Postdoctoral position in Earth System Modelling of Abrupt Climate Change, IBIMET, Florence, Italy and EPFL, Lausanne, Switzerland

The Instituto di Biometeorologia of the Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche, Florence, Italy is searching for a postdoctoral researcher (A.1) to join a new research group studying abrupt climate change. 

Research projects include experiments to quantify the role of biogeochemical changes in the Earth’s land surface in amplifying or attenuating abrupt climate changes observed in paleoclimate archives. 

Tasks include the application and possible further development of the latest generation of coupled Earth System models, including land-atmosphere aerosol-chemistry-climate interactions. The postdoctoral researcher will be expected to take a leadership role in a young, dynamic team with expertise in land surface modeling, paleo-data  synthesis, and global biogeochemical cycles.

Applicants should hold a Ph.D. degree and must possess excellent verbal and written communication skills in English. Practical knowledge of the operation of Earth System models (GCMs) is essential, as is expertise in Unix shell scripting and modern Fortran programming. Experience with data visualization and manipulation software (GMT, NCO, CDO) and GIS is desirable. This position will require international travel for extended periods of time. The ideal applicant will be motivated, well organized, interested in the subject matter, and hold an advanced degree with a background in atmospheric, earth or ocean sciences, physics, chemistry, geography or related fields.

The reviewing of applications will begin immediately, and will continue until the position is filled.
