Subject: New position in Gravity Wave Research Unit at Max Planck Institute
for Meteorology
To: Schmidt Hauke <hauke.schmidt at mpimet.mpg.de>


The Max Planck Institute for Meteorology (MPI-M) is a multidisciplinary
centre for climate research located in Hamburg, Germany. It has an
internationally recognised reputation in climate modelling. Within the DFG
project GWING (Gravity Wave Interactions in the Global Atmosphere) part of
the MS-GWaves (Multi-Scale Dynamics of Gravity Waves) Research Unit, we are
looking for a


*Postdoctoral Scientist (m/f; W048)*
with a strong background in atmospheric modelling and analysis, numerical
mathematics, or computational science. Within the department "The
Atmosphere in the Earth System", the successful applicant will work with
the atmospheric general circulation model ICON.


*Responsibilities:*
His/her tasks will be the further development and analysis of a gravity
wave (GW) permitting version of ICON covering the atmosphere from the
surface to the lower thermosphere. The analysis should focus on the role of
GWs for sudden stratospheric warmings and for circulation changes under
climate change. The task will be performed in close collaboration with
partners from the German weather service (DWD) and several other German
research institutions.
More information on the project is provided at https://ms-gwaves.iau.uni-f

*Qualifications/Experience*

A PhD in meteorology, oceanography, physics, applied mathematics or
computational science is required for this position.  Previous
experience in the application of numerical methods to solve PDEs and
modelling of atmospheric dynamics is of advantage. The applicant
