[KirstenZickfeld]

The Climate Research Lab at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver, 
Canada, led by Prof. Kirsten Zickfeld, is seeking to fill a post-doc 
position in Earth system modelling of nature-based climate solutions 
<https://climateresearch.ca/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Postdoc_ad_NBCS_2022.pdf>.

We invite applications from highly motivated PhDs with an interest in 
policy-relevant climate science and public outreach. The successful 
applicant will be part of a research project investigating the climate 
implications of nature-based climate solutions. The position will involve:

•    Design, execution and analysis of Earth system model simulations
•    Preparation of scientific publications
•    Knowledge mobilization

The successful applicant will work under the supervision of Dr. Kirsten 
Zickfeld, in collaboration with Dr. H. Damon Matthews at Concordia 
University, and Dr. Andrew MacDougall at St Francis Xavier University. 
Profs. Zickfeld, Matthews and MacDougall lead dynamic research groups 
with extensive expertise in Earth system modelling and climate-carbon 
cycle interactions, and have successfully collaborated for several years.

Funding is available for one year, with possibility of renewal for one 
additional year. The preferred start date is 1st October 2022.

Candidates with a PhD degree (or international equivalent) in climate 
science, atmospheric science, oceanography, physical geography, 
environmental science or related disciplines are invited to apply. 
Strong quantitative and computational skills, demonstrated ability to 
publish work in peer-reviewed journals, ability to work independently 
and excellent oral and written communication skills are required. 
Experience running an Earth system model of full or intermediate 
complexity is strongly desirable, as is experience working within a 
stakeholder-engaged research environment.

1-page cover letter summarizing qualifications and experience relevant 
to the advertised position, 2) a CV listing education, past employment, 
research contributions including a publication list and contact 
information of two academic references, and 3) a 2-page research 
statement outlining research interests related to the advertised 
position to Dr. Kirsten Zickfeld (kzickfel at sfu.ca).

Evaluation of applications will start on August 22nd 2022 and will
