We are seeking to appoint an outstanding Postdoctoral researcher with expertise in multi-scale urban climate modelling to join our NERC-funded research project COSMA to understand the overheating risk and heatwaves in South Asian counties using Sri Lanka as a case study. The main goal of the work will be to undertake multi-scale climate modeling (urban and building scales) and overheating risk mapping. The post will be based in the School of the Built Environment, but working closely with Department of Meteorology, University of Reading, UK, and will involve working overseas Co-Is and partners.
Main duties and responsibilities
Contribute to the modelling, evaluation, application and analysis of urban atmosphere exchanges (e.g. sensible heat, latent heat flux and air temperature, thermal comfort, overheating risk) using urban land surface models (e.g. SUEWS, JULES/MORUSES, SLUCM, BEP/BEM, etc) offline and online.
Conduct the multi-scale urban climate modeling combining urban climate model with building physics models such as Energy+/IES, etc
Develop GIS overheating risk/mitigation potential maps to be used by local government and professional bodies
Organize stakeholder workshops to engage local partners
Effectively communicate and collaborate with project partners to facilitate cross disciplinary research with the international and interdisciplinary partners
Lead/participate literature reviews
Prepare papers and reports to achieve milestones and deliverables (journal articles, conference presentations, materials for workshops etc), often with tight deadlines in collaboration with project partners
You will have:
PhD in a relevant discipline (meteorology, architectural engineering, building service engineering, building physics, HVAC, physical geography, etc)
Advanced knowledge on urban meteorology/ building-urban physics
Excellent programming skills in Python, R, MATLAB, and/or Fortran
Excellent experience with running WRF and/or the UM for urban climate modeling
Experience of using building energy simulation models
Relevant experience on Data processing of observational or modelled data sets
Preparation/publication of peer reviewed journal papers
