5. Cluster Hiring in Geo-Bioinformatics/Environmental Genomics and Organic Biogeochemistry
The Southern University of Science and Technology (known as SUSTech or SUSTC) (http://www.sustc.edu.cn/en) was founded in 2011 with public funding from Shenzhen, a dynamic city that has been viewed as the vanguard of China’s development in science and technology. The goal of SUSTech is to become a top-tier international university that excels in interdisciplinary research, talent development and knowledge discovery.
The Institute for Geo-Omics Research (TIGOR) at SUSTech aims to become an open platform for world class research in microbial oceanography and geomicrobiology, and an inviting home for domestic and overseas scientists to exchange ideas and together advance the field of ocean sciences. In the early stage of TIGOR’s growth, the priority will be to build two research strengths: Geo-Bioinformatics/Environmental Genomics and Organic Biogeochemistry. The integration of these strengths will allow us to study systematically the evolution of life on early Earth, microbial ecology impacted by human activity, mechanisms of bio-organic interactions in the deep ocean, and fundamentals of biogeochemistry (e.g. lipid biosynthesis and bio-fractionation of isotopes of life-essential elements).

7. Post-doctoral Research Associate in Atmospheric Modelling (Fixed Term)
Interested in climate change? Want to contribute?
Use your analytical skills to help solve one of the long standing problems in climate modelling.
Climate models need to represent all parts of the earth’s system. This position will work on understanding the physical processes required to represent convective clouds.
As part of a wider UK collaborative programme called ParaCon, we are aiming to make significant improvements to climate and weather models over the next five years. Working with UK experts in the field, you will perform simulations of clouds in order to unpick the important processes that contribute to the climate system. Improving the representation of convection will lead to a step-change in our ability to predict weather and climate. In addition to the UK Met Office, project partners include groups from the Universities of Cambridge, Exeter, Leeds and Reading.
This position represents an ideal opportunity to work in or move into atmospheric sciences, as it will involve collaborating widely across the UK and beyond, and working on one of the most pressing research areas for the understanding of weather and climate.
