Postdoc opportunity in Antarctic Sea Ice Observing Systems at the Alfred Wegener Institute, Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research, in collaboration with the University of Hamburg through the joint research group #SNOWflAke . This position is part of the Horizon Europe project SYNCHRONY and the international Antarctica InSync initiative. The research focuses on advancing Antarctic sea ice observing networks using autonomous ice-tethered platform observations, satellite data, and model data. Research themes include developing regional and seasonal sea ice thickness and snow depth climatologies, identifying observational gaps and optimal deployment strategies, and investigating links between sea ice, atmosphere, and ocean forcing. The successful candidate will contribute to recommendations for a harmonized and sustainable Antarctic sea ice observing system. Ideal applicants should have an interest in Antarctic sea ice, observations, data analysis, and the future Southern Ocean observing system. The post is clearly research-oriented and suited to candidates with a strong background or motivation in polar science, geoscience, and quantitative analysis. Interested candidates should apply via the linked posting. The announcement does not specify a deadline or funding details in the text provided.
