Postdoc: Ocean Carbon Modeling for Climate Systems

CNRS; France; Sur place; EUR 40 000 - 60 000; Plein temps

Résumé du poste

A leading research organization in France seeks a dedicated Researcher for the OptimESM project to enhance parameterizations of air-sea carbon exchanges in climate models. The successful candidate will have a PhD in a related field, relevant experience in numerical modeling, and skills in scientific programming. This full-time position involves collaboration with international research teams and offers the chance to contribute to essential climate modeling efforts.

Qualifications

• PhD in oceanography, climate modeling, marine biogeochemistry, or a related discipline.
• Strong experience in numerical modeling (oceanic, biogeochemical, or climate).
• Proficiency in a scientific programming language (Fortran, Python, or equivalent).
• Familiarity with high‑performance computing (HPC) environments.
• Good understanding of marine biogeochemical processes and air–sea gas exchange mechanisms.
• Skills in data analysis and visualization (e.g., Python, MATLAB, R).
• Excellent written and oral communication skills in English.
• Strong motivation to contribute to the development of next-generation climate models.

Responsabilités

• Improve parameterizations of air–sea carbon exchanges in climate models.
• Implement, test, and evaluate new parameterizations.
• Develop diagnostics to assess the realism of climate models.
• Quantify improvements in carbon cycle in climate models.
• Disseminate scientific results through publications and conferences.
