hela Sverige The oceanographic unit at SMHIs research department conducts research and development on the marine environment, marine climate, and operational oceanography. We work with analyses and development of models and observations in the open sea and the coastal zone with main focus on the Baltic Sea, the North Sea and the Arctic. Today 16 researchers are employed at the unit, and the research department has about 100 employees.
The research department at SMHI performs research within several disciplines and oceanography is one area of expertise. The research is mainly based on external funding, and the oceanography unit has succeeded in attracting funding at national and European levels. The research focus is on basic understanding and modeling of marine ecosystems, biogeochemistry, and physics, as well as on the impacts of climate change on the marine environment. We also work with new observational methods and improvement of forecast models, e.g. for predictions of ice conditions, waves, and sea levels as well as dispersion of oil spills and harmful algae blooms.
SMHI has a broad range of activities within oceanography, climate, hydrology, and meteorology, performing observations, modeling, and research. We have access to an extensive infrastructure including supercomputers for, e.g., global and regional climate modeling. Within oceanography it is worth mentioning that SMHI will get access to a new research vessel in 2019.
We are now looking for an oceanographic researcher with interest in the effects of climate change on the ocean and the marine ecosystems. The research and development work will include modeling and qualified analyses of climate projections from coupled physical-biogeochemical ocean models and coupled atmosphere-ocean models. This means that tasks such as model development, model validation, process and climate effect studies, and analyses of model output and observation data are included in the work. The work will mainly be performed within various national and international research projects which means participation in all project phases from planning to reporting.
We offer you a permanent position with placement in Norrköping.
Your profile
You have a PhD in oceanography or a related discipline and good theoretical knowledge about ocean physics and hydrodynamic processes, and preferably also about ocean climate and ocean biogeochemistry. You have documented experience in:
• scientific publications and oral presentations at international conferences,
• programming (Fortran is preferred, but other programming languages are acceptable), and
• work with analysis and statistical programming with MatLab, Python, R or similar tools.
Preferably you have a large research network and experience in:
• development, validation, and usage of numerical models on climate time scales,
• work with regional high resolution ocean models to downscale global climate scenarios according to international protocols, and
• work in the Baltic Sea, the North Sea, and/or the Arctic Ocean.
As a person, you are structured, and plan, organize, and prioritize you work in an efficient manner to meet deadlines. You are able to work independently as well as in a team. You are highly motivated to work with research, data analysis, model development, and problem solving. You also have a large interest in natural sciences and especially in ocean and climate related questions.
A good knowledge of English in both speech and writing is required. Knowledge of Swedish is beneficial, and if absent, an effort to learn is expected.
