The Climate Dynamics section at the Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar
and Marine Research (AWI) in Bremerhaven, Germany, is seeking to appoint
as early as possible a
Scientist
with a background in climate research, oceanography, meteorology or physics.
Background and tasks: Research will be performed within the framework of
a project on medium range climate forecasting (Mittelfristige
Klimaprognosen, 'MiKlip') funded by the German ministry for education
and research (BMBF).The focus will be on atmosphere-sea-ice-ocean
interactions in the Arctic and their role for decadal climate
predictions. The scientist will be responsible for modifying and running
a global coupled climate model consisting of the atmosphere model ECHAM
and the finite element sea-ice ocean model FESOM. A suite of experiments
with and without regional mesh refinement in the Arctic will be carried
out in close collaboration with members of the group.The successful
applicant will be responsible for adjusting the computational mesh,
setting up and tuning the system, running the experiments on
supercomputers, securing computing resources, optimizing the code,
analyzing the results, participation in scientific conferences and

The Institute of Environmental Physics (IUP) at the University of Bremen
has been working on remote sensing of atmospheric composition from
satellite observations since 1995. IUP is one of the leading
institutions in the new area of satellite remote sensing of the
important greenhouse gases carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4). IUP
currently extends these activities especially in view of the planned
future satellite mission CarbonSat. A new focus is modeling of
atmospheric greenhouse gas distributions and inverse modeling of CO2 and
CH4 surface fluxes (emissions). In this context a new modeling group has
recently been established. The PhD student shall develop methods to
interpret existing data (e.g., SCIAMACHY, GOSAT) and to analyze
simulated data of future missions (CarbonSat) using modeling and inverse
modeling techniques.
