2 Postdoctoral Fellow Positions in Climate Change Science at ICCP

There are two openings for postdoctoral fellows at IBS Center for 
Climate Physics to work with Dr. Christian Franzke on the dynamical 
response of the atmosphere to global warming, modeling of extreme 
weather and climate events and how they will change in a warmer world, 
and the estimation and modeling of socio-economic damages due to weather 
and climate extreme events and global warming. The successful candidates 
will carry out and analyze CESM simulations, analyze data sets using 
modern statistical and machine learning methods, and will develop new 
numerical models.

     • Employer: IBS Center for Climate Physics
     • Location: Pusan National University, Busan, South Korea
     • Education Level: PhD
     • Job type: Postdoctoral Fellow
     • Salary: 50-60 million KRW/year
     • Term: Full Time, 2 years, with possibility for renewal

Applicants for these positions should have a PhD in climate sciences, 
meteorology, oceanography, physics, mathematics or a related field. 
Postdoctoral Fellows are expected to have strong computational skills, 
the ability to work independently and also in a team, a high level of 
curiosity and creativity, an interest in working in an international and 
interdisciplinary research environment, and to be excited to work on new 
and interdisciplinary research subjects. We especially encourage female 
scientists to apply.

The IBS Center for Climate Physics (ICCP; http://iccp.ibs.re.kr) 
directed by Dr. Axel Timmermann, is dedicated to advancing the 
understanding of natural climate variability, man-made climate change 
and their impacts on the hydrological cycle, regional processes, 
ice-sheets, and sea level. The ICCP is generously funded through the 
Institute for Basic Science (IBS) (http://ibs.re.kr). ICCP is located in 
Busan, the second largest city in South Korea and the ninth largest port 
city in the world. Surrounded by the ocean and mountains, the city has a 
dramatic natural background. From designer cafes, international movie 
and art festivals, award-winning restaurants to temples at the end of 
hiking trails, Busan has something to offer for everyone.

Please submit a cover letter, a 1-page statement of your research 
interests, a curriculum vitae, the names and contact information of 2 
references, and a list of up to three representative publications to Ms. 
Jenny Choi (hahadaye at pusan.ac.kr). If you have any further questions 
regarding these positions, please contact Christian Franzke 
(christian.franzke at gmail.com). Review of applications will start 18th 
October 2020 but the positions remain open until filled.
