Postdoctoral Research Assistant in Climate Predictability and Dynamics
University of Oxford
Academic Posting
We are seeking a curious and motivated postdoc to join the Predictability of Weather and Climate (Antje Weisheimer) and
(Tim Woollings) research groups within Oxford’s Physics department.
Climate DynamicsThe position offers an exciting opportunity to work as part of the NERC/UKRI-funded AUSPICE project — Advancing Understanding of the Signal-to-noise Paradox and its Impacts on Climate Ensembles, with project partners at the University of Reading, the UK Met Office, ECMWF and NCAR. The project will address a significant problem in climate forecasting known as the Signal-to-Noise Paradox. It describes how the real world can sometimes appear more predictable than our best climate models suggest — meaning the models may underestimate predictable signals. In this role, you will help develop innovative approaches to better understand this paradox, correct its impacts and improving the reliability of climate forecasts for the Euro-Atlantic region and beyond.
We welcome applicants with a PhD in weather and climate science, mathematics, physics, statistical science or a closely related field who bring curiosity and ability for independent, innovative thinking about the climate system.
Application deadline: Midday (UK time), Monday 5 January 2026
