The Opportunity

The ARC Centre of Excellence for the Weather of the 21st Century (21st Century Weather for short) is a Federally-funded consortium of 24 partners, led by Monash University in partnership with the University of Melbourne, the University of New South Wales, the Australian National University, and the University of Tasmania. This Centre aims to determine how Australia’s weather is being reshaped by climate change. The Centre aspires to provide Australia with the knowledge, technology, and human capital for robust evidence-based decision-making in response to future weather changes in our region and to harness weather as a resource. The Centre offers a stimulating and supportive environment where researchers, students and professional and technical staff can network, thrive and grow their careers. 

We are seeking to appoint a level B Research Fellow in Weather System Dynamics in the School of Earth, Atmosphere and Environment, within the Faculty of Science. 

In collaboration with Dr Martin Singh, you will carry out world-leading, team-based research with the aim of characterising and developing dynamical understanding of the Weather Systems that impact the Australian region. The appointee will develop a research program, in collaboration with other Centre staff, that contributes to key Centre aims and spans the Centre research project Weather System Dynamics along with other Centre research projects as required. The incumbent will be supported in developing their expertise and research leadership, including opportunities for supervision of graduate research students and research staff to investigate the key processes and feedbacks that underpin the interaction between tropical and extratropical Weather Systems and how this interaction influences the downstream midlatitude large-scale environment using model reanalysis and simulations.

As the successful candidate, you will have a doctoral qualification in meteorology, atmospheric science, or a closely related discipline. You will have capacity to develop a strong, collaborative program of research focussed on the dynamics of Weather Systems underpinned by a track record of achievement in research, including publications. You will also have successful experience in supervising, mentoring and coaching to support the development of staff. 

If this sounds like the next step in your career, we look forward to hearing from you!

Diversity is one of our greatest strengths at Monash. We encourage applications from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, culturally and linguistically diverse people, people with disabilities, neurodiverse people, and people of all genders, sexualities, and age groups.
