The Institute for Marine and Atmospheric Research at Utrecht University invites applications for 3 Postdoctoral Researchers in the field of climate dynamics and earth system modelling.
About the positions:
- The successful candidates will be part of the EU-funded H2020 project “Tipping Points of the Earth System” (TiPES), funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme
- The successful candidates will work on (1) earth system modelling of palaeoclimate, (2) theoretical concepts for climate sensitivity and (3) tipping in stochastic climate models.
- Postdoc 1 will be part of work package WP2 of the TiPES project, which focusses on stability in past warm climates.
- Postdoc 2 will be part of work package WP4 of the TiPES project, which focusses on developing theory for climate response and climate sensitivity.
- Postdoc 3 will be part of work package WP5 of the TiPES project, which focusses on theoretical underpinning for safe operating spaces in the presence of tipping points.
Qualifications:
- Applicant must hold PhD in Physics, Applied Mathematics, Meteorology, Geosciences or a related field;
- Experience in climate modeling (required);
- Basic knowledge of (geophysical) fluid dynamics (advantage);
- Excellent skills in programming and numerical / statistical analysis of simulated and observed data.
Duration: full-time position for two years
