The Nansen Environmental and Remote Sensing Center (NERSC) invites applications for a postdoctoral position in data assimilation. This three-year position will be located at NERSC in Bergen, Norway.

The successful candidate will study novel data assimilation methods for numerical models using a time-varying mesh. In particular, the main task will be the development of an ensemble-based data assimilation system for the state-of-the-art sea ice model, neXtSIM, developed in-house at NERSC.

Applicants must have a PhD in applied mathematics, physics, or glaciology. Programming skills in Python, Matlab, and C++ are desirable, as well as writing and oral fluency in English. Candidates with a background in data assimilation and/or in sea-ice modeling will be given priority.

Applications must include:

  • A curriculum vitae,
  • A letter of motivation describing the applicant’s interest in the position and area of study and/or up-to-date research activity, and
  • Contact information for at least two references.

Application materials must be submitted via email to admin [at] nersc.no, copied to alberto.carrassi [at] nersc.no and pierre.rampal [at] nersc.no, with the subject line “Application for DASIM II Postdoc position.”
