[ES_JOBS_NET] multiple postdoc positions in coupled ice-sheet climate modelling available at the MPI-Met

[Clemens Schannwell]

Dear All,

we are advertising multiple positions at the postdoc or research 
scientist level at the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology in Hamburg. 
The positions are within the TerraDT project in which the ice-sheet 
model Elmer/Ice will be coupled into our km-scale Earth-system model 
ICON. Please feel free to forward this email to potential candidates. If 
you have any questions regarding the positions, feel free to contact 
Hauke Schmidt (hauke.schmidt at mpimet.mpg.de) or Clemens Schannwell 
(clemens.schannwell at mpimet.mpg.de).

Offical job offer below.

Best wishes,

Clemens


The Max Planck Institute for Meteorology (MPI-M) is a multidisciplinary 
center for climate and Earth system research located in Hamburg, 
Germany. It is one of the premier climate science research institutes in 
the world. Located in the heart of one of Europe’s most livable and 
vibrant cities, it provides a highly international and interdisciplinary 
environment to conduct scientific research as well as access to 
state-of-the-art scientific facilities. You can also have a *virtual 
tour to our campus <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kX2taTz_zP8>*.

*THE POSITION*

We are now opening *three positions* for up to 4 years

*Postdoctoral or Research Scientist | Scientific Programmer (W-0030 | 
all genders)*

**

The successful applicants will join a team of scientists implementing an 
ice-sheet model into the next generation km-scale Earth-system model 
ICON with the aim of better understanding atmosphere-ocean-ice sheet 
interactions that contribute to present-day sea-level rise and 
high-latitude climate change. The research is part of TerraDT, a project 
within the European Commission’s Horizon Europe research infrastructure 
programme. TerraDT aims at improving the descriptions of Earth system 
components in the Destination Earth (DestinE) climate models. The 
positions include coupling of an ice-sheet with ICON, and conducting and 
analyzing simulations with the model at different stages of the model 
development. Tasks within the project will be distributed among the 
chosen candidates depending on their qualifications and interests.
