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

About the Role

We are seeking a talented computational scientist to join our ice sheet modelling project at the University of Tasmania.

This project offers a rare opportunity to work at the intersection of Earth system modelling, climate science, and high-performance computing to address major challenges facing society.

As part of this role, you will work closely with Australia's Climate Simulator to couple the Ice-sheet and Sea-level System Model with the ocean model.

Key Responsibilities

  • Couple the ISSM ice-sheet model with the ocean and sea-ice model in collaboration with project partners.
  • Refine and optimize the coupled model for improved computational performance and numerical reliability.
  • Implement new basal melt parameterisations, iceberg calving mechanisms, Antarctic fast-ice physics, biogeochemistry processes, and grounded iceberg dynamics.
  • Contribute to the development and maintenance of ACCESS-ISSM Recipes, the ACCESS-ISSM Python API, and the Community Data Pool.
  • Engage with the ACCESS-NRI Ice Sheet Modelling Team by attending regular meetings, workshops, training sessions, and conferences.

Requirements

  • A PhD (or near completion) in glaciology, oceanography, computational modelling, climate sciences, software engineering, or a closely related discipline.
  • Demonstrated experience with numerical modelling is required.
  • Experience involving ice sheet dynamics, ocean processes, coupled ocean-ice sheet modelling, or broader coupled climate system components is desirable.
  • Strong technical proficiency in software development and optimization for high-performance computing environments.
  • Proficiency in Python, C++ and Fortran programming as well as experience with APIs for model pre- and post-processing.
  • Excellent communication skills, including the ability to write technical documentation and publish research outcomes in peer-reviewed scientific journals.

Benefits

As a member of our team, you will have the opportunity to contribute significantly to the advancement of ice sheet-ocean coupled modelling and sea-level rise projections within a dynamic, collaborative research environment.

Participate in cutting-edge research that addresses pressing global issues and make a meaningful impact on society.

Pursue your passion for ice sheet modelling and work with a talented team of scientists and researchers who share your enthusiasm.

Others

The University of Tasmania offers a supportive and inclusive work environment with opportunities for professional development and growth.

Work collaboratively with international partners and engage with the global community of ice sheet modellers.

Take advantage of our state-of-the-art facilities and resources to advance your research and career goals.
