Postdoctoral researcher in paleo climate modelling
1 week ago
NORCE is a forward-looking research institute, with expertise in a wide range of fields and strong communities of knowledge. We deliver research and innovation in energy, health care, climate, the environment, society and technology.
Our solutions address key challenges for society and contribute to value creation on the local, national and global levels.
About usThe Department of Climate Dynamics is part of the NORCE Climate and Environment Division, which has around 200 employees. It conducts basic and applied research on the climate system on various temporal and spatial scales, on paleo climate, anthropogenic climate change and its impact on societies, as well as on the feasibility of climate change mitigation options.
NORCE is one of the four founding partners of the Bjerknes Centre for Climate Research (BCCR), which is the largest climate research center in Scandinavia and recognized as one of leading climate centers in Europe. The postdoctoral position will be affiliated with the BCCR, which provides a lively and stimulating international work environment.
At NORCE we are interested to recruit excellent researchers for permanent positions. If during this postdoctoral project we see a good fit, we can work towards a permanent researcher position for the successful candidate. For this, acquiring external project funding is essential, and we encourage and support the proposal writing process.
About the projectThe Department of Climate Dynamics at NORCE has a full-time postdoctoral researcher position in paleo climate modelling available. The position is for a fixed-term of 3 years. The main working place is in Bergen, Norway.
The i2B Into The Blue project (ERC Synergy Grant)
The position is part of the European Research Council Synergy Grant "i2B – Into The Blue ", which fosters collaboration between The Arctic University of Tromsø (UiT, Norway), NORCE in Bergen (Norway), and The Alfred Wegener Institute – Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research in Bremerhaven (Germany). i2B is funded for 6 years (started in November 2024) and aims to fill a major research gap in Arctic science by investigating processes, consequences and impacts of past "greenhouse" (warmer than present) conditions. In i2B we will retrieve new, key Arctic geological archives of past warmth and employ climate models to bring our current knowledge about a warm Arctic beyond the state-of-the-art. The major strengths and aims of i2B are the expertise, knowledge, skills and planned synergies of our Arctic paleoclimate data and modelling teams at UiT, NORCE and AWI.
About the positionThe overall aim of this postdoctoral project is to investigate the Arctic region during past warm climates, such as the Last Interglacial, mid-Pliocene and/or Miocene. We are looking for a postdoctoral researcher with a keen interest in setting up, running and analyzing Earth System Model simulations, focused on ocean – ice processes. The successful candidate is expected to contribute to and work with the Norwegian Earth System Model (NorESM), as well as to analyze already existing simulations from other ESMs, for example, through PMIP (Paleo Model Intercomparison Project). The work will be in collaboration with ice sheet modellers, paleoceanographers and ecosystem experts already working in i2B at NORCE. We also expect the successful candidate to contribute to outreach activities of i2B, and to publish results in high-level peer-reviewed journals.
Education requirements:The successful candidate must have a PhD in climate science, physics, physical oceanography, atmosphere science, or similar field.
Qualifications, skills and abilities:- Experience in Earth systemmodelling is required.
- A strong general background and experience in ocean and climate dynamics are desired.
- Skills in handling, analysing and visualizing large model data sets are desired.
- Experience in working with Linux/Unix environments and with high level programming languages (e.g. FORTRAN, Python) are required.
- Ability to work across disciplines, e.g. bridging modelling and observational approaches, in particular the ability to work closely with the paleo proxy community.
- Track record of peer reviewed publications in high level international journals.
- Good team working skills while being proactive.
- Proficiency in both written and oral English.
- A great opportunity to work in a prestigious ERC Synergy Grant consortium.
- A varied and flexible working day.
- An excellent and professionally inspiring working environment.
- Career development support such as courses, workshops and project proposal development and writing.
