The Faculty of Mathematics, Informatics and Natural Sciences, Department of Earth System Sciences, Meteorological Institute invites applications for a

Research Associate (Postdoc) FOR THE PROJECT “TRR 181 Energy Transfers in Atmosphere and Ocean” subproject S1: Diagnosis and Metrics in Climate Models

TRR 181 investigates details of energy transfers between waves, eddies and local turbulences in the ocean and the atmosphere and numerical models representing them. It is a large interdisciplinary project involving oceanographers, meteorologists and mathematicians of Northern Germany working closely together to develop energetically consistent mathematical models to improve climate prediction. This postdoctoral position in subproject S1 focuses on the validation of simulated variability and tracing of biases in climate models through physically derived equations. Research associates may also pursue independent research and further academic qualifications.
