The work will use E3SM’s ice sheet component, the mature MPAS-Albany Land Ice (MALI) modeling framework (<a href="https://www.geosci-model-dev.net/11/3747/2018/gmd-11-3747-2018.html" target="_blank">https://www.geosci-model-dev.net/11/3747/2018/gmd-11-3747-2018.html</a>), which is also being applied to sea level projections from Antarctica. Work will focus on the development of MALI applied to Greenland and its coupling within E3SM (including surface mass balance calculated within E3SM’s land model component). Additionally, the position may include analysis and publication on both stand-alone and coupled ice sheet simulations, application of new optimization and initialization methods, and the application of new model physics (e.g. subglacial hydrology and iceberg calving). The long-term goal for the position will be projections of sea level change from the Greenland Ice Sheet calculated within the coupled E3SM Earth system model and analysis of ice sheet interactions with other components of the climate system. We expect that the successful candidate will help to define specific science goals that are compatible with these broader requirements.<br><br><i>What You Need</i>:<br><i>Minimum Job Requirements</i>:<br>* Knowledge of computational ice sheet and/or climate modeling;<br>* Expertise in shell scripting and/or data-analysis languages (e.g. Python, Matlab, bash);<br>* The ability to work in a highly collaborative team setting.<br><br><i>Desired Skills</i>:<br>* Experience in construction and application of ice sheet and/or climate models;<br>* Experience in high-latitude, coupled climate modeling and analysis;<br>* Expertise in computer programming in languages compatible with high-performance computing (e.g. Fortran90, C, C++);<br>* He/she will have also demonstrated scientific excellence as evidenced by submission and publication of authored publications in refereed journals, the ability to create or improve numerical models, and the ability to analyze and interpret ice sheet and/or climate model simulation data.<br><br><i>Keywords</i>: ice sheets, ice sheet modeling, climate, climate modeling, global climate models, high-latitude climate dynamics, climate model coupling, sea-level change<br><br><i>Education</i>: A Ph.D. in geophysical-fluid modeling, climate modeling, physical glaciology, physics, applied mathematics, or a closely related field.<br><br><i>Notes to Applicants</i>: In addition to applying through the LANL jobs system, please send a curriculum vitae, digitized copies of transcripts, names of three references, and a cover letter detailing qualifications and research interests to Matthew Hoffman at <a href="mailto:mhoffman@lanl.gov" target="_blank">mhoffman@lanl.gov</a>. Please include “E3SM Greenland Postdoc” in the email subject line. Applications will be reviewed as received with the intent of filling the position winter of 2018 and a start date soon after.<br><br><i>Additional Details</i>:<br>New-Employment Drug Test: The Laboratory requires successful applicants to complete a new-employment drug test and maintains a substance abuse policy that includes random drug testing.<br>Candidates may be considered for a Director's Postdoc Fellowship and outstanding candidates may be considered for the prestigious Richard P.
