Job description
The Meteorological Institute (MIM) of the Ludwig-Maximilians-College Munich (LMU), Germany invitations functions for a Analysis Assistant (PostDoc) on enhancing the detection of riming and icing hazards utilizing radar polarimetry and vertically pointing radar.
The place is obtainable from 01.10.2022 for a interval of three years. The place is full-time with wage and advantages based mostly on the German TV-L E13 scale if phrases and circumstances underneath collective bargaining legislation are fulfilled.
Goals and Duties
The PostDoc place is embedded within the undertaking PROM-POMODORI (“Combining radar POlarimetry, climate forecast MOdel outputs and DOppler radar observations for RIming evaluation”) as a part of the DFG Precedence Programme 2115 „Fusion of Radar Polarimetry and Numerical Atmospheric Modelling In direction of an Improved Understanding of Cloud and Precipitation Processes“ (PROM, see https://www2.meteo.uni-bonn.de/spp2115 for extra info). The primary aim of the POMODORI undertaking, which is a collaboration between LMU and German Climate Service at Hohenpeissenberg Observatory, is to examine riming of ice particles utilizing radar distant sensing. Current dataset from the operational polarimetric C-Band community might be mixed with vertically pointing cloud radars and ICON mannequin output to coach a man-made neural community for the retrieval of riming. This won’t solely enable to higher perceive the riming course of and to judge mannequin simulation, but additionally bears the potential to considerably enhance the operational detection of icing hazard circumstances.
Your profile
We search a gifted and motivated candidate who has excessive curiosity in radar distant sensing of ice microphysics and who’s conversant in evaluation of advanced observational datasets. Ideally, the candidate has expertise in radar distant sensing specifically associated to radar polarimetry, Doppler spectra, or multi-frequency radar functions. Obligatory necessities are a accomplished scientific college diploma (diploma, grasp’s diploma or comparable) in meteorology, physics or associated discipline. Wonderful programming expertise, skill to speak in spoken and written English, and to work in a scientific workforce are anticipated.
Tips on how to apply: Please ship your convincing utility together with a motivation letter (most 1 web page) describing background, coaching, analysis pursuits and motivation for this place; your CV, certificates and the contact info of two referees all merged right into a single PDF by way of e-mail to stefan.kneifel[at]lmu.de. Solely full functions might be thought of.
Overview of functions will start after 1st October 2022 and proceed till the place is crammed. The choice for the positions might be based mostly solely on benefit with out regard to gender, faith, nationwide origin, political affiliation, marital or household standing or different variations. The Ludwig-Maximilians-College Munich seeks to extend the share of ladies in scientific positions and subsequently explicitly encourages girls to use. Additionally attainable in a part-time capability. Individuals with disabilities who’re equally certified as different candidates will obtain preferential therapy.
