The Opportunity

The Centre provides a dynamic environment for researchers, students, and staff to grow their careers and contribute to evidence-based decision-making for future weather challenges.

The Research Fellow will also design experiments, operate advanced research equipment, and participate in meetings and committees.
To succeed in this role, the appointee must have a doctoral qualification in meteorology or a related field, strong analytical, manuscript preparation, and problem-solving skills.
