<div class="textarea ng-binding" data-ng-bind-html="component.text">
<p>A two-year postdoctoral fellowship/researcher position (with a possibility for extension) is available for the research topic “Assessment of climate change impacts on marine biogeochemistry using Earth system models” at the biogeochemistry group of NORCE
Climate and the Bjerknes Centre for Climate Research. NORCE Climate conducts basic and applied research on the climate system, on anthropogenic climate change and its impact on societies, and on the feasibility of climate change mitigation options. NORCE Climate
is one of the four partners of the Bjerknes Centre for Climate Research, which is the largest climate research centre in the Scandinavian countries and among the leading centres in Europe. Our biogeochemistry group works on quantifying the global cycles of
carbon and related elements, on better constraining future projections of these cycles, and on sustainable mitigation options.</p>
<p>We offer an exciting job-opportunity in the field of marine biogeochemistry and Earth system modelling. You will analyze the ensemble of CMIP5/6 Earth system models with the aim to evaluate these models based on observable quantities. The final goal is to
constrain future projections of the CMIP ensemble to support climate change risk assessments (e.g. future IPCC assessments). This is an exciting and challenging area of science, and we are looking for a motivated, curiosity-driven person, preferably with experience
in analyzing Earth system model projections. You will have the opportunity to utilize “big data” approaches and collaborate with experts in this field.</p>
<p>The position is funded through the EU H2020 project COMFORT and the Norwegian Research Council project COLUMBIA. Although the position is formally announced as a Postdoc position, we also encourage more senior researchers to apply. We will try to make an
attractive offer based on your experience. You will be affiliated with the Bjerknes Centre for Climate Research, and you will work in a lively and international research environment.</p>
