The Faculty of Science of University of Helsinki invites applications for POST-DOCTORAL RESEARCHER OR UNIVERSITY RESEARCHER in atmospheric sciences starting latest in January 2027 in a fixed-term initial contract of two years Background The post-doctoral researcher/university researcher will be working on the EU’s Destination Earth Climate Change Adaptation Digital Twin Project, Phase 3 (https://destine.ecmwf.int/), where INAR is a contributing member. The Climate DT project is setting up an operational simulation framework that enables to produce bespoke climate and impact-sector information, combining global kilometer-scale climate models (IFS-NEMO, IFS-FESOM, and ICON) in a unified operational workflow producing both multi-decadal climate projections and storyline simulations. Within Climate DT, the present research task focuses on evaluation of Climate DT simulation quality via direct use of raw Earth observations. The UH team has developed an approach, where simulation data is projected into observation-space quantities while the workflow is active, enabling both run-time reality check and rigorous posterior evaluation of the operational simulations. This novelty is implemented into the integrated workflow and the UH team has therefore access to evaluation material that is very informative about the fine-scale details of modelled versus observed km-scale processes. The post-doctoral researcher will explore into this virgin evaluation material with hands-on and contribute to creating new insights into the systematic errors of the Climate DT models and how they affect the adaptation information, developing new methods to utilize the unique material, and also maintain and further develop the observation projection workflow system within Climate DT. Tasks may also include integration of new observation types into the system, in addition to the present synoptic surface observations, radiosoundings, and AMSU-A space-based radiance data. The post-doctoral researcher will work in the dynamic meteorology research group at INAR, led by Professor Heikki Järvinen. The group is active in topics such as atmospheric convection, extra-tropical cyclones, and ensemble prediction including algorithmic parameter estimation. The group’s main modelling tool in research and teaching is OpenIFS of ECMWF. Research within the Climate DT involves participation in and traveling to meetings in Europe, such as at ECMWF, BSC, and AWI. University of Helsinki is seeking for a motivated candidate with a doctoral degree in relevant field regarding the background description of the position and with demonstrated skills in weather and climate modelling, model evaluation, global observing systems, and high-performance computing – the better your profile overlaps with these domains, the higher you rank at the evaluation step. What are we looking for The candidate is expected to be eager to pursue hands-on research using simulation data from the top-tier climate models  develop observation-based evaluation methods for exposing model biases related to local-scale physical process representations  think “out-of-the-box”, since there is no precedence for observation-projection in climate modelling  ideally bring complementary expertise and/or networks that the group may be presently missing The candidate must have excellent skills in written and spoken English, Python-language and scripting as well as Linux and HPC environments. Previous experience in model evaluation, statistical data analysis, and machine learning are seen as advantages. The position involves attending international conferences and presenting scientific or technical work in local and international meetings.  A postdoctoral researcher should have a doctoral degree in atmospheric sciences or another relevant field. A university researcher should a doctoral degree in atmospheric sciences or another relevant field, evidence of active publication in recent years and demonstration of other scholarly activity, such as evidence of independent research. The post-doctoral researcher/university researcher position starts the latest in January 2027, or, as soon as the position is filled. The position is initially for two years with a possibility of renewal. The employment contract will include a probationary period of six months.
