——————–
The Mohn-Sverdrup Center for Global Ocean Studies and Operational Oceanography in Bergen, Norway, announces a position opening for a
postdoctoral candidate in modeling and data assimilation.
The Center has a vacant, 18-month, post-doctoral position to work on ice modeling in the Marginal Ice Zone (MIZ). The post-doc will develop and test a new MIZ sea-ice rheology coupled to a HYCOM model of the Fram Strait, evaluate the influence of waves, and validate the model against sea ice observations carried out during the field experiment. It is intended that the final model will be integrated into the TOPAZ Arctic forecasting system (http://topaz.nersc.no). The position will start on 1 February 2009.
Within the Nansen Center (http://www.nersc.no), the Mohn-Sverdrup Center for Global Ocean Studies and Operational Oceanography focuses on further development, implementation and validation of modules in the TOPAZ system, and conducts implementations of the system to other regions of the world’s oceans. As the sea-ice retreats in the Arctic, the Arctic Ocean may become completely open during the summer within a few decades. It is therefore of foremost importance to have the best possible estimate of the present state of the arctic ice-ocean system and to develop the methods able to forecast its future evolution. In this respect an adequate sea-ice rheology for the MIZ is missing from present days forecast models.
The candidate should hold a PhD or equivalent and have experience in numerical modeling of sea ice. Candidates with sufficient experience in
developing ocean, waves, or atmospheric models will also be considered. The successful applicant will work in a dynamic team of 15 and will
participate in a collaborative project with both international and Norwegian partners.
Applications including a CV, a publication list, and names of at least two references should be sent, no later than Monday, 1 December 2008
