The Department of Earth Sciences is Sweden's most comprehensive academic environment for research and education in geoscience. Here you will find broad expertise that contributes to solutions for important societal challenges. Earth is a dynamic planet that is constantly changing. To understand how our planet works, our researchers seek answers in the field, through laboratory experiments, and advanced models. Our research and education cover many different areas: rocks and minerals, weather and climate, the evolution of life, natural disasters, wind power and energy, environmental and water engineering, and sustainable development. Our research combines natural science and engineering with social science and is often interdisciplinary. The department employs over 300 people from more than 30 countries, both in Uppsala and at Campus Gotland. Our six research divisions: • Geophysics • Air, Water and Landscape Science • Mineralogy, Petrology and Tectonics • Natural Resources and Sustainable Development • Paleobiology • Wind Energy For more information, see: https://www.uu.se/institution/geovetenskaper The successful candidate for this position will be employed at the Air, Water and Landscape Science (LUVAL) program at the Department of Earth Sciences. Responsibilities Turbulent flows at the air–sea–ice interface in the marginal ice zone (MIZ)—the transition zone between open water and pack ice—are critical for polar weather, ecosystems, and climate on both local and global scales. The presence of sea ice floes, varying in size from centimeters to hundreds of kilometers, creates an exceptionally heterogeneous surface with varying roughness and temperature profiles. These characteristics significantly affect momentum and heat fluxes across the air–sea–ice interface and other processes. Despite this importance, our understanding of turbulent flows at the interface in the MIZ remains fragmented and poorly represented in current weather and climate models. The postdoctoral project will focus on: implementing new turbulent parameterizations for the marginal ice zone (MIZ) in Earth system models (regional or global), and assessing the impact of MIZ processes on polar extreme cyclones and their broader consequences for polar climate. Requirements PhD in atmospheric or ocean science, or a related field, or a foreign degree assessed as equivalent to a PhD in the above subject. The degree must be completed by the time the employment decision is made. Preferably, the degree should have been completed no more than three years before the application deadline. If there are special circumstances, the degree may have been completed earlier. Special circumstances include leave due to illness, parental leave, positions of trust within trade union organizations, etc. Documented experience with numerical modeling, preferably with tools such as WRF, EC-Earth, or sea ice models. Strong competence in scientific programming and computational modeling. Ability to independently drive research projects while actively contributing to collaboration in international and interdisciplinary research teams. Merits Good knowledge of Linux/Unix environments and strong expertise in Python and Bash scripting are highly desirable. Candidates are encouraged to actively contribute with their own ideas, methods, and perspectives to the project. We especially value creativity, engagement, and strong research capabilities. About the Position This is a fixed-term position for 2 years. Full-time. Start date: November 1, 2026, or by agreement. Location: Uppsala. For additional information about the position, contact: Lichuan Wu, [email protected]. Welcome to submit your application by September 3, 2026, UFV-PA 2026/2421.
