Postdoc of Ice and Climate
A two-year postdoc position is open at the Section for the Physics of Ice, Climate and Earth at the Niels Bohr Institute. The postdoc will be part of a Canadian-Danish research group focusing on the Müller ice cap in Northern Canada. The position is open from January 2025 or as soon as possible thereafter.
About the position
We need to model the dynamics of the ice cap and its outlet glaciers to understand the relationship between the history of the ice cap and the regional climatic conditions throughout the Holocene and maybe further back in time.
The modelling will be supported by a 600 m deep ice core to be drilled during the spring of 2025. Climate proxies from the ice core can be used to drive the glacier models.
In turn, glacier models may deliver surface elevation changes of the ice cap which are needed for a proper interpretation of the ice core record.
The postdoc’s duties will include research within the field of Ice and Climate as well as teaching. The position may also include performance of other duties like fieldwork on the ice caps.

The Niels Bohr Institute as a workplace
The Niels Bohr Institute has a strong cultural heritage accumulated from our 100 years of internationally high level of research and teaching.
The initiator of our Department, Niels Bohr, had an international mindset about scientific collaboration as well as a desire for an open and open-minded atmosphere for all.
100 years later, we still have an informal and open international research environment that strives to promote research, teaching and innovation at the highest level with respect and helpfulness towards students, colleagues and all other stakeholders.
Our students, staff and partners are the source of our success and at the same time our best ambassadors. As a Department, we want to create an inspiring and challenging work environment with a good balance between work and private life.
We want the Niels Bohr Institute to be a place where people are proud of and happy to work, study and collaborate with.
