Are you excited and motivated to contribute to pioneering climate research that addresses real world challenges? The Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute (KNMI) is looking for a physical oceanographer to conduct research using the NEMO ocean model, in collaboration with experts across (inter)national networks. Based in De Bilt, you will play a key role in refining KNMI’s climate scenarios, helping communities prepare for the local impacts of climate change. If this opportunity excites you, we encourage you to apply and join our team!
What will you be doing?
In this role, you will be KNMI’s specialist on the NEMO ocean model. With this expertise, you will contribute to the development of the EC-EARTH climate model, which uses NEMO as its ocean component.You will contribute to the understanding and modelling of vertical mixing in the ocean for more realistic model simulations of future climate including the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation. Your research will focus on the impact of ocean processes on sea level rise and warming in the North Atlantic and North Sea. In collaboration with colleagues at KNMI, you will also investigate the link between these oceanic changes and shifting atmospheric processes.
This gives you energy
You are motivated by the opportunity to contribute directly to scientific advancements that will support climate resilience. You are fascinated by the physics of ocean dynamics and ocean mixing as well as by the technical aspects of numerically modelling the ocean. Working in a dedicated team of climate experts at KNMI and collaborating with scientists (inter)nationally excites you. Together you will strive to generate insights that equip communities to address the future challenges of climate change.
