We are happy to announce that yet another PhD position is available within the ice2ice project.

The candidate will work within the fields of global climate modeling. The focus will be on Arctic interactions between atmosphere, sea ice, and ocean and their possible control on the Greenland Ice Sheet. Both present-day, palaeoclimatic and future climate states will be central to the work. The work will contribute to further development of the EC-Earth state-of-the-art Earth System Model. In particular, the aim is to study the role of changes in sea-ice conditions as a controlling mechanism for the state of the Greenland Ice Sheet.

The successful applicant will be enrolled at the University of Copenhagen and take part in scientific activities both at the Centre for Ice and Climate and DMI. In addition to working on the research project, publications, and PhD thesis, the candidate must take PhD courses, participate in congresses, and participate in teaching and dissemination activities. The position involves a stay at an external research institution for a few months, preferably abroad.

The ideal candidate has experience with climate dynamics and modelling (preferably global climate modelling or modelling sea-ice–ocean–atmosphere interactions). Experience with programming in FORTRAN/UNIX and knowledge about HPC computing is also a large advantage.

More information on the position and how to apply is available here.

The deadline for application is October 1st.
