Dear colleagues,
We are currently advertising two positions in ice sheet modelling at the British Antarctic Survey (closing 23/03/2026). Full details and application links can be found below.
Ice Modeller/Emulation Scientist:
This 3-year position is focused on modelling and emulating Greenland glaciers as part of the ARIA-funded GIANT project.
Ice/Ocean Modeller:
This 2-year position is focused on using a coupled ice-ocean model to assess potential tipping points in the Amundsen Sea sector of West Antarctica as part of the ISOTIPIC project.
Informal enquiries about the posts are very welcome and should be addressed to Rosie Williams (chll1@bas.ac.uk), Paul Holland (pahol@bas.ac.uk) and/or Robert Arthern (rart@bas.ac.uk).
With best wishes,
Rosie, Paul & Rob

The person to contact would probably be Phil Haygarth, who has run the trip over the past few years. His email is here: p.haygarth@lancaster.ac.uk
Dear all,
Hope you are well.
Oscar and I are first year geology undergraduates at Durham University and are fascinated by the Arctic and polar environments.
We are reaching out to enquire about potential field work opportunities in the Arctic this summer.
We would love to contribute to research about an important scientific question in this area of study. We hope this could be by providing an extra pair of hands to conduct scientific sampling and analysis. We are very happy to hike and do physical demanding work.
We would be able to fund our travel and accommodation through the Durham University Expedition Society and/or Durham college funds. The deadline for us to apply for these funds is 9th March.
With this in mind, we were wondering whether you have any ongoing or upcoming Arctic research projects that we might be able to contribute to, or could forward this email to anyone you know that is conducting fieldwork this summer?
Kind regards,
Charlie Sawkins & Oscar Billing

Dear UKPN,
Please see below two postdoctoral research opportunities at the University of Edinburgh in the topic of Greenland ice sheet-ocean interactions.
1. Postdoctoral Research Associate (2.5-year position) in Greenland Ice Sheet-ocean interaction as part of the Ice Sheet Model Intercomparison Project 7 (ISMIP7). ISMIP7 aims to establish consensus estimates of future sea level contribution from ice sheets. The postdoc will work with the Greenland ice-ocean focus group of ISMIP7 to deliver the ocean boundary conditions needed by ice sheet modelers, to analyse how the ocean around Greenland may change, and to better understand the role of the ocean in Greenland Ice Sheet mass loss. More details on ISMIP7 are at https://www.ismip.org/home and for further details and to apply https://elxw.fa.em3.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/CandidateExperience/en/sites/CX_1001/job/13674
2. Postdoctoral Research Associate (7-month position) in glacial fjord modelling as part of the Fjord Dynamics and Modulation of Ice/Ocean Exchange (FjordMIX) project. FjordMIX aims to advance understanding of ice-ocean interaction through the development of a fjord box modelling framework and its application on an ice-sheet wide scale. We now have a published box model, and the postdoc will therefore work primarily on its application in idealised or real-world settings, to quantify at a continental scale the role of fjords in ocean heat delivery to the ice and/or freshwater release to the ocean. More details on FjordMIX are at https://glaciology.wp.st-andrews.ac.uk/projects/fjordmix and https://github.com/fjord-mix/fjordrpm For further details and to apply https://elxw.fa.em3.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/CandidateExperience/en/sites/CX_1001/job/13758
The anticipated start date for both roles is 1 September 2026, but some flexibility can be offered. The closing date for both roles is 4 March.
For any questions or if you feel you need more information, contact Donald Slater at donald.slater@ed.ac.uk
As a research group, we value friendliness, community and a healthy work-life balance. Come and work on an exciting project while enjoying the delights of Edinburgh and Scotland!
