Fixed-term: The funds for this post are available for 5 years. Computational modelling is at the core of climate science, where complex models of earth systems are key to the scientific process. Most models embed significant inherent and accidental complexity which hampers verification and maintenance, reproducibility, and performance. There is consequently a pressing need for computer science research to provide the tools and techniques that climate scientists need to deliver new high-quality, high-performance, and high-assurance models. Applying the latest computer science research to support climate science is the aim of this 5-year Early Career Academic Fellowship in the new Institute of Computing for Climate Science (ICCS) at the University of Cambridge. The institute is a joint venture between the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics, the Department of Computer Science and Technology and University Information Services, thanks to a philanthropic...
