CMCC Position cod. 12829 – Postdoc researcher in ocean numerical modelling
Deadline: July 15th, 2026
Overview
Are you ready to join a dynamic research team where initiative, creativity, and scientific expertise can make a tangible impact? We are seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher for a 2‑year position focused on ocean and sea‑ice modelling using unstructured‑grid ocean models. The successful candidate will contribute to the development and application of advanced numerical modelling approaches for both global and regional ocean systems, with particular emphasis on multiscale ocean dynamics and their interaction with sea ice. The candidate will join a multidisciplinary and collaborative research environment, contributing to model development, numerical experiments, data analysis and the interpretation of simulation results.
Role
The postdoctoral researcher will report to the team leader and contribute to the development, validation, and assessment of numerical methods for a global unstructured‑mesh ocean general circulation model.
The research activities will focus on key numerical components of ocean modelling, with particular attention to the accuracy, stability and computational efficiency of the numerical methods developed.
Responsibilities
The postdoctoral researcher will contribute to some or all of the following activities:
- Contributing to the design and implementation of scale‑dependent processes, numerical schemes, parameterisations, and computational workflows for global ocean modelling applications.
- Developing, configuring, and running global ocean simulations using unstructured‑grid modelling approaches.
- Testing and evaluating model performance across different spatial resolutions and dynamical regimes.
- Analysing model outputs to investigate large‑scale and multiscale ocean dynamics, including ocean circulation, mesoscale and submesoscale processes, air‑sea interactions and ocean variability.
- Supporting model validation through c
