The Max Planck Institute for Meteorology (MPI-M), a multidisciplinary center for
climate and Earth system research located in Hamburg, Germany, invites
applications for 

2 Postdoctoral Scientists in coupled regional climate modeling (m/f)

Ref. 2013-07: Within the cooperative Project RACE (funded by the German Ministry
of Re-search) the interaction between the northeast Atlantic and the northwest
European shelf shall be investigated using a coupled regional earth system
model, which consists of an ocean general circulation model including marine
biogeochemistry and a regional atmosphere model. Among others anthropogenic
climate change simulations will be investigated. The initial term for this
position is from August 1, 2013, to September 30, 2015. Application for further
3 years funding is intended.  

Ref. 2013-08: Within the cluster of excellence CLISAP
(http://www.klimacampus.de/clisap.html) the effect of anthropogenic climate
change on the Arctic shall be investigated with a regional coupled climate model
consisting of an ocean-sea ice model and a regional atmospheric model. Our goal
is a better understanding of  the dynamics and interaction between ocean, sea
ice, at-mosphere and land. This position is available starting November 1, 2013,
and is limited to Octo-ber 31, 2015.

Successful candidates will perform and analyze experiments with a complex model
system. They will work closely together with other members the ocean physics
group of the MPI-M
(http://www.mpimet.mpg.de/en/science/the-ocean-in-the-earth-system/scientific-working-groups/
ocean-physics.html).

We are seeking highly motivated post-doctoral scientists with profound expertise
in earth system modeling and experience in the analysis of large data sets.
Applicants are expected to possess good programming skills, an excellent
publication record and high team competence.

Payment will be in accordance with a civil service position (TVoeD E13),
including extensive so-cial security plans. Conditions of employment follow the
rules of the Max Planck Society for the Advancement of Sciences, and those of
the German civil service.

For further information, please contact Uwe Mikolajewicz
(uwe.mikolajewicz(at)zmaw.de).

The Max Planck Institute for Meteorology seeks to increase the number of female
scientists and encourages them to apply. Handicapped persons with comparable
qualifications receive prefer-ential status. All applications (including a cover
letter, a curriculum vitae, copies of scientific de-grees, a publication list,
and the names and contact information of two references), received by April 30,
2013, will receive full consideration. The positions will remain open until filled. 

Please send your application, preferably by e-mail to jobs(at)vw.mpimet.mpg.de
(one pdf-attachment with max. 5MB only including all documents), or by post to:
