We invite applications for an NCAS Instrument Scientist in the field of Cloud Microphysics. The position is funded by the National Centre for Atmospheric Science (NCAS). NCAS is a world leading research centre dedicated to the advancement of atmospheric science, funded by the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC).

The position is available at Grade 6 or Grade 7, depending on experience, as described in the detailed job descriptions. The initial appointment is for 3 years, but extensions are likely as part of the long term partnership between NCAS and the University. The position has two main roles:
1. Delivery of measurement facilities and data to the UK atmospheric science community, as part of the NCAS Atmospheric Measurement and Observation Facility (AMOF). A major component of this consists of fieldwork, including operating from research aircraft.
2. Delivery of NCAS science in the area of cloud microphysics, including development of new calibration methods, instrument development, and publication of research findings in peer reviewed journals.
