A postdoctoral position in climate modeling at Sorbonne University, LOCEAN/IPSL and Yale University (M/F)

A postdoctoral position in ocean, atmosphere and climate modelling is available as part of collaboration between LOCEAN (Sorbonne University/CNRS/IRD/MNHN) and Yale University. The project is led by Drs. Alexey Fedorov, Eric Guilyardi, and Juliette Mignot. The focus of the project is relatively broad and includes the impacts of global warming on tropical oceans, tropical basin interactions, and ENSO dynamics in a warming climate. Initial investigation will include the contribution of individual tropical basins to global warming. There could also be opportunities to work on variability, change and impacts of the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) and its role in global climate.

The work will involve numerical climate modeling, and analyses of observational and GCM data.

Successful postdoctoral candidates will be based at the Pierre et Marie Curie campus of Sorbonne University in the heart of Paris during the first year and at Yale University during the second year, but other arrangements can also be made. There is also the possibility of renewal for a third year.
