We are having an open position from October 2016 to March 2019 within
the HD(CP)2 project with focus on the detrainment of convection. Here
is some info.

____________________________________________________
The research and development department of the German Meteorological
Service (DWD) at Frankfurt/Offenbach is looking for a
Research Scientist
Reference code 20160992
starting on 1.10.2016 to be filled on a temporary position until
30.03.2019 within the HD(CP)2 Phase II project.
The HD(CP)2 project phase II (high definition clouds and precipitation
for climate prediction, http://hdcp2.eu/) aims to improve precipitation
forecasts and to reduce uncertainty in climate simulations. The entire
project comprises in total about 50 positions within Germany for two
periods of three years each. The focus of the project is the development
and evaluation of a large-eddy-model (LEM) version of the ICON model.
High-resolution (~100m) model runs on a regional scale will then be used
as a reference for the development of cloud and precipitation
parameterisations in the global ICON weather and climate model.
The S3 part of HD(CP)2 focuses on the role of high level anvil cirrus
and stratiform convective outflow with five researchers working on
theory, microphysics, macrophysics, observations of clouds and
convection. The position advertised will analyse high-resolution LES to
learn about the precipitation generation in convection and the resulting
outflow of cloud from convective systems. The goal will be an
improvement of the parameterisation of convection and it's outflow.
The job description includes the following activities:
• Evaluation of convection and ice clouds in ICON-LES, ICON-NWP and
ICON-climate
• Investigation of trajectories in convective updrafts in ICON-LES to
understand moisture transports
• Test improvements in the parameterization of convection and
detrainment of ice into cirrus
• Sensitivity of summer convective days as a proxy of climate change
• Documentation and publication, including presentation at internal and
external meetings and in scientific journals
Necessary requirements for the candidates are:
• Scientific studies with a master degree or diploma, preferably in
meteorology, mathematics or physics
• Confident knowledge of English (Level B2 CEFR) in written and oral form
• Knowledge of German (Level B2 CEFR) in written and oral form
Further essential experiences:
• Solid knowledge in the field of general meteorology
• Knowledge in the field of meteorological research and development
• Knowledge in the parameterization of physical processes
• Knowledge in convection
• Knowledge in microphysics
• Knowledge and experiences in analysis and visualization of complex and
extensive datasets
• Knowledge and experiences with programming languages, e.g. FORTRAN or
C, and UNIX
• Practical experiences with large-eddy models
• Practical experiences with weather and climate models
• Ability to think and act conceptually and target-oriented
• Motivation and initiative
• Skills in communication and cooperation (nationally and internationally)
• Creativity and ability to innovate
• Quick perception and motivation to learn
• Skills in the presentation of scientific results (orally and written)
• Ability to transfer complex theoretical approaches into practical methods
Experience in international collaboration is advantageous.
The post is rated according to EG 13 TvöD (see
http://oeffentlicher-dienst.info/tvoed/bund/). The assignment of levels
will be carried out according to personal experiences.
The Deutsche Wetterdienst supports work-family-balance and has been
certified accordingly. Further information is available at:

Part-time assignment is possible.
Women with equivalent skills and experiences will be given preference
according to the law of equal opportunities.
Disabled applicants with equal competences will be given preference.
Only a minimum of physical ability is needed.
