**PhD student in Antarctic Sea Ice Processes 80-100% (f/m/d)**:
This PhD project will be focused on quantifying the drivers and physical properties of snow and sea ice in the Ross sea, Antarctica, using a combination of field work, process-driven models and reanalysis data. The aim of this PhD is to bridge the scales between local-scale measurements and large-scale atmospheric drivers. The PhD is embedded in a larger international project, which investigates the role of Antarctic sea ice dynamics on climate and marine ecosystems.

You have a master’s degree in environmental science with a strong background in atmosphere dynamics. You are interested in the cryosphere and are enthusiastic about combining snow
- and sea ice physics with large-scale atmosphere dynamics and you would like to move to Davos.
