Join the research project ”Linking ice-dammed lake drainage events and ice flow - implications and impact on the surroundings” funded by the Independent Research Fund Denmark. The Department of Glaciology and Climate at the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland (GEUS) is hiring a Postdoc with expertise in glaciology and remote sensing for a period of 2 years (24 months) commencing as soon as possible.The project addresses ice-dammed lakes in Greenland and the interplay between lake drainage events and ice flow and changes in ice configuration, including what is the role of the damming ice. We aim to determine and isolate individual processes through site-specific field observations and large scale, multi-sensor, multi-decadal datasets covering the entire Greenland ice sheet and local ice bodies.The postdoc will undertake site-specific glaciologic analysis from GNSS-data and other observations and moreover, develop large-scale, multi-site time series of ice flow and changes in ice configuration from various remote sensing data.The appointment will be made based on academic qualifications. The candidate must hold a PhD degree in Natural Sciences (e.g. Geosciences, Geography, Geodesy, Geophysics) and have documented experience working with glaciology, remote sensing observations, and basic geoscience analysis. It would be an advantage if the candidate has experience working with statistical techniques for large scale datasets and GNSS data but not a requirement.Proficiency in English is required, and organization and communication skills are important. Engagement in the project and interest in cross-collaborative methods and understanding is expected.The Department of Glaciology and Climate study both the current and past changes of the Greenland ice sheet and the ocean surrounding it. Past changes (last 150,000 years) in the ice sheet, ocean, and biological systems are studied using marine sediment cores applying a broad variety of proxy methods. The current loss of ice from Greenland is studied using a network of climate stations, satellite observations, and modeling. Besides doing research, we provide advice to government agencies and the private sector and provide supervision to university students.The department has an international staff of c. 30 researchers, PhD students, and postdocs.
