Postdoc position in polar climate modelling and remote sensing (0.8 - 1.0 FTE)

Updated: over 2 years ago
Job Type: Temporary
Deadline: 19 Dec 2021

Are you looking for an exciting opportunity to work on modelling and remote sensing of polar firn over the Antarctic Ice Sheet? We currently offer a position for a postdoctoral researcher to work on model simulations of the firn layer in Antarctica, with a particular focus on perennial bodies of liquid water stored in the firn layer. By combining satellite observations with firn models, you will help to improve our understanding of Antarctic firn and surface meltwater.

You are expected to develop new methods that combine remote sensing with geophysical models. Also, you will be responsible for maintaining, developing and publishing up-to-date firn data products. These data are used by a large number of cooperating research groups worldwide, for firn characterization, satellite altimetry, and ice-sheet mass balance studies. You are therefore expected to collaborate intensively, both within our institute and abroad.

Ideally, you are able to start as soon as possible.
