Description

The British Antarctic Survey (BAS) offers the opportunity for suitably qualified persons to join multi-disciplinary teams at Halley (76°S, 26°W) station in Antarctica. This is science with a difference. As part of a small, highly motivated team, the successful candidate will be spending a year in the Antarctic. Life here is like nowhere else, so you must be ready to take on all the challenges that it offers. With the unparalleled beauty of the Antarctic, you will find this a profitable experience in more ways than one. The primary role of the successful candidate will be to make observations and to maintain and operate a suite of scientific instruments for studying the atmosphere and also to carry out quality assurance on the resulting environmental data.

Qualifications: A degree or HND in physics, chemistry, geophysics, meteorology, electronic engineering or a related subject. Experience of using atmospheric chemistry instruments would be an advantage. An ability to solve problems and to be flexible are also key characteristics of the job.

Duration: 18 Months Fixed Term Appointment.

Salary: Salary: £23,937 per annum initially. Additionally, upon completion of a successful tour, you will receive a 10% bonus. BAS provides all training required, outdoor and work clothing, tools, and accommodation (whilst in the Antarctic).
