<FONT FACE="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:11pt'>Dear WRF users,<BR>
<BR>
I would like to draw your attention to a Wind Energy PhD Fellowship at Risoe <BR>
Technical University of Denmark, Denmark. More details below. <BR>
<BR>
Wake effects of large offshore wind farms - a study of mesoscale atmosphere <BR>
and ocean feedbacks<BR>
<BR>
The Wind Energy Division at Risø DTU, Technical University of Denmark,<BR>
is seeking a PhD fellow (student) to investigate the effects of<BR>
large-scale wind farms on regional weather and climate. The project<BR>
will develop techniques for upscaling the effects simulated by turbine<BR>
and wind farm wake models into mesocale atmospheric PBL<BR>
parameterizations and perform simulations using these<BR>
parameterizations to understand the feedbacks between the wind farms<BR>
and the regional wind climate. Candidates should hold a Master degree<BR>
in meteorology/physics/engineering or similar educational level. A<BR>
theoretical background in boundary layer meteorology is<BR>
desirable. Previous experience with scientific programming,<BR>
computational modeling (in particular mesoscale modeling) and Linux<BR>
systems would be considered an advantage. Experience with the ARW-WRF<BR>
model is a plus.<BR>
<BR>
This PhD position is associated with the Marie Curie Initial Training <BR>
Programme, WAUDIT. As part of the WAUDIT project, the PhD fellow will<BR>
be involved in an international network of young researchers, all<BR>
working within the general field of wind resource<BR>
assessment. Applicants for this Fellowship should not be Danish<BR>
nationals or have lived in Denmark for more than 1 year out of the<BR>
last 3 years. We must have your online application by 1 March 2010.<BR>
