  1. Senior Scientist
    Ocean Modeling
    Nansen Environmental and Remote Sensing Center
    Copernicus Arctic Marine Forecasting Center
    Bergen, Norway

The Nansen Environmental and Remote Sensing Center (NERSC) announces a
call for applications for the position of Senior Scientist in ocean
modeling. This fixed-term position is for two-years, with the
possibility of continuation as a permanent position, and will be located
in Bergen, Norway.

NERSC is seeking a senior ocean modeler/oceanographer to be in charge of
the ocean modeling developments. This position is initially offered for
a two-year period with the potential of becoming a permanent position
dependent on performance and funding opportunities. The successful
candidate will be expected to conduct original, independent, and
collaborative research toward the development of the hybrid coordinates
ocean model (HYCOM) in connection to the novel sea ice and ecosystem
models being developed at NERSC. This position will play a central role
in strategic decisions on the future evolution of the ocean modeling
system.

Primary tasks of this position include:

  • Contributing to the coupling framework of a new coupled sea ice-ocean
    system in collaboration with NERSC sea-ice modelers and
  • Carrying out developments as part of the evolution of the operational
    service in the Arctic.

Requirement for this position include:

  • A PhD or equivalent in applied mathematics, engineering, computer
    science, earth system science, or a related physical science;
  • Research experience in a relevant field and good publication record in
    refereed journals;
  • Experience with development and/or extensive use of ocean models and
    their evaluation using observations; and
  • Teamwork, good communication, and collaborative skills.

Knowledge in one or more of the following areas is a plus:

  • Ocean-ice-atmosphere coupling processes in the Arctic Ocean;
  • Oceanography of the North Atlantic and Arctic;
  • Experience with general vertical coordinate ocean models;
  • Experience with couplers or coupling frameworks;
  • Excellent programming skills in Fortran or C++ to manage big and
    collaborative projects and experience with version control systems; and
  • Previous experience in scientific software and tools, such as MATLAB,
    Python and R.

Application materials, including a curriculum vitae, a motivation
letter, and contact information of two to three references, should be
submitted via email with the subject line, "Application for a senior
ocean modeler" to admin [at] nersc.no and copied to
annette.samuelsen [at] nersc.no and laurent.bertino [at] nersc.no.

Application deadline: Thursday, 8 December 2016.

Position start date: 1 January 2017.
