Job description

This Postdoc position is part of the Emmy-Noether group "Artemics" (Arctic internal wave energetics and mixing and their interdependence with sea ice in changing climate conditions) and focuses on Arctic internal tides. Mainly from a numerical modeling perspective, but also including theory and observations, we aim to understand the interplay of tides, internal tides, and sea ice in the warming Arctic and how to parameterize the tide-induced mixing processes consistently in ocean models.

This is a full-time position, limited to 30 months with a starting date as soon as possible but no later than March 1, 2026. It is also suitable for part-time employment.
