The institute offers outstanding facilities; research funding at a significant level and with exceptional continuity of support; and a vigorous, cohesive, and interactive intellectual environment. Further details about the institute are found at nyuad.nyu.edu/institute/. The research group at the Centre for Sea Level Change (CSLC) works in various areas of sea-level change science ranging from meteorological, oceanographic, and glaciological observations, both in situ and remote sensing, as well as component and coupled models of the atmosphere, ocean, and glacier system. For details, see nyuad.nyu.edu/en/research/nyuad-institute/institute-research/cslc.html.

The CSLC is looking to hire a researcher with expertise in glacier and ice shelf modelling. The scientist will work with others in a team to characterize Antarctic glaciers and assess their instability. The incumbent will perform research on the dynamics of Antarctic glaciers and the effect of ocean and atmosphere on their motion and instability. The work involves, in addition to modelling, the development of diagnostics using satellite and ground-based observational datasets and the possibility to join field campaigns in Arctic and Antarctic.

• Conducting and analyzing experiments on glacier dynamic processes using a glacier model, satellite observations and ground-based observations to assess their instability.
• Developing diagnostics of the physical processes involved in the interactions between glaciers, ice shelves, ocean, sea ice and atmosphere, based on observational and numerical datasets.
• Conduct scientific studies, publish results in peer-reviewed journals and communicate about them in international conferences.

• Good interpersonal and communication skills
• Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills with a proactive approach
• Dedication and enthusiasm to work in a team
