0611-26An exciting opportunity exists for a post-doctoral researcher to undertake research into probabilistic volcanic ash dispersion modelling. The successful candidate will develop novel methodologies for representing and propagating uncertainty in temporally varying eruption source parameters, with a particular focus on time-varying mass eruption rate (MER) and plume height. By building on recent developments and requirements for uncertainty quantification in volcanic ash forecasting you will develop computationally efficient techniques that maintain the speed required for operational forecasting by the Met Office/ London Volcanic Ash Advisory Centre, whilst improving eruption source representations.
You will be working and based at Lancaster University and will regularly engage with the Atmospheric Dispersion and Air Quality (ADAQ) group at the Met Office, home to the London Volcanic Ash Advisory Centre. The work is highly collaborative with team members working across ADAQ and Lancaster University working towards developing operational capability. Candidates without a background in volcanology are strongly encouraged to apply, we are looking for a candidate with a background in statistics, applied mathematics, and/or computational science. This position is funded by EPSRC, the Met Office, and Lancaster University.
