Postdoctoral Fellow: Earth System Modelling and Dynamics
We seek a Postdoctoral Fellow (PDF) in the field of earth system modelling for an 18-month appointment, starting 1 January 2025.
The candidate should have experience in using the NCAR Community Earth System Model or a similar class of Intergovernmental Panel On Climate Change (IPCC) models. The central goal of the project is to investigate simulated multiple equilibria of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) under modern climate conditions. In addition to this, future transient CO2 simulations will be investigated under the same ocean model configurations used to simulate the modern climate, in order to assess the potential for future tipping points. The work will be supervised by Professors Guido Vetoretti and Markus Jochum.
The PDFs duties will primarily include research, including obligations with regard to publication/scientific communication. Pedagogical training is also available with the position. The post may also include performance of other duties.
