Postdoctoral Fellows are expected to have strong computational skills, a solid publication record, a high level of independence and creativity, and an interest in working in an international and interdisciplinary research environment. Our tropical climate research team studies modes of climate variability (such as ENSO, decadal variability, Monsoon systems), global teleconnections and their sensitivities to past and future climate change. Furthermore, we are interested in the question of which sea surface temperature and precipitation patterns will emerge in response to anthropogenic forcing and the greater role of tropical climate in the Earth system.</span><span style='font-size:9.5pt'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="m-5038414237518999203gmail-m724174510841550398gmail-m-1437735772972678649gmail-m8750290309668430036gmail-msonormal"><span style='font-size:9.5pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif'>Postdoctoral fellows will receive a competitive salary, support for conference travel, access to a 1 Pflop supercomputer, as well as benefits and incentives.</span><span style='font-size:9.5pt'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="m-5038414237518999203gmail-m724174510841550398gmail-m-1437735772972678649gmail-m8750290309668430036gmail-msonormal"><span style='font-size:9.5pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif'>Employer: IBS Center for Climate Physics<br>Location: Pusan National University, Busan, South Korea<br>Education Level: PhD<br>Job type: Postdoctoral Fellow<br>Term: Full Time, 2 year, with possibility for renewal<br>Start date of positions: Summer 2018 or later</span><span style='font-size:9.5pt'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="m-5038414237518999203gmail-m724174510841550398gmail-m-1437735772972678649gmail-m8750290309668430036gmail-msonormal"><span style='font-size:9.5pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif'>ICCP is located in Busan, the second largest city in South Korea and the ninth largest port city in the world.
