The Max Planck Institute for Meteorology (MPI-M, www.mpimet.mpg.de) conducts fundamental research focusing on climate related problems. The institute is situated in an at-tractive downtown area of Hamburg, Germany, and provides a highly stimulating international scientific environment. Within the EU funded research proposal COMBINE an ice sheet model for the northern hemisphere will be coupled with the earth system model of the MPI. We offer 1 PostDoc Position: Coupling of an Ice Sheet Model to an Earth System Model (SAS2010-01).
The successful applicant will adapt an existing coupling scheme and perform anthropogenic climate change simulations with the resulting model. This work will be done in close cooperation with an existing working group. The experiments will be analyzed and the feedbacks between the ice sheet and the other climate components will be investigated. The simulations will be performed on the new IBM Power6 at the DKRZ (http://www.dkrz.de/dkrz/about/hardware/HPC_Cluster). The ability to work efficiently in a team is regarded as essential.
