[ES_JOBS_NET] Postdoc, Arctic Ocean Modelling, Stockholm University

[Agatha de Boer]

Hi,

We are seeking a postdoctoral fellow to investigate the mechanisms that 
control the influx of Atlantic Water and its subsequent journey through 
the Arctic Ocean. A main goal is to deepen our understanding of Atlantic 
Water features at the marine-terminating glaciers on the North Greenland 
margin, and how this may vary with a changing climate.

We seek candidates with a strong background in physical oceanography, 
climate modelling (paleo or other), geoscience, physics or applied 
mathematics with an interest Artic physical oceanography. Proven 
experience in climate modelling, especially ocean modelling, is highly 
desirable.  An interest in big-picture climate questions across time 
scales is an advantage and experience with the EC-Earth model would be 
an additional merit. Likewise, it is meriting to have documented 
experience in using High Performance Computing infrastructure.

This postdoctoral position is initially for two years and it part of a 
large project funded by the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation, called 
THAWING, which explores the critical role that changes in the properties 
and pathways of Atlantic Water reaching North Greenland play in the 
near-term stability as well as the long-term evolution of the North 
Greenland Ice Sheet, its marine cryosphere and sea-ice ecosystems. As 
such, the project involves collaboration with other postdoctoral 
scientists, PhD students, and faculty within the Department of 
Geological Sciences and other scientists in the Bolin Centre for Climate 
Research at Stockholm University. This initiative provides a unique 
opportunity for you to engage with a broad multi-disciplinary network 
and apply a variety of analysis methods to state of the art ocean and 
climate models to contribute to our understanding of the vulnerability 
of the Arctic ocean.

The deadline is *15 May 2025* and the application requires submission of 
a CV, short research plan, publications, and contact details of 2-3 
references. For details and how to apply, please see:
