2 Postdoctoral Research Positions: Atmospheric Chemistry-Climate Interactions, UK

Applications are invited for two post-doctoral researchers to undertake numerical modelling studies of the interaction between atmospheric chemistry processes and the climate system. One position will be based in the Department of Chemistry with Professor John Pyle and will focus on aspects of modelling the chemistry of the troposphere and stratosphere. The second will be based in the Department of Applied Mathematics with Professor Peter Haynes and will focus on dynamical interactions, including stratosphere-troposphere coupling. Both post-holders will be expected to interact strongly with the existing chemistry-climate modelling group in the Department of Chemistry.

Applicants should have (or be about to receive) a PhD in atmospheric science, physical chemistry, applied mathematics, or a related subject, and should have experience with numerical modelling in a research context.

Research Fellow in Computational Models of Language Acquisition and Processing, Australia

The appointees will work on projects funded by Macquarie University and/or the Australian Research Council involving the development of computational models of language acquisition and on-line sentence processing. The language acquisition research uses non-parametric Bayesian models, which the appointee will be responsible for extending and applying to new domains. The on-line sentence processing research involves the development of an incremental CCG parsing model and using it as a language model in a speech disfluency detection and correction system. The appointees duties include carrying out research and data analysis, developing and extending mathematical models of language acquisition and comprehension, system design and implementation, as well as interacting with our growing research team and collaborating with other group members.
