瑞士伯爾尼大學氣候與環(huán)境物理研究所2023年招聘博士后職位

伯爾尼大學（德文：Universität Bern；英文：University of Bern，簡稱UniBe）坐落于瑞士首都伯爾尼，是世界上著名的研究型大學。該校創(chuàng)建歷史可以追溯到16世紀早期宗教改革中建立的清教神學院。學校在建校時即擁有3位教授，到十七世紀末擁有6位教授，到十八世紀伯爾尼大學在人文和神學領域一直處于統(tǒng)治地位。包括埃米爾·特奧多爾·科赫爾和庫爾特·維特里希在內的諾貝爾獎得主都曾在此學習工作。

作為一所國際化研究型大學，伯爾尼大學的學術和研究機構以其跨學科性為傲。伯爾尼大學物理學院曾經參與了人類首次月球探險，如今仍繼續(xù)為美國宇航局（NASA）和歐洲航天局（ESA）的項目提供研究儀器和實驗分析數據。此外，學校擁有五個國家卓越研究中心：國際貿易監(jiān)管、TranSure（膜生物）、MUST（分子超快科學技術）、PlanetS（行星系統(tǒng)的形成與發(fā)展）、RNA和疾病。

PostDoc Position

University of Bern

PostDoc Position

The Division of Climate- and Environmental Physics, Physics Institute, University of Bern offers a Postdoc position.

The position is part of the SNF-funded CHARIBDIS-project which aims at improving and calibrating ice sheet models via the Antarctic radiostratigraphic record and will have a strong focus on model-data integration. The successful applicant will be part of the ice sheet modelling group at the University of Bern with many opportunities for collaboration and extended research visits internationally.

There are two key foci of the envisaged research:

• Development of a novel parameterization of basal friction informed by the isochronal structure of Antarctic drainage sectors. • Investigation of dynamic ice sheet reorganizations during past climate transitions.

Background

The evolution of the Antarctic Ice Sheet during the coming centuries and millennia is highly uncertain. Its future path could make it the dominating driver of global sea level rise, thwarting even a complete loss of the entire Greenland Ice Sheet under the most dire climate scenarios. At the same time, the heuristics involved in the parameterization of current ice sheet models are insufficient to e.g. adequately capture dynamic Antarctic drainage sectors thus leading to large uncertainties in sea level projections. The successful candidate will improve upon physical descriptions of ice flow/basal drag in ice sheet models by combining high resolution ice sheet modelling and investigate ice dynamic responses of the Antarctic Ice Sheet during past climate transitions.

Qualifications

We are looking for a highly motivated researcher with a strong interest in the Cryosphere, model development and observational data. Applicants should have a degree in the field of Physics, Earth System Sciences, Mathematics or related disciplines. Mandatory requirements for the position are experience in programming (e.g. C++, Python, Matlab) and a strong background in physics and or mathematics. Good communication skills in English (both verbal and written), a robust publication track-record, and willingness to closely collaborate with colleagues at the University of Bern and beyond are expected.

The Climate and Environmental Physics Institute at the University of Bern offers a highly interdisciplinary research- and team-oriented work environment. Salary is according to the postdoctoral scale of the University of Bern and depends on experience. A small contribution to teaching in the Physics curriculum is expected.

Expected Start date 1.10.2023 or to be agreed. Contract Length: 3 years, 80-100 %.

Your application is in one pdf-file and consists of a motivation letter, CV, a link to a PDF file of your PhD thesis, MSc and PhD certificates including evaluations and the names and addresses of at least two references. Please send the application or job-related inquiries to johannes.sutter@unibe.ch.
