The Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) and its Institute of
Meteorology and Climate Research/Atmospheric Environmental Research
(KIT/IMK-IFU) in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany, invites applications
to the open PhD position in
?Effects of climate change and stress events on emissions of biogenic
volatile organic compounds from plants ?
We seek a Ph.D. student to address effects of multiple abiotic stresses
(e.g., temperature, water, nutrients) on BVOC emissions under different
levels of ambient CO_2 . Effects of biotic stress may also be explored.
The experimental work will be conducted on plants grown in the
climate-controlled greenhouse facility of the KIT Institute of
Meteorology and Climate Research/Atmospheric Environmental Research
inGarmisch-Partenkirchen.
The work will combine on-line measurements of leaf photosynthesis,
transpiration and BVOC emissions, with sampling of BVOC on adsorbent
tubes for later analysis in the laboratory, using gas-chromatography and
mass-spectrometer systems.
The results will contribute to the further development of process-based
mathematical models of BVOC emissions in global vegetation models that
are used to scale emission-responses in space and time, and to link
these to models of atmospheric chemistry and climate.
The project is done in close collaboration with theUniversity
ofInnsbruck, as well as with a number of other institutions inEurope.
The appointee must be willing to visit partner institutions, and have
very good spoken and written skills in communicating
in the English language.
We offer a position in a young and active team that is placed within a
multi-disciplinary, collaborative research environment with excellent
research infrastructure and support.
We are well connected to national and international research programmes.
Salary and benefits will be based on the Collective Agreement for the
German Public Service Sector.
The Ph.D. position will be for a maximum period of three years.
Requirements:
?M.Sc. degree in a quantitative environmental sciences discipline, for
instance meteorology, environmental physics, -biology, or -engineering.
Applications from candidates who are close to completion of their M.Sc.
degree will also be considered
?Aptitude to learn, understand and work with complex analytical
instruments (mass-spectrometers, leaf gas-exchange systems), and to
contribute to the instrument maintenance and calibration
?Experience in data-analysis and statistical software and in processing
measurement results; good quantitative skills to synthesise results for
development of process-based mathematical algorithms
?Sense of responsibility, ability to meet deadlines, enjoyment of
working within a multi-disciplinary team
For details and application procedure, please see

Open PostDoc position
at Theoretical Cloud Physics Group, Institute for Atmospheric Physics,
Johannes Gutenberg-University Mainz, Germany
Ice processes in clouds - investigations using multiscale asymptotics
Project summary:
This project is part of the new initiative "HD(CP)2: High definition
clouds and precipitation for advancing climate prediction" of the German
Ministry for Education and Research (BMBF), which is dedicated to
theoretical investigations and high-resolution climate modelling
(spatial resolution of order O(100 m)) aiming at advanced
parametrisations for the representation of clouds and precipitation in
coarser models.
In this project ice processes in clouds will be investigated using
methods of multiscale asymptotics. For this purpose, equations for
dynamics in atmospheric flows will be coupled with cloud microphysics
including the ice phase. In the course of the asymptotic analysis,
characteristic length and time scales and associated dominant processes
on these scales will be identified. The new findings and related reduced
sets of equations will be applied for some typical situations, essential
for our understanding of processes and feedbacks in clouds containing
ice particles.
This project is collaboration between Johannes Gutenberg University
Mainz (Prof. Peter Spichtinger) and Freie Universitaet Berlin (Prof.
Rupert Klein), the position is located at Johannes Gutenberg University
Mainz, Germany.
This project has a duration of 3 years, starting preferably in January
2013. The salary for this position will be 100% E13 TVL.
Required qualifications are:
- PhD in meteorology/atmospheric physics (theoretical meteorology),
applied mathematics (mathematical modelling) or engineering (theoretical
fluid dynamics)
- Experience in a higher programming language
- Interest in interaction of dynamics and cloud processes
Desirable qualifications would be:
- Experience in asymptotic analysis and/or
- Modelling of moist processes, including ice phase
Applications with CV and names of 2-3 references should be sent via
email to Prof. Peter Spichtinger (<spichtin@uni-mainz.de>) and Prof.
Rupert Klein (<rupert.klein@math.fu-berlin.de>). Applications will be
screened immediately until the position is filled.
