The Max Planck Institute for Meteorology (MPI-M) is a multidisciplinary
center for climate and Earth system research located in Hamburg, Germany. It
has an internationally recognized reputation in climate modelling. The MPI-M,
in cooperation with partners throughout Germany, is proud to announce a new
initiative on High Definition Clouds and Precipitation for Climate
Prediction, HD(CP)2. In support of this initiative, up to fifty scientists
are sought, with expertise spanning a wide range of topics, from meteorology
to climate science, from computational fluid dynamics to high performance
computing, from remote sensing to data integration and coordination.
HD(CP)2 has three components: (i) to develop the capacity to simulate climate
processes using the next generation earth-system model, ICON, at grid
resolutions of hundreds of meters, over large areas such as northwest Europe;
(ii) to integrate data from observational sites around northwest Europe for
the evaluation of these simulations; (iii) to develop techniques for using
the results from these simulations to develop state-of-the-art
parameterizations for use in conventional climate models. The simulations
performed through the HD(CP)2 initiative are expected to be among the most
advanced, and most computationally demanding, of any simulations performed
world-wide, and provide opportunities to work at the exciting interface
between state of the art high-performance computing and numerical simulations
of clouds and convection, on some of the most profound and pressing questions
in all of climate science.
In support of the HD(CP)2 initiative the MPI-M intends to fill six open
positions to begin after October 1st 2012:
Project Coordinator (m/f) ? SAS2012-03 ?
This individual will provide the day-to-day lead, and will work to support
the HD(CP)2 scientific steering committee in the coordination of the overall
project. The project coordinator will organize project meetings and will be
responsible for managing communication and reporting to the funding agency.
Prerequisites for the position include excellent organizational and
communication skills, fluency in written and spoken German and English, a
track record of research on HD(CP)2 related topics, as well as a Ph.D. in
meteorology, oceanography, physics, or related fields. An interest in the
management and coordination of large scientific projects, and a willingness
to travel to meet with project partners throughout Germany, is also desired.
4 Scientist/Postdocs (m/f) ? SAS2012-04 (i-iv) ?
Individuals with a PhD in Meteorology or a related field, interest and
expertise in high-resolution numerical simulations of clouds and convection
are sought. Scholars with a track record of accomplishments using large-eddy
or cloud resolving simulations and with experience working in
high-performance computing environments are particularly desired.
The four positions respectively focus on: (i) The development of very
high-resolution benchmarking simulations, including sensitivity studies
centred around the representation of cloud microphysical processes, using
standard large-eddy simulation techniques over idealized domains; (ii) the
development of new methods for representing ice microphysical processes in
high-resolution simulations; (iii) the implementation and testing of
sub-grid-scale processes, especially microphysical processes, within the
HD(CP)2 model; (iv) the model development lead, or master HD(CP)2 model
user who will help oversee the model development, and be involved in the
routine testing, development and evaluation of the prototype simulations.
For each of the above positions, but particularly for position (iv), an
ability to communicate effectively with other model developers and experts in
high-performance computing is also desired. For all the positions excellent
programming skills (Fortran), and an ability and desire to work as part of a
team to help maintain a clean, robust, and flexible source code are essential
skills, as are the ability to communicate effectively in spoken and written
English.
1 Scientist/Postdoc (m/f) ? SAS2012-08 ?
An individual with a PhD in applied mathematics, computational fluid
dynamics, meteorology, oceanography, engineering or related fields is sought
to develop and implement interface tracking methods in a large-scale model
using level set techniques. Excellent programming skills, and an ability to
communicate effectively in spoken and written English is desired. A proven
track record in mathematical methods related to the numerical solution of
partial differential equations is required.
The Max Planck Institute for Meteorology (MPI-M) is located in the heart of
Hamburg, Germany, one of Europe?s most liveable and vibrant cities. The MPI-M
provides a highly international and interdisciplinary environment for
conducting scientific research as well as access to state of the art
scientific facilities. For further information, including a more detailed
description of the open positions, or a more detailed description of the
HD(CP)2 project as a whole, please contact Bjorn Stevens
(bjorn.stevens(at)mpimet.mpg.de). Applications should be forwarded to the
address indicated below.
The open positions are initially offered for two years, with the possibility
and expectation of extension to a third year dependent on a successful
mid-term review. Payment will be in accordance with experience following the
German public service positions (TVoeD E13/14), which include extensive
social security plans. The conditions of employment, including upgrades and
duration, follow the rules of the Max Planck Society for the Advancement of
Sciences and those of the German civil service. The Max Planck Institute for
Meteorology seeks to increase the number of female scientist and encourages
them to apply. Handicapped persons with comparable qualifications receive
preferential status.
The selection process will start on 1. September 2012 and will continue until
the positions are filled. Successful candidates are expected to start before
the end of the year. Please submit a letter of interest, curriculum vitae,
and the names, addresses, and telephone numbers of at least two references
via E-Mail: jobs@vw.mpimet.mpg.de (1 pdf-attachment with max. 5 MB only), or
by post to:
Max Planck Institute for Meteorology
