Job description

Your Tasks

• Adapt the existing ice sheet-atmosphere coupling to integrate with the new atmospheric model OpenIFS
• Adapt the dynamic ice shelf-cavity geometry coupling from ISSM-FESOM to PISM-FESOM
• Enhance the model's restart procedure to account for changes in ice shelf morphology and ocean cavity structure over time
• Utilize the modified Earth System Model (AWI-ESM) to perform high-resolution climate projections extending to the year 2500
• Investigate the long-term evolution of ice-ocean interactions using these simulations
• Provide downscaled data to observation-focused project partners for collaborative research

Your Profile

• A PhD in oceanography, glaciology, climate science, geology, or a closely related field
• Experience in numerical modeling, particularly in atmosphere-ocean-ice interactions
• Proficiency in programming languages such as Fortran, C++, or other compiled languages
• Proficiency in Python, R, or other scripting languages used for data analysis and processing
• Experience with high-performance computing (HPC)
• Very good knowledge of English (C1)
• Proven ability to work effectively in a multidisciplinary team
• A solid publication record in peer-reviewed scientific journals, particularly in relevant fields such as Earth system model development and coupled climate dynamics

The AWI is characterized by

• our scientific success - excellent research
• collaboration and cooperation - intra-institute, national and international, interdisciplinary
• opportunities to develop – on the job and towards other positions
• an international environment – everyday contact with people from all over the world
