SCIENCE-JOBS-DE Stellenausschreibung (vacancies) ----------------------------------------------------------------------
The Max Planck Institute for Meteorology (MPI-M) conducts fundamental research focusing on climate related problems. The institute closely cooperates with the University of Hamburg, the German Climate Computing Centre (DKRZ) and the GKSS Research Centre within the Cluster of Excellence Integrated Climate System Analysis and Prediction (CliSAP). The goal is to analyze ongoing and past changes of the state of the climate system, in response to natural and human-driven perturbations, to determine predictable elements of the climate system over a broad range of space and time scales, and to determine uncertainties intrinsic to predictions of important climate system and environmental indices. Within the MPI-M department The Ocean in the Earth System we are looking for a Scientist / Postdoc (m/f) The project aims at a better understanding of the role of meso-scale oceanic eddies on the sensitivity of the ocean circulation and an assessment of the impact of these eddies on long-term climate projections. Using the coupled high-resolution ECHAM5/MPIOM GCM, oceanic eddy fluxes will be analyzed. With the aid of the analysis result, a stochastic parameterization of eddy fluxes will be developed and implemented in a coarse resolution version of the ECHAM5/MPIOM GCM. The impact of oceanic eddies on climate prediction will be studied by performing climate change integrations with the ECHAM5/MPI-OM model loaded with the previously derived stochastic parameterization. We expect an academic degree in one of the above academic subject areas plus doctoral degree in Oceanography, Meteorology or Physics. For more information please contact jin-song.von.sto...@zmaw.de The position is offered for 2 years starting 1 September 2009. Payment will be in accordance with German public service positions (TVöD E13), including extensive social security plans. The conditions of employment, including upgrades and duration, follow the rules of the Max Planck Society for the Advancement of Sciences and those of the German civil service. The Max Planck Institute for Meteorology seeks to increase the number of female scientist and encourages them to apply. Handicapped persons with comparable qualifications receive preferential status.
