Postdoc Position in Ocean Tipping Points and Impacts
(2 years)
The Ocean Modelling group within the Climate- and Environmental Physics Division at the University of Bern invites applications for a postdoctoral position focused on modeling ocean-climate tipping points and their impacts. The successful candidate will explore extreme future outcomes by developing “what if” scenarios – examining the consequences of crossing critical tipping points in the ocean's physical system. Key areas of focus include disruptions to the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation and Southern Ocean circulation, along with their associated impacts on ocean biogeochemistry and climate. The candidate will also have the opportunity to pursue related topics and develop new projects.
The project offers the opportunity to work with a comprehensive, fully coupled climate-carbon cycle Earth system model and collaborate with experts in tipping points within the Horizon Europe TipESM project (https://www.tipesm.eu), the Climate and Environmental Physics Division and the Oeschger Centre for Climate Change Research. Employment conditions and remuneration are in accordance with the standards of the University of Bern, Switzerland. The initial appointment is for two years.
