Grade 7: ?29,541 ? ?36,298 pa
Fixed term for 12 months
Applications are invited for a postdoctoral position within the
Sub-department of Atmospheric, Oceanic and Planetary Physics (AOPP) to
work in the Earth Observation Data Group on the analysis of laboratory
measurements of aerosols. The post is available initially for fixed-term
duration of 12 months and is available immediately. The post concerns
the estimation of aerosol refractive indices from existing laboratory
measurements of transmission spectra and particle size distributions.
Aerosols to be analysed include black carbon, TiO2 and candidate
particles for stratospheric geoengineering. Much of the work will
involve writing journal articles that: describe the results including
their uncertainty; interpreting the refractive indices in terms of the
physical and chemical properties of the aerosol; and, relating the
results to aerosol radiative effects on the Earth?s atmosphere.
Applicants should have or be very close to obtaining a doctorate in
physics, physical chemistry, mathematics or a related field and
experience in data analysis. It will be an advantage to have experience
in atmospheric radiative transfer and/or Fourier transform spectroscopy.
Good writing and computational skills are essential with experience in
UNIX/Linux, IDL and FORTRAN an advantage.
The post-holder will have the opportunity to teach.
Please direct informal enquiries about the role to Dr Don Grainger.

In the research group Theory of Atmospheric Dynamics and Climate at the
Institute of Atmospheric and Environmental Sciences of the
Johann-Wolfgang-Goethe-University Frankfurt there is a vacancy for a
Research Scientist (Akademische/r Rat/R?tin auf Zeit)
The initial appointment will be for three years.
Applicants should hold a PhD in meteorology, physics, applied
mathematics, fluid dynamics, astronomy or a related field. Expected is a
strong background in theory and/or modeling and a capability for
research in atmosphere dynamics. The specific research field shall be
the theory of mesoscale and sub-mesoscale wave dynamics and its
interaction with larger-scale systems. The ultimate objective is the
improvement of the description of gravity waves in weather and climate
models.
The post offers the opportunity for further scientific qualification
within the German system (Habilitation). Within this framework a modest
participation in teaching in the meteorology program and in attracting
external funding is expected. The research activity is to be embedded
both in a national research initiative on the multi-scale dynamics of
gravity waves, and in the corresponding international scientific community.
Some information on the research group can be found under
http://www2.uni-frankfurt.de/45681958/Theory-of-Atmospheric-Dynamics-and-Climate.
Its focus is on scale interactions in atmosphere dynamics, with
applications to large-scale low-frequency variability and to
gravity-wave dynamics. Middle-atmosphere dynamics is another field of
work. Techniques used include multi-scale asymptotics, stochastic
methods, and numerical simulation. Inquiries should be addressed to
Prof. Dr. Ulrich Achatz (achatz@iau.uni-frankfurt.de).
Applications with the usual documents (CV, diplomas, and a list of
publications) should be sent by March 15, 2014 to Prof. Dr. Ulrich
Achatz, Johann Wolfgang Goethe-Universit?t Frankfurt, Institut f?r
Atmosph?re und Umwelt, Altenh?ferallee 1, 60438 Frankfurt am Main,
Germany. Applications will be considered beyond this date until the post
has been filled.
