Center for Ice and Climate is offering a postdoc position in modelling of abrupt climate change.

We are offering a 2-year postdoc position for a candidate with a PhD degree in geophysics, physics, or related disciplines. The position is available from August 1st, 2020, and is jointly funded by the ChronoClimate and TiPES projects. ChronoClimate, funded by the Carlsberg Foundation, will provide new knowledge on the chronologies of palaeoclimate records and mechanisms of abrupt climate changes of the past (https://tinyurl.com/y95dcfdq). The EU-funded H2020 project “Tipping Points of the Earth System” (TiPES, https://www.tipes.dk/) focuses on the subsystems of Earth that may respond abruptly at critical future levels of anthropogenic forcing, which have been associated with tipping points, and combines paleoclimatology, time-series analysis, Earth-system modelling of past and future climates, applied mathematics and dynamical system theory, as well as decision theory.

The successful candidate will work within an international research team at the Centre for Ice and Climate which is part of the Section for the Physics of Ice, Climate, and Earth at the Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen, Denmark. For more information on the section's activities and researchers, please see https://www.nbi.ku.dk/english/research/pice/.

Job description

Applicants should provide details in the application about which projects and which methodology they intend to pursue. The projects must contribute to the understanding of the mechanisms of abrupt climate change and tipping points in the past and/or the future. The application should contain information about which model data are available to work on to the candidate already from the beginning, and/or describe the strategy for obtaining relevant climate modelling data.

Terms of salary, work, and employment

The position is available from August 1st, 2020. The position is covered by the Memorandum on Job Structure for Academic Staff. Terms of appointment and payment accord to the agreement between the Ministry of Finance and The Danish Confederation of Professional Associations on Academics in the State.

The application, in English, must be submitted electronically by clicking APPLY NOW below.

Please include:

  • A cover letter. Please include 1-3 reference letters
  • A one-page research plan describing which projects and which methodology you intend to pursue. Describe for each project, which model data you already have access to from the beginning, and/or describe the strategy for obtaining relevant climate modelling data during the project period and (include model name/type and estimate the necessary computing resources).
  • CV (including full publication list)
  • Diplomas (Master and PhD degrees or equivalent)
  • Reprints of 1-3 particularly relevant papers

We wish that our staff reflects the diversity of society and thus welcome applications from all qualified candidates regardless of personal background.
