The climate needs bright minds. The Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) addresses crucial scientific questions in the fields of global change, climate impacts and sustainable development. It is one of the world's leading research institutions in its field and offers natural and social scientists from around the world an inspiring environment for excellent interdisciplinary research.

In the field of Earth system and climate simulations, PIK is looking for an

Earth System Modeler for the Tipping Point Modelling Intercomparison Project (m/f/d)

(Position number: Earth System Modeler)

starting on or later.

The position is funded until June 2027. Remuneration is in accordance with the German public tariff scheme (TV-L Brandenburg), salary group E13. The position is a full-time position with a weekly working time of 40 hours per week. Appointment is conditional on approval by the funding agency. The position can be filled on a part-time basis with a minimum of 32 hours per week.

The Tipping Point Modelling Intercomparison Project (TIPMIP) is an international initiative that aims to systematically advance our understanding of tipping dynamics and associated critical thresholds which might commit parts of the Earth system to large-scale, non-linear change. Earth system components which might show such non-linear behavior include the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets, the Amazon rainforest and the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation.

The Earth system modeler position in TIPMIP will contribute to the further development and evaluation of the TIPMIP Earth System Modeling protocol. In addition to protocol development and performing TIPMIP ESM simulations, they will serve as a scientific liaison between the TIPMIP core team and the international Earth system modeling community.

Key responsibilities:

Further development of the TIPMIP Earth system modeling protocol beyond TIPMIP Phase 1 (in collaboration with TIPMIP partners);
Performing Earth system modeling simulations with appropriate ESMs (e.g. ClimberX, POEM, UKESM);
Coordinating Earth system modeling data submission and distribution with the TIPMIP Data Scientist/Manager;
Coordination with other TIPMIP domain modelers (e.g. biosphere, ice sheets, AMOC/ocean, etc.) to ensure appropriate model diagnostics availability for offline model evaluation;
Coordinating the TIPMIP ESM domain group in close collaboration with the TIPMIP staff and ESM Domain Leads;
Assisting in the preparation of annual online and in-person domain-specific (ESM) meetings;
Analysis of ESM output data and publication of results in high-ranked, peer-reviewed, international scientific journals;
Presentation of key results at international scientific meetings and conferences;
Contribute to the drafting of project documentation and reports (interim and final project reports, conference reports);
Support of e.g. interns, students, doctoral candidates, and project scientists in the processing, evaluation and interpretation of data and in the conception and implementation of research projects.

Requirements

Completed scientific higher education degree (PhD) in the field(s) of Earth science, geosciences, physics, mathematics, computer science or a comparable field;
Demonstrated experience performing simulations with Earth system models (e.g. CESM, UKESM, ClimberX, etc.);
Scientific publication record appropriate for the experience level;
Experience in scientific software development;
Knowledge of the state-of-the-art in Earth system and climate modeling;
Programming skills e.g. in C, BASH, Python;
Software user knowledge: MS Office, Linux;
Proficient in dealing with database systems and operating systems.

We expect:

the ability to work independently and on your own initiative;
a methodical and systematic approach and the capacity to familiarize yourself quickly with new topics;
a high level of competence in oral and written German and English (Equivalent to C1 or better in both languages);
reliability, engagement, and strong motivation;
willingness to travel for work (project meetings, workshops etc.) and take part in additional training(s);
strong willingness and capacity to work as a member of a dynamic, growing, and intra-institutional team;
a high degree of personal and professional organizational skill.

We offer:

the opportunity to be part of a creative, interdisciplinary team;
a stimulating working environment in an internationally recognized research institute on Potsdam's beautiful, historic Telegrafenberg campus, a short commuting distance from Berlin;
flexi-time and mobile working (up to 50% of your hours);
a collective pay scheme and associated benefits as well as a subsidized travel card for public transport or Deutschland-Ticket Job.

PIK values equality and diversity. We encourage applications without photo. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment regardless of ethnic and social origin, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, care responsibilities, or age.

Please apply as soon as possible, latest by directly using our application form below this job advertisement on our website. Application documents should comprise a letter of motivation, CV, relevant certificates and transcripts, as well as an indication of references. The application process remains open until the position is filled. An external scientific expert may assist in evaluations during the interview process.

If you hold an international higher education qualification, please also submit the Statement of Comparability from the Central Office for Foreign Education (ZAB) with your application. In the case that you do not yet have a ZAB Statement of Comparability for your qualification, please be aware that you may need to request this if your application is successful.
