The Max Planck Institute for Meteorology (MPI-M) is a multidisciplinary centre for climate research located in Hamburg, Germany, one of Europe's most livable and vibrant cities. The MPI-M has an internationally recognised reputation in climate modelling and provides a highly international and interdisciplinary environment for conducting scientific research as well as access to state-of-the-art scientific facilities.
The Department the "Atmosphere in the Earth System" is searching for an exceptional
Postdoctoral Scientist (m/f, MPIM-W034)
The successful applicant will work within the Department "Atmosphere in the Earth System" to study links between ozone, circulation, and climate sensitivity with a focus on the tropical tropopause layer.
Responsibilities
The position offers the opportunity to work with the newly developed ICON model system that can be used on a variety of scales from global to cloud resolving. The candidate is expected to exploit the capabilities of this system to tackle questions in the above mentioned area using a hierarchy of model configurations. The successful applicant will work with Hauke Schmidt in the "Middle and Upper Atmosphere" group of the department. But the position comes with considerable freedom to shape the research questions, hopefully in cooperation with other members and groups of the department, as in particular Thorsten Mauritsen and Bjorn Stevens.
Qualifications / Experience
Candidates with a strong background in atmospheric circulation and chemistry are strongly preferred. Proven knowledge on processes relevant in the tropical tropopause layer would be a plus. Experience in modelling, model analysis, and/or the analysis of observations is also desired. Additional qualifications include: a PhD in Meteorology or a related field; strong programming/scripting and analytic skills; an ability to work as part of a team; and an ability to communicate effectively as demonstrated through at least one excellent first authored scientific publication (or publication draft).
Employment conditions
· The position is offered for at least two years, with an extension of an additional year contingent on performance and financing, starting as soon as possible.
· Payment will be in accordance with German public service positions (TVoeD E14), including extensive social security plans. The conditions of employment, including upgrades and duration, follow the rules of the Max Planck Society for the Advancement of Sciences and those of the German civil service.
· The Max Planck Institute for Meteorology seeks to increase the number of female scientist and encourages them to apply. Handicapped persons with comparable qualifications receive preferential status
Selection criteria
Candidates will be evaluated based on their qualifications and ability to fulfill the responsibilities as outlined for this position.
How to submit your application for this post
Please submit:
1) A cover letter
2) A detailed curriculum vitae

SCIENTIA PhD SCHOLARSHIPS ($40,000 p.a. tax-free over 4 years)
CLIMATE CHANGE RESEARCH CENTRE
UNSW, SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA
Topic area: The physics of drought extremes in the 21st Century
Expressions of interest are sought from outstanding graduates with a strong academic record including Honors Class I or equivalent for up to two 4-year PhD scholarships that include a living allowance of $40,000 per annum (tax-free) and $10,000 per annum in additional project support costs (e.g. relocation, travel, etc). The scholarships also include full fee-waivers for international students.
Graduates with a strong background in physics, mathematics, oceanography, atmospheric science, engineering or similar quantitative sciences are particularly encouraged to apply. Graduates with additional past experience working as a research scientist or assistant are also strongly encouraged to apply. Expressions of interest require (1) full copies of academic transcripts (2) a CV and (3) the names of up to three qualified referees.
The PhD students will be based at the UNSW Climate Change Research Centre, with supervision from Professors Matthew England and Andrew Pitman, among others. For further details on the CCRC, including faculty, research staff, students, research foci, and publications, see http://www.ccrc.unsw.edu.au
Up to two PhD scholarships will be offered; the first will focus on the ocean-atmosphere dynamics regulating drought using models and observations. This will focus on the large-scale drivers of drought including the role of the oceans via the El Niño and Indian Ocean variability, and the role of variations in the Southern Annular Mode. For this project, knowledge of ocean-atmosphere dynamics and GFD would be an advantage. The second PhD will focus on the role of land-atmosphere interactions. Here, the specific role of the land in intensifying drought will be examined including the importance of turbulent energy and/or vegetation feedbacks, and the role of regional-scale heating in re-organizing the atmosphere towards persistent patterns of blocking. Both PhD scholarships seek graduates with strong quantitative and numerical skills.
Both students will also gain direct support through the ARC Centre of Excellence for Climate System Science (ARCCSS). This will include access to technical and computational support, formal engagement through the Centre's Graduate Program (including targeted training, mentorship, Winter Schools and so on) and allocation of supercomputing resources for simulations via the National Computational Infrastructure facilities.
Apart from experts based at the UNSW Climate Change Research Centre, students will also be able to engage with international experts and have opportunities to spend time in Europe or the US working with colleagues.
Expression of Interest including academic transcript, CV and the names of up to three referees should be sent to arccss.grad@unsw.edu.au by November 11, 2016.

We have a great opportunity in our Forecast Research and Development team for someone enthusiastic about forecasting and statistical analysis.
In the role of either Research Scientist or Meteorological Developer (depending on your expertise) you will be involved in prototyping and testing new computer weather forecasting systems. You could be working on models of the atmosphere, advanced statistical and machine learning methods, and development of operational systems. The role needs to support the whole range from idea implementation in prototypes via high-quality software development to agile support of customer requests and support of operations.
To join us, ideally you will have an honours degree or above in mathematics or physics, or demonstrated experience in developing robust 24/7 modelling systems, or a strong computer science background combined with a meteorological degree.
For either position (Research Scientist or Meteorological Developer) knowledge of meteorology is essential. WRF modeling and/or statistical techniques for forecasting would be beneficial, along with a high level of knowledge about Linux OS, Amazon Web Services, or experience with running operational forecasting systems. And, if you are a good communicator of scientific and mathematical concepts to non-scientific people, then we want to hear from you!
Why join us? We enjoy achieving, we appreciate creativity and we recognise everyone's unique skills and qualities. You'll be joining a global business passionate about connecting the science of weather to deliver products and services that really make a difference for our customers and members of the public.
