The Leibniz Institute for Tropospheric Research e.V. (TROPOS) in Leipzig (Germany) is seeking a
Postdoctoral scientist (PostDoc)
to join the research team working on the atmospheric mineral dust life-cycle and mechanism controlling its interannual variability. The post is located in the Modelling Department at TROPOS.
The position is linked to the BMBF-Project titled "From the Last Interglacial to the Anthropocene: Modeling a Complete Glacial Cycle" (PalMod), which aims at simulating the climate from the peak of the last interglacial up to the present using comprehensive Earth System Models.
We seek a highly motivated early-career post-doctoral researcher to work with atmospheric models representing different scales, namely the meso-scale atmosphere-aerosol model "COSMO-MUSCAT" and the global-scale atmosphere-aerosol model "ECHAM-HAMMOZ". The main task will be to perform simulations of the dust life-cycle in regions with glaciogenic dust sources and advance the currently used model system with regard to the representation of the dust life-cycle in meso-scale and global-scale models.
The candidate should be willing to present the results at international conferences and to publish in peer-review journals. Fluent English in written and oral form is mandatory.
Subject to funding, the open position is limited to four years. The salary level is according to the German public service regulation (TV-L 13). The position will start ideally on 1 September 2015 or soon thereafter.
Applicants will have a PhD in atmospheric physics, meteorology, physics or related environmental science disciplines and ideally have a strong background in atmospheric modelling and model development. Interest on the atmospheric mineral dust cycle is an advantage.
We are offering the possibility to work in an interdisciplinary team at a highly renowned atmospheric research institute, and in one of the most attractive cities in Germany.
Female researchers are especially encouraged to apply. Among candidates of equal aptitude and qualifications, preference will be given to a disabled person. The position does not provide the opportunity for part time.
Please send your application including a letter of motivation, CV, transcripts and contacts of 3 references until 19.07.2015 per email to:

The Institute for Atmospheric and Climate Science of ETH Zurich has an opening for a
PhD Position in Climate Science
in the frame of the project ?Towards an improved understanding of the Global Energy Balance: Temporal variation of solar radiation in the climate system? funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation.
The aim of this PhD project is to obtain a better understanding of the variations of solar radiation at the Earth?s surface as observed over the past decades, which appear to have a profound impact on various aspects of environmental change. It remains debated whether these variations are primarily due to either aerosols or clouds, and dominated by reflection or absorption, with opposing impacts on global warming. A promising way to address these questions is to combine surface radiation measurements with collocated measurements of solar reflection back to space obtained from satellites, which allows an estimation of the disposition of solar radiation in the climate system and attribution to absorption and scattering.
In this PhD project, both surface and satellite data will thus be exploited to study the temporal variation of solar radiation in the climate system. The study period since 2000, when accurate satellite data started to become available, is particularly interesting as it covers a phase where global temperatures have not been rising substantially (?global warming hiatus?).
The position requires a master degree in Atmospheric/Earth/Environmental Sciences, Physics or equivalent. Applicants are expected to have a strong background in atmospheric sciences and (applied) mathematics and /or (geo-) statistics. Excellent skills in programming (UNIX environment) and data processing, as well as in communicating in oral and written English are a clear advantage. The ability to work in a team as well as in a self-dependent manner with a high degree of dedication is a further requirement.
We offer a friendly and stimulating work environment at a leading climate research institute with excellent infrastructures. The position is funded for three years. The ideal starting date is fall 2015. Workplace is Zurich, Switzerland. PhD salaries are at an internationally attractive level.
