group of Prof. Christian Franzke.

The PhD position is part of of National Research Fund of Korea funded 
Global Basic Research Lab in collaboration with Profs. June-Yi Lee 
(PNU), Whanhee Lee (PNU) and Youngmin Yang (Nanjing, China) on near-term 
Earth system predictability and planetary health.

The successful candidate will have the opportunity to work on topics 
such as Earth system change and predictability, weather and climate 
risks, modeling the impacts of extremes on society, ecosystems and the 
economy.

Your profile
     • Be excited to work on new and interdisciplinary research subjects
     • A high level of curiosity and creativity
     • Good communication skills in English
     • Ability to work both independently and as part of a team
     • Experience in data analysis
     • Experience in scientific programming (e.g. Fortran, R, Python) on 
UNIX/LINUX systems
     • Degree in Meteorology, Oceanography, Statistics, Mathematics, 
Physics or a related field

We offer
     • A stimulating research environment
     • The opportunity to work on cutting edge science questions
     • An interdisciplinary PhD program
     • Opportunities for developing academic and professional skills
     • Competitive financial support (Conference travel and research 
stays abroad)

Interested candidates should send a complete application package (CV; 
motivation letter describing background, training and research interests 
matching the position; degree certificates; and contact information of 
two references) as a single PDF file to Prof. Christian Franzke 
(christian.franzke at pusan.ac.kr).

Applications should be submitted before 8th September 2024.
The start date for the PhD position is the academic spring term starting 
on 1st March 2025.

About the Center for Climate Physics: (https://ibsclimate.org/)
The IBS Center for Climate Physics (ICCP), directed by Prof. Axel 
Timmermann, is dedicated to advancing the understanding of natural 
climate variability, man-made climate change and their impacts on the 
hydrological cycle, regional processes, ice-sheets, and sea level. The 
ICCP is generously funded through the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) 
(http://ibs.re.kr). ICCP is located in Busan, the second largest city in 
South Korea and the ninth largest port city in the world. Surrounded by 
the ocean and mountains, the city has a dramatic natural background. 
 From designer cafes, international movie and art festivals, 
award-winning restaurants to temples at the end of hiking trails, Busan 
has something to offer for everyone.


About the Department of the Climate System: 
(http://climatesystem.pusan.ac.kr)
The Department of the Climate System was established to educate the next 
generation of scientists in integrated climate system science. The 
department combines physical climate science with socio-economic 
aspects, with a particular emphasis on urban areas. Students have the 
opportunity to learn about the underlying dynamics, interactions and 
predictability of the atmosphere, hydrosphere, cryosphere, and biosphere 
and its interactions with society by using multi-disciplinary 
approaches. Students have the opportunity to take classes in a wide 
variety of topics such as atmospheric sciences, oceanography, geology, 
computer science, physics, chemistry, biology, statistics, urban 
engineering, humanities and social sciences including policy making.
