PostDoc in Snow Isotope Modelling 80-100%, (f/m/d)

Job description

The WSL Institute for Snow and Avalanche Research SLF is part of the Swiss Federal Institute for Forest, Snow and Landscape Research WSL and thus of the ETH Domain. WSL focuses on the sustainable use and protection of the environment and on the handling of natural hazards. WSL employs approximately 600 people, of whom 180 work at SLF in Davos. PostDoc in Snow Isotope Modelling 80-100%, (f/m/d) The Research Unit «Snow and Atmosphere» investigates snow and its interactions with the hydro- und atmosphere across different scales, with the aim to improve our understanding of the role of snow in the climate system. Within our Snow Physics group, we are looking for a In a project funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNF), we are investigating the impact of the newly discovered process of airborne snow metamorphism (ASM) on the physical properties and isotopic composition of polar snow. In this 2-year PostDoc, you will develop and implement new model equations describing the evolution of snow microstructure and isotope signals during wind-driven snow transport. Parameterizing these processes based on laboratory and Antarctic field data and integrating them into the coupled atmo...
