The Danish Climate Centre (DKC) is responsible for the provision of plausible future climate conditions for Denmark, the Faroe Islands and Greenland. DKC is involved in many international collaborative projects, where modelling and analysis of the results are central elements. Activities involve Global Climate Modelling (GCM) and Regional Climate Modelling (RCM) as well as Ice Sheet Modelling for the Greenland Ice Sheet.

We seek a post-doc to join our energetic research team. You should have some experience running a GCM, RCM or advanced ice sheet model, be literate in UNIX/Linux operating system, and have a working knowledge of C++, C and/or FORTRAN. As part of the DKC team you will work on refining climate models, utilize and improve climate models, implement ensemble simulations, and/or undertake research on methods for assessing probabilistic climate change from multi-model ensembles. One focus of the research is on developing a coupled model system for the Greenland Ice Sheet, the atmosphere and the surrounding seas.

Within the many projects that the group is involved in, you will have scope to develop your own specific foci while supporting the broader project objectives. DKC is a leading climate research group in northern Europe, active in applied modelling activities in climate change, seasonal forecasting, and climate system processes. The group has a strong emphasis on multi-disciplinary integration and is seeking to get further engaged with stakeholders in the cryospheric, water, agricultural, and policy communities, particularly within Denmark, the Faroe Islands and Greenland.
