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‑and 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 PostDoc in Snow Isotope Modelling.Responsibilities

In a project funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNF), 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 atmosphere‑snow model CRYOWRF will be a central part of your work. You will perform advanced numerical simulations to quantify the impact of ASM on the isotopic composition, energy and mass balance of polar regions and collaborate with international project partners to publish results in scientific journals.Qualifications

You hold a PhD degree in atmospheric sciences, physics, environmental engineering or a related field and have expertise in numerical modelling. Experience with snow or climate models, data analysis, and process parameterization is highly desirable. Good programming skills are expected. Excellent English skills are essential, German skills are beneficial. You enjoy working in an interdisciplinary team at the interface of experiments and modelling.WSL is committed to diversity and inclusion as core values. We actively promote equality and foster an open, inclusive work environment. Location: Flüelastrasse 11, CH‑7260 Davos Dorf
