-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 Research Department Earth System Analysis, we are offering an exciting opportunity to be part of a new development phase of the Potsdam Institute. We are looking for an

**Earth System Modeller (M/F/d)**
(Position number: 57-2024 Earth System Modeller)
in the field of **tipping point modelling**, ideally starting on 01.01.2025 or as soon as possible thereafter.
The position is initially** funded for 2,5 years**. Extensions are envisaged but depend on new external funding. Remuneration is in accordance with the German public tariff scheme (TV-L Brandenburg), salary group E 13. This is a full-time position with a weekly working time of 40 hours. The position can be filled on a part-time basis.

**Background**
At PIK, we are developing a model to bridge the gap between traditional EMICs and the current generation of comprehensive models, called the Potsdam Earth Model (POEM). Instead of focusing on the highest resolution possible, POEM is designed to be as comprehensive as possible, focusing on including as many Earth System components as possible (including land use, biosphere with dynamic vegetation, ice sheets, dynamic bathymetry, the carbon and nitrogen cycles, etc.) to simulate the interactions and feedbacks within and between these systems. This is particularly crucial when studying tipping points and their interactions.

**Key responsibilities**:

**Requirements**:

**We expect**:

- a solid understanding of Earth system models
- advanced skills in scientific modelling and computing
- the ability to work independently and on your own initiative
- structured and goal-oriented thinking
- capacity to familiarize yourself quickly with new topics
- creativity and openness to new approaches
- high level of proficiency in the English language
- reliability, the ability to cope with the challenges of research environments, and a high level of motivation
- willingness to travel for work (project meetings, workshops etc.) and take part in further training
- capacity for teamwork
- organizational talent

**We offer**:

- the chance to be part of a creative, interdisciplinary team,
- a stimulating working environment in an internationally recognised 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 or the Deutschland-Ticket Job. -For further information or to discuss the position please contact Dr. Georg Feulner.
