Position 2, Deadline 14th of May

Climate scientist with focus on modelling ice sheets in the global climate system

The Danish Meteorological Institute (DMI) opens a permanent, full-time position for a climate scientist interested in the physics and the physical modelling of polar region ice sheets in the climate system. We are seeking a highly motivated candidate to strengthen this area of research at the National Centre for Climate Research (NCKF) at DMI. With NCKF-researchers and collaborators, you will design, simulate and investigate the present and future climate and climate-ice sheet interactions using our Earth system model (EC-Earth) with interactive ice sheets (PISM) in both Greenland and Antarctica. You will work with a strong team of colleagues specialised in climate modelling (global and regional) and remote sensing. NCKF is the national climate advisor to the Danish Government. The post holder will also work closely together with DMI’s other departments and in particular DMI’s department for Politics, Strategy and Communication help advising on the role of ice sheets in a changing climate.

Employment and salary will be according to the Danish Law and Agreements, at the scientist level, depending on previous experience. It will be possible to apply for an addition to the basic salary. Researchers who are recruited from abroad, and who are able to meet certain conditions, have the opportunity to work in Denmark for a period of 60 months under a special 26 % tax rate without deduction, instead of working under the regular income taxation.
