Research Fellow in Coastal and Sea-Level Modelling

This role will be based on the university campus, with scope for it to be undertaken in a hybrid manner. We are also open to discussing flexible working arrangements.

Are you motivated by delivering applied geoscience research to meet the challenges of the energy transition? 

 In this exciting and impactful role, you will work closely with the sea-level change and coastal sedimentology experts and colleagues at the UK Government organisation, Nuclear Waste Services. You will lead a review of sea-level change rates and identify appropriate analogues of transgressive coastal systems. The results will inform data-driven assessments of future sea-level scenarios using process-based coastal change modelling to support decision-making around future sea-level change scenarios and risk assessments. You will join a large and diverse research group focussing on sea-level change, sedimentology, and Quaternary geology and work alongside the Geosolutions Leeds interdisciplinary research centre.
