heighten awareness of our work.
    • Interact with UK and international research partners, and with colleagues in other parts of the Met Office (eg Hazards Centre), to seek feedback, and opportunities for new research initiatives or operational developments.
    • Document and lodge relevant code into the relevant existing Met Office software systems (eg OPS), or into new, space weather-specific, software systems, as appropriate, to ensure that the code can be utilised and further developed by other Met Office staff.
    • Write papers for publication in peer-reviewed journals, as appropriate, to raise the visibility and reputation of the Met Office in this field.

    Space Weather Research Scientist Job Requirements

    Qualifications, skills and abilities required

    Essential

    • A good degree (2.1 or above or 2.2 with postgraduate qualification or equivalent experience) in a physical science, mathematics or a related subject.
    • Evidence of effectively achieving major scientific goals with minimal supervision or guidance.
    • Demonstrated ability to successfully present material via briefings and seminars to scientific colleagues.
    • Demonstrated ability to write scientific reports and publish scientific papers.
    • Evidence of contributing positively to team working responsibilities and of effectively achieving team goals.
    • Good scientific computing skills (in eg Fortran) and demonstrated ability to effectively use software applications (eg IDL).
    • A background in, or demonstrated interest in, space weather and/or the thermosphere and ionosphere.

    Desirable
    • Ability to effectively communicate with non-specialists in order to publicise, and gain further support for, Met Office research activities (eg in space weather).
    • Experience in using Met Office numerical modelling or data assimilation software systems (UM, VAR), or equivalent.
    • Experience of data assimilation techniques or equivalent (eg inverse methods).

    Additional supplementary information
    There is a possibility for this post to be extended beyond 12 months, subject to receiving additional funding.
