[ES_JOBS_NET] Open Postdoc and PhD-student positions on mineral dust at KIT, Germany

[Martina Klose]

Dear Colleagues,

We are inviting applications for *two open positions* at the Karlsruhe 
Institute of Technology (*KIT*), Institute of Meteorology and Climate 
Research - Department Troposphere Research (*IMK-TRO*). As a part of my 
new Helmholtz Young Investigator Group "Mineral dust", we are offering:

A *3-year position for a doctoral student *with background in 
meteorology, physics or a related field, ideally with programming 
skills, previous experience in numerical modeling and/or the field of 
dust/aerosol research;

/The doctoral student will investigate the link between turbulent 
atmospheric forcing and soil mineral dust emission. She/he is expected 
to participate in multi-institutional field measurements in Morocco, and 
to set up and run the model ICON-ART for the field conditions. Using 
observational data, model experiments, and theoretical knowledge, she/he 
will study the behavior of suspended particles depending on their size 
shortly after emission. The successful candidate will work closely with 
national and international collaborators./

Start date: 01 November 2020 or as soon as possible thereafter

Supervision: Dr. Martina Klose; Co-supervision: Prof. Dr. Peter Knippertz

_Apply for this position_ following the directions in this link:

A *4-year position for a postdoctoral researcher* with background in 
meteorology, physics or a related field, programming skills, and ideally 
with previous experience in the field of dust/aerosol research, 
numerical modeling, and/or remote sensing.

/The postdoctoral researcher will work on modeling the mineral dust 
cycle and its impacts with focus on the lower boundary conditions for 
dust modeling. She/he will develop and test methods to better exploit 
high-resolution remote sensing data in models and study the impact of 
land-surface heterogeneity on the simulated dust cycle using the 
ICON-ART modeling system. She/he will contribute to quantifying the 
impact of mineral dust on the Earth-atmosphere system and to estimating 
its importance compared to other aerosol types. The successful candidate 
will have the opportunity to gain experience in the co-supervision of 
students and to contribute to teaching./

Start date: 01 November 2020 or as soon as possible thereafter

Supervision: Dr. Martina Klose; Co-supervision: Prof. Dr. Corinna Hoose

_Apply for this position_ following the direction in this link: 
https://www.pse.kit.edu/karriere/joboffer.php?id=44704&language=en


*Review of applications* for both positions will start on *September 
17th, 2020*. The call for applications will remain open until the 
positions are filled.

Please don't hesitate to contact me directly (martina.klose at bsc.es) 
should you have any questions.

Kind regards, Martina Klose
