I have a position vacant for a PostDoc in the meteorology group at the Geophysical Institute at the University of Bergen.
I would greatly appreciate if you could share this information widely with potential candidates.
We are looking for a highly motivated postdoctoral fellow interested in studying Arctic polar lows within the research project "High Impact Weather in the Arctic" (HIMWARC). HIMWARC aims to extend our fundamental knowledge and concomitantly restrain present levels of uncertainty with respect to future changes of high impact weather in the Arctic. The postdoctoral position is a fixed-term post, the chief objective being to qualify the selected candidate for work in senior positions in their disciplines. The term of employment for this position is 2.5 years.
The scientific focus for the position will be on the formation, frequency and occurrence of Arctic meso-scale cyclones, often referred to as polar lows. HIMWARC seeks to gain further understanding of the dynamical processes involved in the genesis of these phenomena and aims to extend and unify existing theories. The dynamical findings are used to define and revise detection routines for polar lows. Based on these novel detection routines climatologies of present and future polar low distribution and frequency will be established, utilizing reanalysis and high-resolution climate projection data, respectively.
