Netherlands : Postdoctoral researcher in the field of regional climate modelling over ice sheets

Sponsored Links

IMAU is looking for a motivated Postdoctoral Researcher (m/f) to carry out necessary adjustments to the Regional Atmospheric Climate Model (RACMO2). Although this project has a focus on model development, evaluation and publication of model results are important aspects for the second part of this project. The model that has been successfully applied to the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets, must be updated to include the most recent surface and radiation schemes of the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF). After that, test runs will be performed to assess the differences with previous model versions. We also envision changes in the surface-layer mixing scheme.

This work is performed in the framework of the Netherlands Arctic Program.

Applicants preferably have a strong background in meteorology/geophysics at the MSc level, and have experience with (regional) meteorological models and FORTRAN90 programming on UNIX-based computer systems. Good English oral and writing skills are essential.

The salary is supplemented with a holiday bonus of 8% and an end-of-year bonus of 8,3% per year.
