The role will involve developing and using a mathematical model to assess the influence of subglacial water on the motion of the Greenland ice sheet. It will involve working together with collaborators at the University of Lancaster and the University of Edinburgh, who are developing models of ‘supra-glacial’ meltwater drainage, and making satellite observations of ice-sheet motion.

The successful candidate will be expected to have or be close to completing, a PhD in Mathematics, Physics, Earth Science, or a related discipline, together with the ability to manage their own academic research and associated activities, and will possess excellent communication skills, including the ability to write for publication.
