[ES_JOBS_NET] Researcher position in at the Bjerkness center for climate research

[Nour-Eddine Omrani]

We are advertising a  2-year researcher position at the University of 
Bergen, Norway. The position is at the Geophysical Institute of the 
university of Bergen, which is a part of the Bjerknes  Center for 
Climate Research. The position is in the field of Climate Dynamics 
including the dynamics of the stratosphere/troposphere coupled system. 
It will be within the Bjerknes Climate Prediction Unit (BCPU), which 
focuses on predicting climate in the Atlantic-to-Arctic sector from 
seasonal to multidecadal timescales.

The main aim of the position is to improve the understanding and 
modelling of the mechanisms of climate variability in the 
Atlantic-to-Arctic regions and surrounding continents. Potential topics 
of research include (1) the processes governing the local interaction 
among the stratosphere/troposphere coupled system, Atlantic Ocean and 
Arctic sea-ice, (2) the processes governing the remote teleconnection of 
the extratropical Atlantic regions to the tropics and Pacific, (3) 
impact of natural and anthropogenic radiative forcing. The focus will be 
on the season-to-multidecadal timescales. The work will involve both 
analysis of data (model, observations, and reanalysis) and performing 
climate model simulations. The candidate will mainly use the Norwegian 
Prediction Model (NorCPM) and will participate in developing and 
validating the stratosphere-resolving version of the model. There will 
be close collaboration with the developers of the Norwegian Earth System 
and Climate Prediction Models and other groups working on data 
assimilation.

The deadline for the application is 2nd March 2020. For details and
