Hobart, Tasmania, Australia beBeeModeller Full time $125,877 - $155,885

This is an exciting opportunity to contribute significantly to the advancement of ice sheet-ocean coupled modelling and sea-level rise projections.

About the Role

We are seeking a highly motivated computational scientist with experience in numerical modelling to join our ice sheet modelling team. You will be working closely with Australia's Climate Simulator (ACCESS-NRI) to couple the Ice-sheet and Sea-level System Model (ISSM) with the ACCESS-OM3 ocean model.

This role provides an excellent chance to refine and optimise the coupled ACCESS-OM3-ISSM model for improved computational performance and numerical reliability.

  • Coupling the ISSM ice-sheet model with the ACCESS-OM3 ocean and sea-ice model.
  • Refining the coupled ACCESS-OM3-ISSM model for improved performance and reliability.

You will have the opportunity to engage with the ACCESS-NRI Ice Sheet Modelling Team by attending regular meetings, workshops, training sessions, and conferences.

Your Skills and Experience
  • A PhD in glaciology, oceanography, computational modelling, climate sciences, software engineering, or a related discipline.
  • Demonstrated experience with numerical modelling is essential. Experience involving ice sheet dynamics, ocean processes, and coupled climate system components is desirable.
  • Strong technical proficiency in software development and optimisation for high-performance computing environments.
  • Proficiency in Python, C++, and Fortran programming as well as experience with APIs for model pre- and post-processing.
