If you are interested in applying complexity science to the Earth system and beyond, backed by a huge storehouse of data and field scientists, check this out. You have a lot of scientific freedom at BAS and we have an excellent and active group with a lot of interests. Plus, you would get to work with cool people like me. If you have any questions about BAS or this position then feel free to write me.
