Researcher for climate and/or surface mass budget modelling of the Polar regions

6 days ago

Copenhagen, Copenhagen, Denmark Klima, Energi- og Forsyningsministeriet Full time

Are you interested in working with climate models? And motivated by understanding climate change in the Arctic and Antarctic regions? Here is a great opportunity to join DMI's skilled team of climate scientists in the National Center for Climate Research.

About the job
The Danish Meteorological Institute (DMI) opens a 3-year, full time position for a climate scientist to work on climate modelling with focus on the polar regions and the climate affecting the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets. Polar research is a key research area in the National Center for Climate Research (NCKF), and our work is carried out in close collaboration with national and international partners (e.g. through EU Horizon projects such as PROTECT and PolarRES). As part of NCKF you will work in a department with a strong profile in both global and regional climate modelling, as well as remote sensing.

As our new colleague, you will work with our climate and ice sheet surface models that we employ in the Polar regions: Our regional climate model (HCLIM, HARMONIE-Climate) and/or our surface mass balance model of the ice sheets. We employ these models in many different research contexts, and also visualize the current state of the climate e.g. the polar portal webpage (polarportal.dk).

In this role, you will be designing and executing model experiments, as well as developing the model code in collaboration with colleagues at DMI and as part of international consortia. You will also work with analyses of the model outputs, lead and contribute to scientific papers and participate in developing new grant applications with the group and external collaborators. While working with the model(s) will be a core task, there will be some flexibility in deciding the weight between working with the model itself, running and analyzing experiments, and which particular topics and projects you work on.

About you
Expected qualifications:

  • A PhD degree in climate science, meteorology or related fields (e.g. physics or engineering)
  • Experience with climate modelling; preferably of the atmosphere or ice sheets (regional atmospheric modelling, numerical weather prediction, Earth system modelling, surface mass balance or ice sheet modelling)
  • Advanced programming skills (Linux/Unix and scripting languages e.g. Python, Fortran, etc.), and experience with HPC systems
  • Research experience working with polar (Arctic and/or Antarctic) climate is an advantage
  • Good communication skills in oral and written English

About the National Centre for Climate Research and DMI
The position is in the Danish National Center for Climate Research (NCKF) at DMI, which employs more than 70 climate scientists, including PhD students, junior and senior scientists. The companion Weather Research department employs researchers working with meteorology, oceanography and hydrology. We have a strong international profile, which is also reflected in the many nationalities employed and in the use of both English and Danish as working languages.

NCKF has been established with the purpose to conduct critical climate research for the Kingdom of Denmark (Denmark, Greenland and the Faroe Islands) and bring together climate knowledge, to form the basis for green transition and climate adaptation. The activities include assessments of observed and future climate change of the physical climate system, with focus on the Polar regions and on extreme weather and sea level around Denmark. Across the department, climate research builds on both global and regional modelling as well as observations from remote sensing, in-situ measurements and field work. NCKF also develops the Danish Climate Atlas (Klimaatlas) which contains detailed data about expected future changes in the climate across Denmark.

DMI is the national weather forecast and warning authority for Denmark and Greenland with more than 150 years of experience in working with weather and climate. DMI currently has approximately 380 employees, most of whom work at DMI's headquarters at Sankt Kjelds Gård in Østerbro. The building was recently renovated and has an open office layout designed for an activity-based way of working.

Employment
Employment and salary will be according to the Danish Law and Agreements, depending on previous experience. It will be possible to apply for an addition to the basic salary. Employees, who are recruited from abroad, and who are able to meet certain conditions, have a possibility for a reduced tax scheme the first 7 years. The position is limited to three years, but has the possibility of being extended or made permanent depending on e.g. future funding and tasks.

DMI offers a flexible working week of 37 hours including a paid lunch break, and six weeks of paid vacation annually. The employment area is within the Danish Ministry of Climate, Energy and Facilities and associated institutions. DMI is located at Sankt Kjelds Plads 11, 2100 Copenhagen Ø, Denmark. Physical presence is expected at least on a weekly basis.

For further details about the position, contact Head of unit, Rasmus Anker Pedersen (telephone: +45 20467938 or e-mail: ).

At DMI, diversity is an important value for us, because we believe that an inclusive and versatile work environment strengthens task fulfilment. We work actively with diversity in our employee composition, which is reflected in our inclusive workplace with a balance between work life and family life. We encourage everyone to apply for the position regardless of age, gender, sexuality, religion or ethnicity.

Application
Please send your application, including a cover letter with motivation for the application, a curriculum vitae, relevant exam papers and diplomas, possible other relevant appendices and contacts for relevant professional references, so we have it in our system by September 29 2024.

To apply for the position, please use the below link "Apply for Position", and follow the instructions.

We expect to hold interviews in the first two weeks of October. Starting date can be as soon as possible for the selected candidate.

Department: Lyngbyvej 100, København Ø

Location: Sankt Kjelds Plads 11, 2100 København Ø

Application deadline: 29 Sep 2024
