A funded PhD position is available at the Atmospheric Science Research
Group, University of Hertfordshire, Hatfield, UK
Title: NERC/NCAS/UWERN Funded PhD Research Studentship, University of
Hertfordshire
Topic: Improvement of urban canopy schemes within the Unified Model for
air quality applications

The use of mesoscale models for predicting air quality at high resolutions is a growing area of research. In order to apply these models to predict air quality in urban areas, improved parametrisation schemes are required to account for urban features that affect surface exchange processes and flow and dispersion characteristics. You will work as part of a collaborative project between the Universities of Hertfordshire and Reading and the Met Office on improving the urban canopy parametrisation schemes within the Unified Model (UM). The model will be interfaced to a state of the art photochemistry-transport model (CMAQ) to study air pollution in and around London. You will need to have a good first degree and possibly a Masters in a relevant discipline such as meteorology, physical sciences, engineering, computer science or environmental sciences. You will also have an interest in air pollution and in the use of computational methods. In addition, you will need to meet the normal NERC eligibility criteria as stated on www.nerc.ac.uk. Please send your full CV to Professor Ranjeet S Sokhi at the Atmospheric Science Research Group (ASRG), Science and Technology Research Institute, University of Hertfordshire, College Lane, Hatfield, AL10 9AB. Tel: 01707 284520.
