Postdoctoral Research Associate in Global Glacier Modelling and Analysis

2 months ago


Midlothian, United Kingdom The University of Edinburgh Full time
About the Role

We are seeking an exceptional Postdoctoral Research Associate to join our team at The University of Edinburgh. As a key member of our research group, you will play a crucial role in advancing our understanding of global glacier modelling and analysis.

Key Responsibilities
  • Develop and implement effective coupling and calibration strategies for the Open Global Glacier Model (OGGM) and Factorial Snow Model (FSM) to determine surface mass balance and runoff of high-mountain glaciers.
  • Deploy these strategies in targeted regions where fieldwork and regional climate modelling are being carried out.
  • Interface with climate modellers who will provide meteorological inputs for the coupled model and with hydrological modellers who will use glacier coverage and runoff as inputs.
Requirements
  • PhD (or nearing completion) in global glacier modelling or computational geoscience.
  • Extensive knowledge of Python is essential, and detailed experience developing within OGGM is highly desirable.
  • Ability to work efficiently both independently and collaboratively as part of a team.
  • Experience in analysing and interpreting model/observational data, including assessment of uncertainties.
  • Excellent organisational and communication skills.
What We Offer

As a Postdoctoral Research Associate at The University of Edinburgh, you will have the opportunity to work with a team of investigators in the Schools of GeoScience, with expertise in ice-sheet, glacier, and climate modelling. We offer a dynamic and supportive work environment, with access to state-of-the-art facilities and resources.
