<p><font size="+1">The Institute for Geophysics and Meteorology at
the University of Cologne (UoC) in Germany invites applications
for a <br>
<br>
<font size="+2">PhD Graduate Research Position in Meteorology</font><br>
<br>
This research position is part of the InScAPE research group (<a

moz-do-not-send="true">http://gop.meteo.uni-koeln.de/inscape/</a>)
led by Prof. Roel Neggers. This DFG-funded research project aims
to characterize and understand the geometric and spatial
structure of cumulus cloud populations in high, unprecedented
detail using a new stereo camera network at our JOYCE site in
Jülich (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="http://joyce.cloud" moz-do-not-send="true">http://joyce.cloud</a>),
in combination with high-resolution cloud-resolving simulations
with the ICON-LEM model. We are looking for a model enthusiast
to conduct the simulations on a supercomputer and to
cross-compare the model results with stereo camera data and<b> </b>satellite
data. Subsequently this information will be used to improve the
representation of cumulus clouds in weather and climate models.
The work will be conducted in collaboration with scientists at
the Meteorological Institute of the University of Bonn.</font></p>
<p><font size="+1">The University of Cologne is situated in an
attractive region in Germany due to a vivid cultural and
international scene, as well as the proximity to various natural
parks. With approximately 50,000 students, the University of
Cologne is one of the largest universities in Germany and ranks
among the Excellence Universities. It employs over 600
professors and 7,000 academic and non-academic staff.</font></p>
<p><font size="+1">Applicants should have a master’s degree in
meteorology or in another related field of the natural sciences
(geophysics, physics, mathematics). Experience in the following
areas is highly recommended:<br>
<br>
• Geophysical fluid dynamical modeling, in particular
Large-Eddy Simulation (LES)<br>
• Comparing high-resolution model output with meteorological
measurements<br>
• Supercomputing<br>
• Scientific programming (F90, C, Python, shell scripting)<br>
• UNIX/LINUX operating systems</font></p>
<p><font size="+1">We expect a good command of written and oral
English, the willingness to present research results at
scientific conferences, and the ability to collaborate with
others. We offer you:</font></p>
<p><font size="+1"> • A diverse and fair working environment<br>
• Support in reconciling work and family life<br>
• Flexible working time models, full-time positions suitable
for job sharing<br>
• Extensive advanced training opportunities<br>
• Occupational health management offers<br>
• Local transport ticket at a discount for UoC employees</font></p>
<p><font size="+1">The position is awarded for maximally three
years, including a 6-month probationary period. If the applicant
meets the relevant wage requirements and personal
qualifications, the salary is based on remuneration group TVL-13
(75%) of the pay scale for the German public sector. The
University of Cologne promotes equal opportunities and diversity
in its employment relations. Women are expressly encouraged to

<p><font size="+1">Interested candidates should send a complete
application package (CV; motivation letter describing
background, training and research interests matching the
position; degree certificates; and contact information of two
references) as a single PDF to Roel Neggers (<a
