CEDAR email: Postdoc position in Kyushu University, Japan

[Huixin Liu]

Dear colleagues,

We invite applications for a full-time postdoc position to work on a Japan-Germany joint project about “Wave coupling processes of the middle and upper atmosphere: Interannual and long-term variability”. This research project is jointly funded by Japan JSPS and German DFG science foundations in the framework of JSPS-DFG cooperation program. Successful candidate will have the opportunity to closely work with partner institutes in both countries.

1.	Field of research: Middle Atmosphere Physics or Theremosphere-Ionosphere Physics

2.	Job responsibilities:
-	To examine the long-term variability in tides and gravity waves using a combination of LEO satellites and long-term ground meteor radar network and multi-year whole atmosphere model (GAIA) simulations.
-	To investigate the physical mechanisms pertaining to wave coupling at interannual and long-term scales by using whole atmosphere model simulations.

3.	 Requirements
-	Doctor degree in Atmosphere Physics or Space Physics
-	Expertise in study of MLT region dynamics and its coupling to the upper atmosphere 
-	Experiences and skills in analyzing big datasets of satellite and ground-based radar observations

4.	Contract period:  
April, 1, 2020 – Mar. 31 2021, but can be extended to Feb 28, 2022 based on performance evaluation.

5.	 Salary:
Will be determined according to Kyushu University’s regulations based on experiences.

6.	Application materials required:
a.	CV (free format but with photo and birthday)
b.	A list of publications
c.	3 major publications in PDF format
d.	2 Recommendation letters

7.	Application deadline: Feb. 15, 2020
