Senior Research Scientist: Climate Modeling and Dynamics

1 month ago


Copenhagen, Copenhagen, Denmark Københavns Universitet (KU) Full time

At the Niels Bohr Institute, we are seeking a highly skilled Postdoctoral Fellow to contribute to our research team focused on earth system modeling. This 18-month appointment will commence on January 1st, 2025.

The ideal candidate should possess experience in using advanced climate models, specifically the NCAR Community Earth System Model or similar IPCC models. The primary objective of this project is to investigate simulated multiple equilibria of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) under modern climate conditions. Furthermore, future transient CO2 simulations will be conducted under the same ocean model configurations used to simulate the modern climate, aiming to assess the potential for future tipping points. Guidance will be provided by Professors Guido Vetoretti and Markus Jochum.

Key responsibilities include conducting cutting-edge research, with a focus on publication and scientific communication. Additionally, pedagogical training is available as part of this role. The post may also involve other duties as assigned.

We strive for diversity in our staff and welcome applications from all qualified candidates, regardless of personal background.

This position is governed by the Memorandum on Job Structure for Academic Staff. Terms of appointment and payment align with the agreement between the Ministry of Taxation and The Danish Confederation of Professional Associations on Academics in the State.

Negotiation for salary supplements is possible.

To apply, please submit your application electronically, including:

  • A comprehensive CV
  • Diplomas (Master and PhD degree or equivalent)
  • A detailed research plan outlining current and future research objectives related to the proposed position
