[ES_JOBS_NET] PhD position at Leipzig University: Identification of snowfall processes from ground-based in situ observations

[Maximilian Maahn]

All, 

I am looking for a PhD student (funded for 3 years at 75% of the TV-L E13 pay scale of the German public sector) in the Evaluating Microphysical Pathways Of Midlatitude Snow Formation (EMPOS) project at Leipzig University/Germany. 

The candidate will develop and apply machine learning data products for the Video In Situ Snowfall Sensor (VISSS) to identify snowfall formation processes (riming and aggregation) from in situ observations. The required data set will be collected during a field campaign at Hyytiälä, Finland. Together with a PhD student of the collaboration partner C. Hoose at KIT, the observations will be compared with the ICON (Icosahedral Nonhydrostatic) model using the advanced P3 (Predicted Particle Properties) microphysics scheme, which has a novel approach to the treatment of rimed particles. 

See attachment for details. Please let me know if you have any questions and feel free to circulate to anyone you think may be interested. 

regards, Max Maahn
