In the framework of EU Project "PROjecTing sEa-level rise: from iCe sheets to local implicaTions (PROTECT)", we investigate the future contribution of the Antarctic Ice Sheet to global sea-level rise. We pursue the implementation of a coupled ice sheet – ice shelf – ocean model based on our Finite Element Sea-ice Ocean Model (FESOM) and the ice flow model Úa. To join an international team, AWI section „Physical Oceanography of the Polar Seas“ opens a position for an experienced ice/ocean modeller (m/f/d).
Tasks
- coupling of an existing global FESOM configuration to the ice flow model Úa
- model-based analysis of the governing processes
- projections for the Antarctic contribution to future sea-level rise
Requirements
- PhD in physical oceanography, physics, or a related field
- excellent knowledge of the physical oceanography of the Southern Ocean, including ice shelf-ocean interaction
- good knowledge of Antarctic Ice Sheet glaciology
- experience in implementation and analysis of numerical models
We offer a 24-month position starting from 1st September 2020.
The full announcement can be found on AWI's website, and deadline is 07. July already! (I am sorry, I didn't mean to make it that short....)
