PhD position in Atmospheric Modelling at the IGMK – University of 
Cologne, Germany

The Atmospheric Modelling group (Prof. Yaping Shao) at the Institute for 
Geophysics and Meteorology at the University of Cologne (Germany) is 
offering a PhD position for 3 years starting in Fall 2016, within the 
Collaborative Research Center SFB1211 “Earth – Evolution at the Dry 
Limit”. The project title is “Development of an Aeolian-Biogenic model”.

We offer a productive and interdisciplinary working atmosphere including 
several possibilities for career development. The salary is based on the 
German E13 TV-L scale (75% time position) if terms and conditions under 
collective bargaining law are fulfilled.

Job description: The doctoral candidate will develop a module for 
quantifying the aeolian-biogenic interactions. Of particular importance 
is to quantify the strength and thickness of the biogenic crust, and to 
derive adequate parameterizations of these quantities as a function of 
environmental control parameters. At the same time the inhibition of 
aeolian erosion by the presence of crusts, as well as the effects of 
dust erosion and deposition on the formation of crusts will be 
considered. All these ingredients will be cast in a set of partial 
differential equations. The simulations will be extensively compared 
against observations from the literature and from the field and remote 
sensing campaigns within SFB 1211.

Requirements: We expect strong interest in atmospheric science with 
specialization in atmospheric and surface modeling. Applicants should 
have a Master-of-Science-equivalent university degree in meteorology, 
geophysics, physics or mathematics. Experience in scientific 
programming, preferably in a UNIX/LINUX environment, and knowledge in 
computational modelling is highly desirable. Candidates must possess 
excellent communication skills both in written and spoken English.

Applications: Interested candidates should send a CV; a cover letter 
describing background, training and research interests; certificates; 
and the contact information of two referees as a single PDF to 
meteo-jobs at uni‐koeln.de. Please clearly indicate which position you 
apply for. Review of
applications will begin immediately and continue until September 30, 2016.

Postdoc position in Atmospheric Modelling at the IGMK – University of 
Cologne, Germany

The Atmospheric Modelling group (Prof. Yaping Shao) at the Institute for 
Geophysics and Meteorology at the University of Cologne (Germany) is 
offering a Postdoc position for 4 years starting in Summer/Fall 2016, 
within the Collaborative Research Center SFB1211 “Earth – Evolution at 
the Dry Limit”. The project title is “Development and application of a 
Statistic-Dynamic Aeolian-Biogenic Model”.

We offer a productive and interdisciplinary working atmosphere including 
several possibilities for career development. The salary is based on the 
German E13 TV-L scale if terms and conditions under collective 
bargaining law are fulfilled.

Job description: The postdoc will perform high-resolution atmospheric 
simulations over the Atacama with the Weather Research and Forecast 
(WRF) regional model for present-day and paleoclimate conditions. Those 
simulations will be integrated within a Statistic-Dynamic 
Aeolian-Biogenic Model (SDABM). The dynamical core will consist of 
existing atmospheric and aeolian modules, as well as a new biogenic 
module to be developed in parallel within our research group. The 
statistical component consists in the identification of climate modes 
and frequency via Empirical Orthogonal Functions, the dynamic core 
simulations for each climate mode, and the recombination of modes to 
determine the climatologies. The simulations will be extensively 
compared against modern and paleoclimate data from the literature and 
from the field and remote sensing campaigns within SFB 1211.

Requirements: We expect strong interest in atmospheric science with 
specialization in global/regional
modelling of the atmosphere. Applicants should have a 
Master-of-Science-equivalent university degree in meteorology, 
geophysics, physics or mathematics and preferably hold a PhD degree. 
Experience in scientific programming, preferably in a UNIX/LINUX 
environment, and knowledge in computational modelling is highly 
desirable. Candidates must possess excellent communication skills both 
in written and spoken English.

Applications: Interested candidates should send a CV; a cover letter 
describing background, training and research interests; certificates; 
and the contact information of two referees as a single PDF to 
meteo-jobs at uni‐koeln.de. Please clearly indicate which position you 
apply for. Review of
applications will begin immediately and continue until August 15, 2016. 
The selected
candidate is expected to start as soon as possible.
