CEDAR email: Open Postdoc Position at the Leibniz Institute of Atmospheric Physics in Germany

[Claudia Stephan]

At the Leibniz Institute of Atmospheric Physics (IAP), a full-time position
(40h/week) in the Department “Modelling of Atmospheric Processes” is
available as 

 

Postdoctoral scientist, “Numerical modelling from ground to thermosphere”
(f/m/d) 

 

The position is offered for three years with a start date as soon as
possible. The salary is according to class EG 13 TV-L.  

 

The Department Modelling of Atmospheric Processes focuses on developing the
weather and climate model ICON for applications in the mesosphere and lower
thermosphere (MLT). The MLT extends from an altitude of approximately 50 km
to a few hundred kilometers. The highly dynamic physical processes in the
MLT are driven by solar and magnetospheric forcing from above and by
meteorological disturbances from below. The MLT layer is of increasing
societal relevance as its weather directly affects the functionality of
ground- and space-based communication and navigation systems. In addition,
it hosts a growing number of satellites that monitor weather and climate or
support critical technologies.

 

Your Tasks: 

The task of the successful candidate is to extend the lid of the current
configuration (150 km) to higher altitudes and to optimize configurations
for horizontal resolutions of kilometer-scale. This involves accounting for
increasingly complex physical processes and overcoming challenges with
numerical stability.

 

Your Qualifications / Experience: 

*         very good PhD degree in geoscience, physics, mathematics or a
related field 

*         interest in atmospheric dynamics

*         strong background in numerical modelling

*         preferably experience in modern fortran and HPC computing

*         good communication skills, ability to work autonomously and
self-responsible

*         fluency in English as working language

 

 

What we offer: 

*         an attractive working place near the Baltic Sea 

*         modern equipment 

*         engagement in an international work environment 

*         participation in the company pension scheme (VBL) 

*         employment relationship in accordance with the provisions of the
Collective Agreement for the Public Service of the Federal States (TV-L) 

*         flexible working hours and mobile working within the framework of
the applicable regulations 

*         family office

 

Who we are: Our mission is to advance the scientific knowledge of the
mesosphere and lower thermosphere by developing and exploiting expertise in
atmospheric physics, instrumentation, analysis and modelling to serve
emerging societal needs – such as questions regarding climate change. On the
regional level, we closely cooperate with the University of Rostock and are
an integral part of the teaching program of the Institute of Physics.
Further, we are networked with the research community worldwide. As an
institute of the Leibniz Association, we distinguish ourselves as a modern
and innovative employer that highly values family friendliness, equality of
opportunity and flexibility.
