the University of Bremen maintains a strong and internationally renowned
interdisciplinary research focus on oceans and the global climate. The
Institute of Geography invites applications for the following academic
position (under the condition of job release), starting September 1,
2021 (or as soon as possible thereafter), ending June 30, 2023:
Postdoctoral Researcher
salary grade EG 13 TV-L
full time position
Reference number: A65/21
The postdoc will work in the Climate Lab of the Institute of Geography
(http://www.geographie.uni-bremen.de/en/climate-geography), in the
project "Ice-Ocean Interaction of Peripheral Greenland Glaciers", funded
by the German Ministry of Research and Education (BMBF) within the
collaborative project cluster GReenland ice sheet/OCEan Interaction (see
https://groce.de/en/).
The postdoc (w/m/d) will focus on regional modelling of peripheral
glaciers in north-eastern Greenland within the framework of the Open
Global Glacier Model (see http://oggm.org), which will be forced by
regional ocean and atmospheric data sets; they will implement a
refreezing parameterization in the mass balance module of OGGM, and they
will test the sensitivity of OGGM to different boundary conditions.
Finally, they will produce projections of freshwater input into the ocean.
Close collaboration is expected with other glaciologists and
oceanographers within the project cluster, e.g., to obtain data for
calibration and validation, to distribute runoff estimates used as a
boundary condition for other models, and to ensure consistency with ice
sheet model-based mass change estimates.
To apply successfully, you will:
• have a PhD in a field of Earth science with proven, strong
mathematical/physical background, or a PhD in
physics/mathematics/informatics with previous experience in an Earth
science;
• have experience in glaciology and/or oceanography;
• have a publication record in peer-reviewed, international journals;
• have demonstrated skills in scientific programming;
• be fluent in English (equivalent to CEFR level C1).
It will be advantageous if you can demonstrate:
• working experience in a supercomputing environment;
• working experience with Python;
• proficiency in German.
Questions regarding the positon should be addressed to Ben Marzeion
