[ES_JOBS_NET] Postdoc position within the Transregional Collaborative Research Center “Waves to Weather”

[Corinna Hoose]

Our ability to predict the weather up to a week or more ahead saves our
societies billions of Euros annually and protects human life and 
property. The
great challenge today is to identify the limits of weather predictability in
different situations and produce the best forecasts that are physically
possible.

On July 1st 2015, the Transregional Collaborative Research Center “Waves to
Weather” (W2W; SFB/TRR165) was established to address these issues and to
deliver the underpinning science urgently needed to pave the way towards 
a new
generation of weather forecasting systems. The W2W consortium consists of:
- the Ludwig-Maximilians-University (LMU, Munich)
- the Johannes Gutenberg-University (JGU, Mainz)
- the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), together with
- the Technische Universität München (TUM)
- the Heidelberg University, and
- the Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt (DLR, Munich).

One more position has been added to the ongoing recruitment process:

* Postdoc position in Project B1 “Microphysical Uncertainties in Deep 
Convective Clouds and their
Implications for Data Assimilation" (Advisors: Dr. Bernhard Vogel and PD 
Dr. Michael Kunz, KIT; PI: Prof. Dr. Corinna Hoose)

The position is offered with a fixed-term employment contract until June 
2019. The contract is time-limited
