Candidates will work closely with Prof. G. Hilmar Gudmundsson and become part of a sizeable group of researchers at the peak of excellence The Future of Ice on Earth at Northumbria University.

Successful candidates will have a PhD in either Physics or Mathematics, or in a related discipline such as Physical Oceanography, Geophysics or Earth Sciences, or have demonstrable specialist expert knowledge in numerical modelling of icesheets. The post will commence in fall 2023, with 1st of Sept being the target date.
