Job description:
Senior Scientist in Physical Oceanography (M/F/d)

Background
Tasks
You are expected to conduct and coordinate research targeting oceanglacier interaction around Greenland. In particular, building on existing modeling infrastructures at AWI, you are expected to develop model simulations that seamlessly connect the circulation from the open ocean across the continental shelf circulation and into the fjords up to the calving front. You are expected to realistically implement important phenomena/processes such as subglacial discharge, tides, icebergs, tidewater calving front, etc. Equipped with this system, you should address the interaction between the ocean and ice sheets on a Greenlandwide scale. At AWI, we expect you to interact on this topic with colleagues from the fields of glaciology, paleoclimate and fjord biology. We expect you to represent AWI's oceanglacier interaction work in national and international frameworks.

-
Requirements:

You should hold a PhD degree in physical oceanography, climate physics, or related fields.
A strong background in studying oceanographic processes relevant for warm water circulation and oceanicesheet interaction in polar oceans is required and should be documented by publications in the scientific literature.
A strong background in multiscale numerical ocean modeling is essential.
A strong interest in interpreting observational data by means of model simulations should be demonstrated.
Experience in oceanographic data acquisition in polar oceans is desirable.
Strong programming skills in data analysis and visualization are mandatory.
You need to document a strong publication record including firstauthorships. High impact paper authorships are an asset.
You should be internationally well connected in your current field of research.
Finally, demonstrated experience in the education and training of nextgeneration oceanographers is desirable.
Participation in expeditions is required.

- _ This research center is part of the Helmholtz Association of German Research Centers. With more than 42,000 employees and an annual budget of over € 5 billion, the Helmholtz Association is Germany's largest scientific organisation._

Company:

The Helmholtz Association contributes to solving major challenges to assure the future of our society.

With more than 39,000 people on staff in 18 national research centres, the Helmholtz Association is Germany's largest scientific organization.

The name Helmholtz stands for concerted research in which networks form the key principle behind inquiring thought and action. Concerted research is efficient and flexible.

The profile of the Helmholtz Association
The Helmholtz Association performs cutting-edge research which contributes substantially to solving the grand challenges of science, society and industry.

To succeed in meeting these responsibilities, Helmholtz concentrates its work in six research fields:
Energy, Earth and Environment, Health, Key Technologies, Matter, as well as Aeronautics, Space and Transport. Within each of these fields, research programs are developed by our scientists and regularly evaluated by renowned international experts. Their evaluation forms the basis for the programme-oriented funding that is allocated to Helmholtz research.

Within the six research fields, Helmholtz scientists cooperate with each other and with external partners - working across disciplinary, organizational and national borders.

Promoting young academics
Helmholtz scientists, a high-performance infrastructure and modern and efficient research management are the ingredients to the Helmholtz Ass
