<br>
What were the relative impacts of changing deglacial meltwater fluxes<br>
and changing ice sheet geometry on atmospheric and ocean circulation?<br>
How did sea-ice respond and in turn feedback on the rest of the<br>
climate system? What actually happens to a deglacial meltwater plume<br>
as it propagates past coastal fjords and through turbulent boundary<br>
currents? And how can we better represent these processes in coarse<br>
resolution GCMs? We are seeking a Post Doctoral Fellow (PDF) to<br>
investigate these questions as part of a large collaborative project.<br>
<br>
The PDF will initially be based in the glacial dynamics group at MUN (Memorial University of Newfoundland, St. John's). He/she will have extended visits with ArcTrain-Canada (<a href="http://www.arctrain.ca" target="_blank">www.arctrain.ca</a>) co-supervisors at the University of Alberta (Edmonton, high resolution ocean modelling) and the UQAM (Montreal, comparison of model output to paleo-oceanographic records).<br>
<br>
Applications are invited from creative self-motivated candidates with a deep interest in Earth systems modelling/science. Applicants must have completed a PhD in physics, meteorology, physical oceanography, or closely related areas by the start of PDF. Applicants must also be interested in working in a collaborative environment on computationally intensive projects. Required qualifications:<br>
- published record in ocean, atmosphere, and/or climate system modelling<br>
with GCMs (preferably the CESM)<br>
- Solid understanding of geophysical fluid dynamics and atmospheric/ocean physics<br>
- Detailed knowledge of data analysis methodologies for climate models<br>
- Experience in using FORTRAN or C, and analysis packages such as<br>
OCTAVE/MATLAB or R<br>
- Experience with Linux/Unix systems, including the writing of shell scripts<br>
<br>
Term: 2 years<br>
Start date: January, 2015 (or soon thereafter...)<br>
<br>
Computational resources are second to none: The Glacial Dynamics group<br>
at MUN has a dedicated 540 core cluster (to be upgraded to over 1000<br>
cores in 2015) and access to further computational resources<br>
through ACEnet and SciNet.<br>
<br>
<br>
Associated benefit: the spectacular natural environment of<br>
Newfoundland, Canada<br>
<br>
<br>
Interested candidates should contact Lev Tarasov (<a href="mailto:lev@mun.ca" target="_blank">lev@mun.ca</a>). Please<br>
include a full CV, contact information for references, and a statement<br>
of interest.<br>
<br>
Initial consideration will be given to applications received prior to Nov 30/14. Thereafter, applications will be reviewed on an as-needed basis.<br>
