# Climate Scientist

British Antarctic Survey (BAS) Climate Scientist BAS 26/82 Contract type Fixed-Term Contract, 30 months Location BAS Cambridge Salary £42,688 - £46,957 per annum, pro rata Closing date 04 November 2026, 23:55 Interview date 17 November 2026 Starting date 01 February 2027 Purpose You’ll be joining our Atmosphere, Ice, & Climate (AIC) team to work on a new project Rain on Antarctic Sea Ice and Its Impacts (ROASII). This project will provide new understanding and quantification of anticipated increases in rainfall and its effect on Antarctic sea ice. Ongoing climate warming is expected to drive major changes in the Southern Ocean environment, including more frequent rainfall and air temperatures above freezing. Warmer and wetter conditions increase the likelihood of melt ponds forming on Antarctic sea ice. Melt ponds would accelerate Antarctic sea ice summer decay, impacting multiple oceanic, glaciological, and ecological systems in the Southern Hemisphere, enhancing polar amplification, and influencing global climate. Yet, there is a clear lack of understanding of, first, how rainfall will change in the future and, second, how it will impact sea ice. You’ll help us to deliver the BAS
