The successful candidate will work with Prof. Axel Timmermann and Dr. Eui-Seok Chung to analyze our existing global high-resolution global warming CESM simulations (25 km atmosphere, 10 km ocean resolution) in terms of changes in Arctic and Antarctic sea ice, sea-ice frontal interactions, polar amplification, clouds and ocean currents.

The IBS Center for Climate Physics (ICCP), (http://iccp.ibs.re.kr http://iccp.ibs.re.kr/) directed by Dr. Axel Timmermann, is dedicated to advancing the understanding of natural climate variability, man-made climate change and their impacts on the hydrological cycle, regional processes, ice-sheets, and sea level. The ICCP is generously funded through the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) (http://ibs.re.kr http://ibs.re.kr/). ICCP is located in Busan, the second largest city in South Korea and the ninth largest port city in the world. Surrounded by ocean and mountains, the city has a dramatic natural background. From designer cafes, international movie and art festivals, award-winning restaurants to temples at the end of hiking trails, Busan has something to offer for everyone.
