[CRYOLIST] IARPC Public Webinar Series: An Introduction to Polar Cyberinfrastructure at the National Science Foundation

Join IARPC and the National Science Foundation for a webinar on polar cyberinfrastructure on Thursday, October 21 at 11am AKT / 3pm ET.

The term "Polar Cyberinfrastructure" can feel like esoteric jargon, can maybe be a bit of a mouthful, and can mean a lot of different things to the research community. In addition to the big facilities and fancy supercomputers, Polar CI aims to serve the full breadth of NSF-funded polar researchers. In this webinar, the NSF Polar Cyberinfrastructure Program Officer (Allen Pope) will explain what Polar CI means at NSF and introduce the core program as well as related opportunities within NSF at the intersection of polar science and computing. The webinar will also share highlights from some NSF-funded polar cyberinfrastructure projects and will finish with ample time for audience Q&A.

[CRYOLIST] PostDoc "Future projections of Arctic climate change"


The section Atmospheric Physics at the Alfred Wegener Institute (AWI) in Potsdam, Germany, invites applications for a PostDoc position available within the recently EU funded H2020 project "Polar Regions in the Earth System (PolarRES)". PolarRES is an exciting new project involving 21 research institutions from 15 different countries. International collaboration with the PolarRES partners concerning model analysis and dissemination is an integral part of this position.

Specifically, the 3-year PostDoc project at AWI is about:

Storyline-based future projections of Arctic climate change at high resolution

The climate of the Arctic is changing faster than other parts of the world because of local feedbacks and their response to regional or hemispheric-wide changes. This research position is expected to provide new insights into the response of the Arctic climate to future projected global climate change via the storyline concept. There, the regional response of the Arctic to atmospheric circulation changes will be investigated by dynamically downscaling selected storyline-based global climate model projections at spatial scales of ~10 km. The global climate model projections will be selected through the identification of physically self-consistent, plausible pathways of future circulation changes (e.g. shifts in the storm tracks).

The key tool for this work will be simulations with the atmospheric model ICON (ICOsahedral Nonhydrostatic) (https://www.dwd.de/EN/research/weatherforecasting/num_modelling/01_num_weather_prediction_modells/icon_description.html) applied as limited area model over the Arctic. The project will start with adapting the model for long-term simulations, followed by simulations of the contemporary climate. Those will be evaluated with, for example, observations from the recent Arctic MOSAiC expedition (https://mosaic-expedition.org/). Finally, storyline-based high-resolution projections for the Arctic are simulated from present-day to 2100. The ICON results will be exploited in the context of the multi-model ensemble of regionally downscaled simulations, which include ~7 models and various realizations. The detailed analysis includes particularly Arctic amplification processes.

Overall, the objectives of the work include: (i) set up storyline-based ICON simulations over an Arctic-focused domain, driven by global climate model output, (ii) perform simulations of at least two storylines from present-day to 2100, (iii) analyze the multi-model ensemble projections with a focus on atmospheric processes contributing to Arctic Amplification.

Requirements

We are looking for a motivated, curiosity-driven person, with the ability to work both independently and within a wider research team. The position requires a PhD degree in meteorology, physics, or related fields. Experience in regional climate modelling or earth-system modelling, and good knowledge in atmospheric physics and dynamics is required.  Experience in the set-up and performance of regional or global climate model simulations and affinity with numerical model development is expected. Knowledge of polar atmospheric processes is of advantage.

Strong skills in statistical data analysis and scientific programming (R, Python, Fortran, C, Matlab, or similar) are required. Excellent level of written and spoken English, and good reporting and presentation skills are expected to disseminate results on international conferences and in leading scientific journals.


Further Information

For further information please contact Dr. Annette Rinke (Annette.Rinke@awi.de).

The position is limited to 3 years. The salary will be paid in accordance with the German Tarifvertrag des öffentlichen Dienstes (TVöD Bund) with salary level 13. The place of employment will be Potsdam, Germany. The targeted starting date is the 1st January 2022.

Please forward your application by 15th October, 2021 exclusively online via https://www.awi.de/en/work-study/jobs/job-offer.html. Reference number: 21/163/D/Kli-b

Job description

The climate of the polar regions is changing and will be continue to change more in the future. These changes directly affect the local communities, but also indirectly the rest of the world by changed weather patterns, enhanced global warming and/or rising sea levels. Despite our growing understanding of the Earth's climate and increasing computer calculation power, projections are surrounded by uncertainties. We don't know how fast and to which extent humankind can reduce greenhouse gas emissions. It is also unknown, for example,  if the general circulation patterns in the Northern Hemisphere will change in a warmer with reduced sea ice; or if the Antarctic sea ice will decline in the future as virtually all GCMs predict, unlike what we have seen in the past four decades in which the Antarctic sea ice underwent no structural change. This vacancy is part of commitment of Utrecht University to the EU funded PolarRES consortium. The PolarRES consortium aims to increase our understanding of the future projected polar climate change and the subsequent societal impact.

The successful applicant will study various aspects of the complex polar atmosphere-ocean-ice system from an atmospheric perspective and derive and analyse projections of the future climate of both polar regions, using various emission pathways and climate change storylines. The core model in this project is the state-of-the-art polar regional climate model RACMO2. The job will start with optimizing the latest RACMO2 version for the PolarRES tasks, and, possibly, refining a few polar-related physical processes. Next, high-resolution simulations of the contemporary climate are derived and analysed with, among other topics, a focus on clouds. Finally, storyline-based high-resolution projections for Antarctica and the Arctic are made and analysed. During the project there is intense collaboration with other Postdocs working on PolarRES and RACMO2 research.

This position is part of PolarRES, an EU funded H2020 project, international collaboration with the PolarRES partners for model support, model analysis and dissemination is an integral part of the job.

We aim to start the job as soon as possible.

Qualifications

Our ideal candidate is driven, positive, and collaborative and has:

  • a PhD in regional climate modelling or earth-system modelling with a focus on polar atmospheric processes;
  • strong programming skills (Fortran, Python or similar);
  • thorough experience in running regional or global climate models;
  • affinity with numerical model development;
  • good reporting and presentation skills;
  • excellent level of written and spoken English; 
  • the ability to work both independently and within a wider research team;
  • the ability to critically assess your own results.

Offer

  • a full-time position for 2.5 to 3 years;
  • an inspiring and open-minded research group;
  • a job with national and international collaboration;
  • a full-time gross salary ranging from €2,836 to €4,474in scale 10;
  • benefits including 8% holiday bonus and 8.3% end-of-year bonus;
  • a pension scheme, partially paid parental leave, and flexible employment conditions based on the Collective Labour Agreement Dutch Universities (cao).
