permafrost; some examples include subgrid representation of other
permafrost processes in the CLM, particularly on the landscape
development in areas with ice-rich ground, including thermokarst
formation and ground subsidence or snow permafrost feedback to
ultimately understand the effects of thawing permafrost on future
climate.</p>

equivalent in the discipline of either mathematics, physics, or
geosciences with a strong background in ESM particularly on the
representation of surface energy balance, snow cover, permafrost,
hydrology, biogeochemistry, and/or glacier mass balance.
Furthermore, the candidate must present evidence that she/he is
capable of programming enough to modifying the model source code
to facilitate improvements of the model physics. The candidate
should have experience with Earth System Model structure,
particularly previous experience with CLM is most beneficial. The
candidate should further have experience with evaluation of model
results using field observations and have knowledge in
high-latitude environments.</p>
