Glacier Geophysicist
Glacier Geophysicist
BAS - British Antarctic Survey
Cambridge, United Kingdom
The British Antarctic Survey (BAS) is seeking to appoint a Glacier Geophysicist to join our Ice Dynamics and Palaeoclimate team studying the processes that control ice sheet and glacier flow. You’ll join a team of glaciologists working together to improve our understanding of the evolving ice dynamics in Antarctica and beyond. By leading ground-based geophysics studies of the ice sheets, you will contribute to assessments of how these regions are changing and what the future might hold for them in a warming world. You will be keen, motivated and committed with a strong academic background, an enthusiasm for fieldwork, and an adaptable and innovative approach.
You will build on the established geophysical capability at BAS, which includes active and passive seismic, radar and GPS methods. The role is based in the Ice Dynamics and Palaeoclimate team, and you will develop strong links across BAS Science and the wider scientific community. This is a unique opportunity to help further our integrated observation and modelling approach to answering the big questions around the future contribution of the ice sheets to sea level rise.
Support and training will be provided to get the successful candidate up to speed with all aspects of the role.
