Postdoc Position In Computer Simulation Of Calving Glaciers (0.8 – 1.0 Fte)

Utrecht University

Postdoc position in Computer simulation of calving glaciers (0.8 – 1.0

FTE)

Job description

Calving glaciers have complex dynamics and their response to climate change is not well understood. Many calving glaciers are surge-type glaciers which makes diagnosis of their current state difficult. However, using computer simulation with a variety of models offers the possibility to integrate existing data and to get more insight in these glaciers. Calibration of the models against past observations on glacier length and ice thickness data increases the reliability of projections of future behaviour under various scenarios of climate change.

Qualifications

You have completed a PhD degree in physics, geophysics or another area related to environmental sciences with a strong mathematical background. You already have good background knowledge on glacier dynamics and physics of the climate system. More specifically you are:

Familiar with adapting and running codes in Fortran, Python and other software used in computer simulation

A team player that is open and willing to share knowledge with colleagues

A positive mind taking the climate problem seriously and willing to advance our knowledge about consequences of global warming

Offer

A 0.8 – 1.0 FTE position for 1.5 - 2 years depending on size of appointment;

A full-time gross salary ranging from €2,960 to €4.670 in scale 10;

8% holiday bonus and 8.3% end-of-year bonus;

A pension scheme, partially paid parental leave, and flexible employment conditions based on the Collective Labour Agreement Dutch Universities.

In addition to the employment conditions from the CAO for Dutch Universities, Utrecht University has a number of its own arrangements. These include agreements on professional development, leave arrangements and sports. We also give you the opportunity to expand your terms of employment through the Employment Conditions Selection Model. This is how we encourage you to grow.
