Postdoctoral Researcher in Earth System Modelling and Dynamics

2 months ago


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

We are seeking a highly skilled Postdoctoral Fellow to join our research team in the field of earth system modelling. The successful candidate will have experience in using the NCAR Community Earth System Model or a similar class of Intergovernmental Panel On Climate Change (IPCC) models.

The primary goal of the project is to investigate simulated multiple equilibria of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) under modern climate conditions. Additionally, future transient CO2 simulations will be investigated under the same ocean model configurations used to simulate the modern climate, in order to assess the potential for future tipping points.

The Postdoctoral Fellow will be responsible for conducting research, including obligations with regard to publication/scientific communication. Pedagogical training is also available with the position. The post may also include performance of other duties.

The University of Copenhagen values diversity and welcomes applications from all qualified candidates regardless of personal background.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Conduct research in earth system modelling using the NCAR Community Earth System Model or a similar class of IPCC models
  • Investigate simulated multiple equilibria of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) under modern climate conditions
  • Assess the potential for future tipping points through future transient CO2 simulations
  • Contribute to publication/scientific communication
  • Participate in pedagogical training

Requirements:

  • Experience in using the NCAR Community Earth System Model or a similar class of IPCC models
  • Strong research skills and ability to conduct independent research
  • Excellent communication and teamwork skills
  • Ability to work in a dynamic and international environment

Working Conditions:

  • Full-time position
  • 18-month appointment
  • Starting date: 1 January 2025

How to Apply:

Applications must be submitted electronically by clicking the APPLY NOW button below. Please include:

  • Curriculum vitae
  • Diplomas (Master and PhD degree or equivalent)
  • Research plan – description of current and future research plans relating to the proposed position
  • Formal pedagogical training (If any)
  • Complete publication list
  • Separate reprints of 2 particularly relevant papers

The deadline for applications is 20 September 2024, 23:59 GMT +2. After the expiry of the deadline for applications, the authorized recruitment manager selects applicants for assessment on the advice of the Interview Committee.
