[ES_JOBS_NET] Post-doc positions in modelling the climate impacts of carbon dioxide removal, Canada

[Kirsten Zickfeld]

We invite applications from highly motivated PhDs for two postdoctoral 
positions investigating the climate implications of carbon dioxide 
removal. The positions are part of transdisciplinary research projects 
(CanCO2Re <https://www.canco2re.ca/>and Mission Innovation 
<https://natural-resources.canada.ca/climate-change/canadas-green-future/mission-innovation/18612>) 
assessing the sustainability, equity and feasibility of carbon dioxide 
removal, with partners across Canada.

The successful candidates will be supervised jointly by Dr Kirsten 
Zickfeld at Simon Fraser University (SFU) in Metro Vancouver and Dr. 
Paul Kushner at the University of Toronto.

The successful candidates will join a dynamic research environment with 
expertise in Earth system modelling, climate dynamics and climate-carbon 
cycle interactions. The focus of the positions will be on quantifying 
the climate implications of a range of emission scenarios with different 
means and amounts of carbon dioxide removal.

Position 1: Earth system modelling of the impacts of carbon dioxide 
removal 
<https://climateresearch.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/postdoc_position_CanCO2Re_2024-1.pdf>. 
This position will be based at Simon Fraser University (SFU) 
<https://climateresearch.ca/>and will involve:

·A primary responsibility to design, execute, and analyze of Earth 
system model simulations.

·A primary responsibility to prepare scientific publications and 
disseminate research results in conferences and workshops.

·A secondary responsibility to support development of emulators to 
capture and generalize the Earth-system model simulations.

·Opportunities to engage in outreach/knowledge mobilization activities 
of the CanCO2RE project.

Position 2: Earth system model emulators to study the impacts of carbon 
dioxide removal 
<https://www.pjk.atmosp.physics.utoronto.ca/pdf-emulators-2024>. This 
position will be based at the St. George (downtown) campus of 
theUniversity of Toronto 
<https://www.pjk.atmosp.physics.utoronto.ca/>and will involve:

·A primary responsibility to develop, apply, and analyze emulators to 
capture and generalize the Earth-system model simulations supported 
under CanCO2RE.

·A secondary responsibility to design, execute, and analyze the original 
Earth system model simulations under specific scenarios.

·A primary responsibility to prepare scientific publications and 
disseminate research results in conferences and workshops.

·Opportunities to engage in outreach/knowledge mobilization activities 
of the CanCO2RE project.

Funding for both positions is available for one year, with possibility 
of renewal for one additional year. The preferred start date is January 
2025.

How to apply:

·Position 1: Earth system modelling: See here

·Position 2: Earth system model emulators: See here 
<http://www.pjk.atmosp.physics.utoronto.ca/pdf-emulators-2024>.

Evaluation of applications will start on October 21^st 2024 and will 
continue until the positions are filled.

Simon Fraser University and the University of Toronto are strongly 
committed to diversity within their communities and especially welcome 
applications from racialized persons / persons of colour, women, 
Indigenous Peoples, persons with disabilities, people of all sexual 
orientations and gender identities, and others who may contribute to the 
further diversification of ideas.
