Based in Canada, York University are looking for a post-doctoral researcher with technical expertise in the cryosphere and climate modelling to provide climate model projections of key cryosphere variables (snow, freshwater ice, sea ice) and their drivers (temperature, precipitation) at the regional and community-level scales across the Canadian Arctic that can be used to better understand the impacts, risks, and adaptation options available to support safe local and regional marine and overland mobilities. This is a transdisciplinary project with active collaboration from Chris Derksen, Steve Howell, and Lawrence Mudryk from Environment and Climate Change Canada, Jackie Dawson from the University of Ottawa, and Iestyn Woolway from Bangor University.
Funding is available for 2 years. The successful applicant will have a PhD in ecology, limnology, applied statistics, climate science, or a relevant field, experience harmonizing large datasets collected from different sources, technical expertise acquiring and analysing large-scale climate data, advanced data analytical skills in R, Python, or Matlab, and the ability to work effectively with an interdisciplinary team.
Applications are due on May 15, 2022. Preferred start date is July 1, 2022, but the starting date is negotiable. Applicants should submit a cover letter detailing their relevant background and experiences, a CV, and names and contact information for three references. Only those applicants selected for consideration will be contacted for an online interview.
