Type: Full time

Level: Experienced

Open until: 30 March 2025

Posted on: 14 March 2025

Are you interested in working with climate and ice sheet 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 researchers at the National Center for Climate Research.

The Danish Meteorological Institute (DMI) opens a 3 year, full-time position for a scientist to work on climate modeling with a focus on the polar regions and how the climate affects the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets and vice versa.

About the job

As our new colleague, you will work with our earth system model containing ice sheets in both hemispheres as interacting components: our comprehensive global earth system model EC-Earth, the Parallel Ice Sheet Model (PISM), and our surface mass balance model CISSEMBEL. You will be designing and executing model experiments and developing and improving the model code and climate-ice sheet coupling in collaboration with colleagues at DMI and as part of international consortia. You will also work with analyses of the modeled climate outputs, lead and contribute to scientific papers, and participate in developing new grant applications with the group and external collaborators.

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 modeling, as well as remote sensing. The position in the framework of the Horizon Europe project "LIQUIDICE" collaborates with sister projects "ICELINK" and "CRYOSCOPE."

About you

We are looking for a candidate with the following qualifications and experience:

  • A PhD degree in climate science, meteorology, oceanography, glaciology, or related fields (e.g., physics or engineering)
  • Experience with modeling, preferably of the ocean, atmosphere, or ice sheets (e.g. global or regional atmospheric or ocean modeling, numerical weather prediction, Earth system modeling, surface mass balance or ice sheet modeling)
  • Advanced programming skills (under Linux/Unix, scripting languages, e.g. Python or bash, high-level languages, e.g. Fortran or C++, etc.) and experience with HPC systems
  • Research experience working with polar (Arctic or Antarctic) climate is an advantage
  • Good communication skills in oral and written English
About the National Centre for Climate Research

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.

About DMI

DMI is part of the Ministry of Climate, Energy and Utilities. DMI is the government's climate science advisor, creating and communicating knowledge about weather, climate, and the sea to the Danish Realm. DMI's warnings, weather forecasts, and services safeguard life and infrastructure and provide a basis for planning in a changing climate.

Employment and Salary

Will be according to the Danish Law and Agreements. It will be possible to apply for an addition to the basic salary. DMI offers a flexible working week of 37 hours including a paid lunch break, and six weeks of paid vacation annually. If you come from abroad, there is a possibility for a reduced tax scheme the first 7 years.

Application

Send your motivated cover letter and a curriculum vitae, so we have it no later than Sunday the 30th of March. We expect to conduct interviews during weeks 14-15. The invitation will be sent via email.

Please use the below link "Apply for Position," and follow the instructions. Starting date is as soon as possible.
