It provides a highly international and interdisciplinary environment for conducting scientific research as well as access to state-of-the-art scientific and computational facilities.
Within the German Ministry for Education and Research (BMBF) funded collaborative JPI Climate-Belmont project "The potential of seasonal-to-decadal-scale inter-regional linkages to advance climate predictions" (InterDec-MPI), the department for The Ocean in the Earth System (Director's research group) is looking for a
Postdoctoral Scientist/Research Scientist (m/f, Ref. W029)
to investigate the inter-linkages among seasonal-to-decadal scale variability in the Arctic, mid-latitudes and tropics, their mechanisms and their implications for reliable climate predictions through coordinated multi-model sensitivity experiments and suites of initialized climate predictions. The project InterDec-MPI coordinates the research activities of an international consortium of European and Asian elite universities and research climate centers within the Belmont Forum/JPI-Climate initiative "Climate services collaborative research action on climate predictability and inter-regional linkages" (http://www.jpi-climate.eu/2015projects/interdec).
Specific objectives of InterDec are
· To investigate the mechanisms that govern the fast atmospheric linkages through both tropospheric and stratospheric processes between polar and lower latitudes and explore the potential for predictions on sub-seasonal to seasonal time scales.
· To advance our understanding of how frequency and amplitude of extreme weather events can be modulated by decadal-multidecadal changes in the background climate conditions.
· To explore the role of the ocean for low frequency signal communication between high and low latitudes and the implications for decadal predictability.
· To explore the added value of increased climate model resolution for a more realistic representation of processes linking high and low latitudes and for enhancing the predictability of high-impact climate and extreme weather events on regional scales.
Responsibilities
· Develop original research and analysis strategy to address research questions relevant to the InterDec project objectives.
· Conduct and analyze coordinated sensitivity and hindcast climate simulations with the Max Planck Earth System Model aimed at improving our understanding of Arctic-Midlatitude-Tropics linkages at seasonal-to-decadal time scale and their potential predictability, with a focus on monsoon systems, Eurasian climate extremes and hiatus like events.
· Contribute to project and task coordination, as well as to the writing and assembling of project reports.
· Disseminate the results through publications in high-impact peer-reviewed journals and presentations at project annual meetings, national and international conferences.
· Attend training, coordination, and dissemination activities that are organized by InterDec.
Qualifications / experience
· A PhD in Meteorology, Oceanography, Physics, or a related area is required for this position.
· Good knowledge of climate dynamics and predictability, in particular of atmospheric and/or ocean dynamics, atmosphere/ocean interactions and teleconnections. Expertise in initialising and evaluating the skill of seasonal-to-decadal climate predictions is an advantage.
· Experience in performing and evaluating coupled atmosphere-ocean
system simulations is desired.
· Programming skills in Fortran and statistical post-processing (e.g. cdo, R) and visualization software (e.g. MATLAB, FERRET, NCL, IDL, GRADS), as well as experience in handling large climate data sets.
· Good knowledge of advance statistical techniques for climate analyses. Experience in extreme events statistics is an advantage.
· Ability to coordinate cross-institutional research work and reporting tasks is desired.
· Ability to work both independently and within a team.
· Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English.
Selection criteria
The selection criteria will value the qualifications, the experience and the ability of the candidates to fulfill the responsibilities of the opening as outlined above.
Employment conditions
· The position is offered for 38 months, with a starting date between September and November 2016.

The Chair for Atmospheric Physics at the Ludwig-Maximilians University (LMU) München invites applications for a[cid:image002.png@01D1E369.C9775FD0]
Postdoctoral Position
in
Rocketborne ion mass spectrometry
The position is part of a research project in which in-situ measurements with sounding rockets are foreseen to investigate neutral atmosphere and ionosphere conditions during strong radar echoes from the polar winter mesosphere (so-called polar mesosphere winter echoes, PMWE, ca. 60-80 km altitude). In collaboration with the DLR-Institute of Atmospheric Physics, the Chair of Atmospheric Physics at LMU is preparing an ion mass spectrometer which is to be launched on one of two currently scheduled sounding rockets. The aim of these ion measurements is to characterize the ion composition in the vicinity of PMWE for which so far no conclusive generation mechanism has been proposed. Particular emphasis will be given to the detection of large cluster ions (up to nanometer scale) which might possibly play an important role in the generation of these radar echoes.
We are looking for a postdoctoral researcher with experimental skills in the field of mass spectrometry. The position is initially awarded for 15 months (payscale TV�L E13 100%) with the possibility for further extension pending future funding decisions. The postdoctoral researcher will be placed at the Institute for Atmospheric Physics at the Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt (German Aerospace Center, DLR) in Oberpfaffenhofen, see http://www.dlr.de/ipa/ for further information.
For more information please contact Prof. Markus Rapp (markus.rapp[at]lmu.de).
Essential skills:
- Ph.D. degree in physics or equivalent
- Laboratory experience with mass spectrometry
- Good knowledge of spoken and written English
- Good communication skills
Advantageous skills:
- Experience in cryo techniques
- Experience with quadrupole mass spectrometry
- Knowledge in Atmospheric Physics
Interested candidates should send a complete application package (CV; cover letter describing background, training and research interests; certificates; list of publications, contact information of a referee) as a single PDF to Prof. Markus Rapp (markus.rapp[at]lmu.de) with copy to Dr. Hans Schlager (hans.schlager[at]dlr.de). Applications are being accepted immediately. The position is open until filled.
