The Nansen Center invites applications for a postdoctoral/researcher position in sea ice-ocean interaction. This full-time, two-year position, with a possibility of extension pending future funding, will be located in Bergen, Norway.

This position is linked to ongoing and upcoming national and international research projects focusing on ice–ocean interaction in a coupled ice–ocean model. The successful applicant will study the first simulations of the coupled NEMO-neXtSIM model. The main scientific tasks will be to study air–sea fluxes through leads, the Arctic sea-ice mass budget, and the role of ice heterogeneity in water mass formation and mixed layer evolution.

Responsibilities include presentation of scientific results in journal articles and conferences; participation in writing new proposals, should the occasion rise; and completion of scientific tasks set out in the relevant project proposals.

Qualifications include:

  • PhD in oceanography, climate science, or related disciplines;
  • Experience with analyzing ice and ocean model outputs; and
  • Experience running and working with coupled ice–ocean models.

Skills and personal qualities include:

  • Good communication skills in English, both written and oral;
  • Be structured and keen to learn new things; and
  • Enjoy working in a team, as well as individually.

Applications must include a curriculum vitae, application letter, copies of diplomas, and contact information for a minimum of two references.

Applications should be submitted via email to job [at] nersc.no, copied to einar.olason [at] nersc.no, with the email subject, "Application for sea-ice researcher position."
