[ES_JOBS_NET] PostDoc in Atmospheric Chemistry Modelling in the Tropics at Goethe University Frankfurt

[Anna Possner]

We are looking for a PostDoc for the duration of four years,*starting 
from July 1*^*st* *2021, or soon thereafter.*

Recent work has demonstrated thatparticles nucleated in the upper 
troposphere may contribute considerably to cloud condensation nuclei 
(CCN) in the lower troposphere of the tropics. But where and how? If you 
interested in exploring these questions using numerical models then join 
us at Goethe University.

At Goethe University you will work with Dr. Anna Possner and Prof. 
Joachim Curtius at the Institute for Atmospheric and Environmental 
Sciences on Campus Riedberg in Frankfurt/Main. We will use passive 
tracer simulations with the ICON model at various resolutions to: (i) 
contextualise aircraft measurements obtained over the Amazon basin, and 
(ii) to understand the downward transport of newly formed particles in 
the tropics. This will include the development and evaluation of ICON 
configurations over the Amazon basin and the tropics. During this time, 
you will also be closely collaborating with the people planning, 
undertaking and analysing field measurements over the tropics during 
CAFE-BRAZIL. Further simulations with ICON-MESSy and comparisons to 
MECON simulations in collaboration with project partners are also planned.

In addition to the advisor team at Goethe University you will be 
embedded in an active and collaborative community of PostDocs and PhDs 
of the joint Transregio between Goethe University, the 
Johannes-Gutenberg University and Max Planck Institute at Mainz. To find 
out more about this and other projects visit https://tpchange.de/.

*To apply for this position you should hold (or be close to defend) a 
PhD in atmospheric modelling or atmospheric chemistry. Preference will 
be given to candidates with experience in model development, atmospheric 
chemistry, or the dynamics of the tropics. Model development, such as 
the implementation of passive tracers, is an integral part of this 
position. Proficient skill in programming languages such as Fortran and 
Python are thus an absolute necessity. In addition, previous experience 
in working with regional weather/climate models such as WRF, ICON or 
COSMO is preferable. Publication of the results in peer-reviewed 
scientific journals and presentations at international conferences are 
expected. Further funds for professional development are also available.*

Interested, or want to know more? Then please send a motivation letter, 
CV, publication list, copies of relevant certificates, preferred 
starting date, and the names of at minimum two references**as one PDF to 
Dr. Anna Possner, apossner at iau.uni-frankfurt.de. Review of all 
applications will start on*by June 15**^th **, 2021 *and will continue 
until the position is filled. For informal inquiries please contact Dr. 
Anna Possner.
