The Max Planck Institute for Meteorology (MPI-M) is a multidisciplinary
center for climate and Earth system research located in Hamburg,
Germany. The Max Planck Institute for Meteorology contributes to the
ComparCE project funded by the DFG (German Science foundation) within
the priority program “Climate Engineering: Risks, Challenges,
Opportunities?”. With respect to this research program we have an open
position for a
Scientist/Postdoc in climate modeling/data analysis (m/f-2013-09)
The main aim of the project is an objective and comprehensive assessment
of the potential impacts, side-effects and uncertainties of various
climate engineering (CE) measures and emission-reduction efforts. To
achieve a fair comparison of different CE measures, these will be
simulated in a single state-of-the art Earth system model (ESM).
The successful candidate will contribute to the project by: (i)
performing and analyzing numerical simulations of different CE
techniques (both land and stratosphere based) with the MPI-ESM; (ii)
providing model output to the project partner GEOMAR, Kiel; (iii)
comparing sensitivities of CE impacts as simulated by the MPI-ESM and an
intermediate complexity model operated by GEOMAR. The project will be
performed in close co-operation of all three departments of the MPI-M
with German and international project partners.
Requirements:
-PhD degree in physics, mathematics, meteorology, or environmental sciences;
-Experience in modeling biogeophysical processes on a global or
large-regional scale;
-Familiarity with coding and running computer models, programming skills
in FORTRAN or C on a UNIX platform;
-Strong motivation and ability to carry out research in an
interdisciplinary and international environment.
For further information, please contact Hauke Schmidt
(hauke.schmidt(at)zmaw.de) or Christian Reick
(christian.reick(at)zmaw.de). Applications should be forwarded to the
address indicated below.
The position is available from 1 June 2013 for a period of 24 months.
Employment in part time work for the duration of three years is
possible. Payment will be in accordance with a civil service position
(TVoeD E13), including extensive social security plans. 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 staff members and encourages applications
from women. Handicapped persons with comparable qualifications receive
preferential consideration.
The deadline for submitting applications is 31 May 2013. Please submit a
letter of interest, curriculum vitae, and the names, addresses, and
telephone numbers of two references via Email to: <[email protected]>
(max. 5 MB pdf-attachment), or by mail to:
Max Planck Institute for Meteorology
