<span style="font-size:14px"><b><span style="font-family:Calibri">Job description</span></b><span style="font-family:Calibri"><u></u><u></u></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Calibri">The PhD candidate will investigate
future interactions between the Greenland ice sheet (GrIS) and the climate system with the Community Earth System Model (CESM,
<a href="http://www2.cesm.ucar.edu" target="_blank">www2.cesm.ucar.edu</a>) coupled to the Community Ice Sheet Model version 2 (CISM2,
<a href="http://oceans11.lanl.gov/cism/index.html" target="_blank">http://oceans11.lanl.gov/cism/<wbr>index.html</a>). CESM is a global climate model capable of realistic simulation of GrIS surface melt and refreezing. CISM is an ice sheet model that simulates the topography,
velocity field and thermal state of ice sheets.</span><span style="font-family:Calibri"><u></u><u></u></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Calibri">Including ice sheets as interactive
components of global climate model is a young and promising field of research. This project is timely as the GrIS is currently losing mass at an accelerated rate and its contribution to future sea level rise is one major impact of anthropogenic climate change.
This project will participate in the international Ice Sheet Model Intercomparison Project 6 (ISMIP6).</span><span style="font-family:Calibri"><u></u><u></u></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Calibri">The PhD candidate will design
and perform simulations with the ice sheet and climate models, will modify the code where appropriate for specific research targets, and will analyze model output and available observations. He/she will evaluate the sensitivity of the GrIS to atmospheric and/or
ocean forcing, will quantify the role of feedbacks in accelerating/decelerating GrIS mass loss, and will contribute to assess the timing and climatic impacts of Greenland deglaciation.</span><span style="font-family:Calibri"><u></u><u></u></span></span></p>
