The National Centre for Climate Research (NCKF) at the Danish Meteorological Institute (DMI) opens a permanent, full time position for a scientist to work with Arctic Ocean and sea ice modelling with focus on the waters around Greenland. In collaboration with colleagues, you will be developing and applying a coupled ocean and sea ice model system based on HYCOM (Hybrid Coordinate Ocean Model; https://www.hycom.org/) and CICE (Consortium Model for Sea-Ice Development; https://github.com/CICE-Consortium/About-Us/wiki) covering the Arctic and North Atlantic. In addition, DMI develops and apply sub-kilometer scale ocean models for selected fjord systems in Greenland and has a long tradition of including novel remotely sensed data sets for assimilation and validation in its model systems.

The HYCOM-CICE model system at DMI is used mainly for:

  • Operational support to Greenland authorities and to support the DMI Greenland Ice Service
  • Production and developments of long term high resolution reanalysis
  • Integration of observational data and process understanding of the physical environment and climate trends

At DMI, within the NCKF Unit for Global Climate, you will be part of the Arctic Ocean modelling group and work in close collaboration with a number of dedicated and highly qualified colleagues. The group has close collaboration with a number of external partners through participation in, e.g., the Copernicus Arctic Ocean Marine Forecasting Centre, the CICE consortium and in various mainly ESA and EU funded projects.

Main working tasks
  • Develop, calibrate and validate HYCOM-CICE from pan Arctic to fjord scale.
  • Increase process understanding with particular focus on sea ice and snow data-assimilation techniques and applications.
  • Participate in on-going research projects.
  • Participate in application writing and project development.
  • Write peer reviewed research articles.

Expected qualifications
  • MSc or PhD degree in ocean science, geosciences, engineering or related areas of physics.
  • Experience with ocean and sea ice modeling.
  • Experience with HYCOM, CICE and the data-assimilation framework PDAF (https://pdaf.awi.de/trac/wiki) is an advantage.
  • Experience with developing and maintaining large scientific codes, version control and good programming and scripting skills (e.g., Linux/Unix, Fortran, C, Python scripting, bash/tsch).
  • Experience with HPC systems.
  • Good communication skills in oral and written English.
  • Initiative and ability to work collaboratively and interact with other team members

NCKF conducts climate and operational research for the Kingdom of Denmark (Denmark, Greenland and the Faroe Islands) and bring together knowledge to form the basis for safety at sea, green transition and climate adaptation. The activities include assessments of recent, present and future climate, short term forecast and analysis of the physical climate system with focus on the Arctic, Greenland. The research carried out in the department is based on both global and regional modelling as well as observations from remote sensing, in-situ measurements and fieldwork.

NCKF employs approximately 60 staff members - most of whom are researches including PhD students, junior and senior scientists. The department also includes a number of project managers, administrative staff and generalists who work in close collaborate with colleagues in the other DMI departments. NCKF has a strong international profile, which is also reflected in the many nationalities employed and in the use of both English and Danish as working languages.
