Postdoctoral Research Fellowship or Researcher position in permafrost 
and Earth system modeling

A 2-year postdoctoral researcher position in land surface modeling is 
available at Uni Research Climate in Bergen, Norway, with the 
possibility of being extended. More experienced candidates will be 
considered for a researcher position. The focus will be to improve our 
understandings on permafrost carbon climate feedbacks using the coupled 
framework of the state-of-the-art Norwegian Earth System Model (NorESM). 
Main duties include implementing and improving permafrost related 
processes in the land model for a more realistic representation of 
permafrost in global as well as regional climate models. The candidate 
will be responsible for the Community Land Model (CLM) simulations in 
the framework of NorESM, CLM development and permafrost representation 
in close interaction with field scientists, WRF modelers, and global 
Earth system modelers. The model development will focus on subgrid 
representation for other permafrost processes in the CLM, particularly 
on the landscape development in areas with ice-rich ground, including 
thermokarst formation and ground subsidence to ultimately understand the 
effects of thawing permafrost on future climate. In addition to 
permafrost model development, the candidate will contribute to the 
upcoming Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6) 
activities with the NorESM and its evaluation.
