Postdoctoral Fellow – Kilometer-Scale Global Modeling and Extremes
Center for Climate Physics
The IBS Center for Climate Physics (ICCP), (http://iccp.ibs.re.kr) directed by Dr. Axel Timmermann, is dedicated to advancing the understanding of natural climate variability, man-made climate change and their impacts on the hydrological cycle, regional processes, ice-sheets, and sea level. The ICCP is generously funded through the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) (http://ibs.re.kr).
ICCP is located in Busan, the second largest city in South Korea and the ninth largest port city in the world. Surrounded by ocean and mountains, the city has a dramatic natural background. From designer cafes, international movie and art festivals, award-winning restaurants to temples at the end of hiking trails, Busan has something to offer for everyone.

Postdoctoral Fellow – Kilometer-Scale Global Modeling and Extremes
Employer: IBS Center for Climate Physics (ICCP)
Location: Pusan National University, Busan, South Korea
Education Level: PhD
Job type: Postdoctoral Fellow
Salary: 54-60 million KRW/year
Term: Full Time, 2 year, with possibility for renewal
The successful candidate will work with Prof. Christian Franzke on analyzing ultra-high, kilometer-scale resolution global simulations with the coupled climate model AWI-CM3 (OpenIFS-FESOM3). ICCP has carried out global climate change simulations with 9km resolution (https://egusphere.copernicus.org/preprints/2024/egusphere-2024-2491/) and plans to do even higher resolution simulations. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to investigate the dynamics of extreme events: for example how cloud-radiation and moisture affect the intensity of storms, or how precipitation systems will change in intensity and scale in a warmer climate. This research will provide new insights of how global warming will affect storms, atmospheric circulation systems and extreme events in some of the highest resolution climate simulations to date. The successful candidate will also have the opportunity to become involved in other ongoing exciting ICCP projects on Earth system predictability and sensitivity.
Applicants for this position should have a PhD in climate sciences, meteorology, oceanography, physics or a related field. Candidates are expected to have strong computational skills, a good publication record, a high level of independence but also the ability to work in a team, curiosity and creativity, and an interest in working in an international and interdisciplinary research environment.
