<p class="gmail-lead">The British Antarctic Survey is currently
looking for an Ice-Ocean Modeller to join the Ice Dynamics and
Palaeo-climate Team. The successful candidate will be an experienced Ice
Ocean Modeller with an excellent academic profile including a strong
mathematical background and a track record of running ocean models on
high-performance computing facilities and interpreting the results.</p>
<h3 class="gmail-margin-top-none">Purpose</h3>
<p>The successful candidate will have to demonstrate that they have
previously been involved in developing numerical ice-flow models and run
the model.</p>
<p>To run a regional ice flow model (Ua) of Ronne-Filchner ice shelf and
all tributaries and to couple this model with an ocean model (MITgcm).
Forecast the contribution of the area to global sea level change on a
time scale of centuries.</p>
<h3 class="gmail-margin-top-none">Qualification</h3>
<p>First degree in physical science/mathematics plus PhD (or equivalent)</p>
<h3 class="gmail-margin-top-none">Duties</h3>
<p>– Set up and develop a regional ice flow model. Invert for model parameters such as basal slipperiness and englacial viscosity.<br>
– Carry out simulations with the numerical ice-flow model in support of the objectives of the Ua-MITgcm projects.<br>
– Test sensitivity of model to melt around the grounding line, and
determine the length-scales of horizontal stress transmission across
grounding lines.<br>
– Couple the ice-flow model with an ocean plume model and test and
develop the plume model by comparing calculated melt rates with new
estimates of ocean-induced ice-shelf melting.<br>
– Run a fully coupled ice-ocean model of Ronne-Filchner ice shelf using
the ice flow model Úa and the ocean circulation model MITgcm.<br>
– Attend project meetings to report on progress and share results.<br>
– Present model developments and scientific results in the peer-reviewed literature and at conferences.</p>
