The Max Planck Institute for Meteorology (MPI-M), a multidisciplinary center for Climate and Earth System research located in Hamburg, Germany, has a vacancy for a Ph.D.-student in the field of the numerical simulation of
The Response of the Earth's Atmosphere to Solar Variability.
The successful candidate will study the effects of the variable input of solar irradiance and particles on dynamics and chemistry from the thermosphere to the surface. This will require the application and a further development of the general circulation and chemistry model HAMMONIA (http://www.mpimet.mpg.de/en/depts/dep1/uma/hammonia/).
An academic qualification comparable to a German Diplom degree (e.g., a Master's degree including a written thesis) in the field of meteorology, physics, chemistry, or a related discipline is required. Experience in programming (FORTRAN90, UNIX) is a plus.
The position is offered for initially two years, with payment according to a civil service position (BAT IIa/2). Extension to three years is possible. The successful applicant is encouraged to integrate the International Max Planck Research School on Earth System Modelling (http://www.earthsystemschool.mpg.de). The work will be conducted in the framework of the priority program CAWSES (Climate and Weather of the Sun-Earth System) of the DFG (German Science Foundation) and the SCOSTEP organization.
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 preferential status.
Please submit your application, together with a curriculum vitae and the names, addresses and telephone numbers of two references, by 31 March 2005, to
Max Planck Institute for Meteorology
