KTH
Stockholm, Sweden
Description:
KTH in Stockholm is the largest and oldest technical university in Sweden. No less than one-third of Sweden’s technical research and engineering education capacity at university level is provided by KTH. Education and research spans from natural sciences to all branches of engineering and includes architecture, industrial management and urban planning. There are a total of just over 15,000 first and second level students and more than 1,600 doctoral students. KTH has almost 4,300 employees. The School of Engineering Sciences carries out a wide range of research at the international front line, from fundamental disciplines such as physics and mathematics, to engineering mechanics with applications such as aeronautics and vehicle engineering. We also offer University degree programs in engineering Physics, Vehicle engineering, Engineering and Education, and “Open Entrance”, as well as a number of International Masters Programs as well as PhD Programs.
The Linné FLOW Centre ( www.flow.kth.se) organizes research in fundamental fluid mechanics at KTH and is one of twenty original centers of excellence set up by the Swedish Research Council (VR). The centre was established with a vision as an outstanding environment for fundamental research in fluid mechanics, where innovative research is born and future research leaders are fostered. It has become one of the internationally-leading research groups in fluid mechanics.
The project aims at enhanced knowledge on Scandinavian climate evolution and variability during the global climate transition from the last glacial maximum (LGM; ca. 21,000 years ago) to a warmer climate at the beginning of the current geological period Holocene (ca. 10,000 years ago). Within this project, the post-doc will set up, perform, and analyse global climate simulations. The project is funded by the Swedish nuclear fuel and waste management company (SKB) and is performed in collaboration with Stockholm University. In addition to the global modelling, studies of geological data for the period from the LGM to the Early Holocene will be performed at Stockholm University.
Starting date: According to agreement (November 2012-January 2013). One-year full-time post-doc position with a possibility of extension with one more year
