Research Scientist – Sea ice modelling
• CSIRO is Australia’s premier scientific research and technology organisation
• We have excellent career development opportunities & professional support
• We also offer flexible working arrangements and enhanced leave entitlements
CSIRO (the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation), the Australian Bureau of Meteorology and Australian universities are jointly developing an earth system model (ACCESS), incorporating atmosphere, ocean, sea ice and land-surface components. An exciting opportunity exists for a qualified Research Scientist to join the team developing this model for successful performance of century-scale climate simulations including participation in international model benchmarking projects. You will work on the sea ice component as a part of the coupled system. Analysis and publication of the model improvements and of the resulting improved climate simulations will be expected. This role will involve collaboration with colleagues in the Australian Bureau of Meteorology, Universities in Australia, the UK Met Office and Los Alamos National Laboratory.
To be successful in this role, you will have:
• a PhD (or equivalent) in any of atmospheric science, physics, meteorology, earth system science, mathematical modelling;
• significant experience in the use and development of large scale sea ice models;
• demonstrated high proficiency in Fortran 90 (preferred) or another computer programming language;
• demonstrated ability to work as part of a team in solving scientific problems, achieving joint goals.
In return you will be rewarded with working with a leading government organisation which is engaged in world class scientific research projects, career development and professional support.
