Vacancy for a Scientific Software Developer at CERC
Headline
CERC is looking to recruit a bright graduate or post-doc to join our team of 12 software developers and air quality scientists in Cambridge.
Why you'd like to join us
CERC develops, supports and promotes environmental software used in commercial and research applications worldwide, including the widely-used Atmospheric Dispersion Modelling System, ADMS. The company's developers and consultants are scientific leaders in dispersion modelling, providing advice and training to governments, environment agencies and model users around the world. CERC employs around 25 staff.
CERC's scientific software developers write and modify code that enhances CERC's software in terms of improvements to the underlying science, user experience and new features. They also develop new products. The majority of the scientific programming undertaken at CERC is written in Fortran, but products are also developed in R, MATLAB and Excel.
The scientific development team is regularly involved with projects that require non-standard analysis and/or bespoke model developments. The team is responsible for research into new model developments, as well as ongoing model validation. The team also writes project reports and publications for peer-reviewed journals, in order to justify the scientific basis of the environmental software developed.
A new starter at CERC will follow a planned induction and training programme and be given regular reviews to plan career development.
You will need
The successful candidate will have a good degree, MSc or PhD in mathematics, physics, engineering or a natural science. They will have some experience of scientific software development, for example using MATLAB. IDL, Fortran, python, C, R or VBA (macros). Any knowledge of the following scientific fields of study would be looked upon favourably: meteorology, atmospheric physics, meso-scale atmospheric modelling, wind engineering and CFD. Further, candidates must be able to: take an intellectually rigorous approach to solving scientific problems; keep in mind the practical needs of users; meet challenging deadlines; and communicate effectively in written and spoken English.
Apply
This is a two-year, full-time position, with an initial 3-month probationary period. You will be wording at our offices opposite Kings College on Kings Parade. Cambridge and your salary will be in the range £22,000 to £30.000. depending on qualifications/skills. You will be entitled to 25 days holiday per year, in addition to public holidays.

Modelling the temperature impact of cold plumes
CERC was commissioned to carry out a novel assessment of the impact of plumes of cold air from an array of Air Source heat Pumps (ASHPs) on the surrounding air temperature. In work commissioned by Sustainable Energy Ltd, the CERC consultancy team used ADMS 5 and the dense gas dispersion model GASTAR to carry out dispersion modelling of the plumes of cold air. A single elevated jet, representing the emissions from a single ASHP unit, was represented in each model, and plume centreline height and temperature were...

Addressing air quality in London`s Old Kent Road
The Old Kent Road (OKR) has been designated as an Opportunity Area in the London Plan and Southwark Council are preparing an Area Action Plan. Under the plan, the area will see the addition of 20,000 new homes, 10,000 new jobs and the extension of the Bakerloo Line. With this expected growth, Southwark Council has commissioned CERC to carry out an air quality study to provide a robust, holistic evidence base to support the OKR Area Action Plan air quality policy, which includes modelling wind flows and air...

Ocean Wind Wave Climate Responses to Wintertime North Atlantic Atmospheric Transient Eddies and Low-Frequency Flow
Atmospheric transient eddies and low-frequency flow contributions to the ocean surface wave climate in the North Atlantic during boreal winter are investigated (1980 - 2016). We conduct a set of numerical simulations with a spectral wave model (WAVEWATCH III) forced by decomposed wind fields derived from the ERA-Interim reanalysis (0.7° horizontal resolution). Synoptic-scale processes (2-10 day bandpassed winds) are found to have the largest impact on the formation of wind waves in the western midlatitudes of...

The Effect of Wind Stress Anomalies and Location in Driving Pacific Subtropical Cells and Tropical Climate
The importance of subtropical and extratropical zonal wind stress anomalies on Pacific Subtropical Cells (STCs) strength is assessed through several idealized and realistic numerical experiments with a global ocean model. Different zonal wind stress anomalies are employed, and their intensity is strengthened or weakened with respect to the climatological value throughout a suite of simulations. Subtropical strengthened (weakened) zonal wind stress anomalies result in increased (decreased) STCs meridional mass and...
