Niels Bohr Institute
Faculty of Science
University of Copenhagen
A 2-year Postdoc position is available in the Ice and Climate research group at the Niels Bohr Institute (NBI), University of Copenhagen for a strong candidate with a background in geophysics and glaciology.
The Postdoc will be employed as part of the Novo Nordisk Foundation Challenge Center PRECISE – PREdiCtions of Ice Sheets on Earth with the overall aim of reducing uncertainties in the projected contribution from ice sheets to the global mean sea level rise. The center includes ice flow modelling studies, ice core studies, surface geophysical studies, theoretical ice physics studies, as well as integration of data and numerical models to enable better simulations of ice sheet melt and mass loss under global warming.
The Postdoc will work with ice flow and radar glaciology to understand ice flow dynamics and ice material properties. The Postdoc will be part of an international research team in PRECISE, including researchers from NBI, the Danish Meteorological Institute and Northumbria University in Newcastle, UK.
The postdoc’s duties will primarily include research within the field of ice flow modelling and radar glaciology, including obligations with regards to publication and scientific communication as well as research-based teaching.
In addition, the postdoc will perform scientific coordination tasks related to the PRECISE center and assist the center leader in day-to-day operations. These tasks include day-to-day managing tasks, reporting to the Novo Nordisk Foundation, tasks related to outreach and dissemination, internal communication within PRECISE, and organizing and contributing to scientific workshops and events within PRECISE.
The position will be hosted in NBI’s Ice and Climate group. The Ice and Climate group is a world-leading research group in ice-core related climate research. The main activities of the group are ice core drilling, analysis of ice cores, and ice flow modelling with the overall aim to understand climate change and evolution of ice sheets. The group has a large network of national and international collaborators. There will be possibilities to join the fieldwork on the Greenland ice sheet. For more information on the activities in the Ice and Climate group, visit www.iceandclimate.dk.

Inquiries about the position can be made to the PRECISE center leader, professor Christine S. Hvidberg ch@nbi.ku.dk.
The position is open from September 1st, 2023 or as soon as possible thereafter.
The University wishes our staff to reflect the diversity of society and thus welcomes applications from all qualified candidates regardless of personal background.
Terms of employment
The position is covered by the Memorandum on Job Structure for Academic Staff.
Terms of appointment and payment accord to the agreement between the Ministry of Finance and The Danish Confederation of Professional Associations on Academics in the State.
Negotiation for salary supplement is possible.
Required qualifications
- PhD degree in geophysics or similar
- Solid knowledge of advanced data processing in the field of radar glaciology, and of integrating radar data in ice flow modelling
- Good technical skills and experience with numerical modelling based on mathematics and physics.
- Experience with glaciological field work
- Excellent English communication skills, both written and oral
- Ability to work both independently and interactively within a research group, and experience with collaborative projects in larger international teams.
Please include
- Cover letter expressing the motivation for the position and a brief summary of previous research experience of the applicant (max one page)
- Curriculum vitae
- Diplomas (Master and PhD degree or equivalent)
- Research plan – description of current and future research plans
- Complete publication list
- Separate reprints of 3 particularly relevant papers
After the expiry of the deadline for applications, the authorized recruitment manager selects applicants for assessment on the advice of the Interview Committee.
