Job description
We’re on the lookout for two artistic and self-motivated postdocs (100%, pay grade 13 TV-L) to hitch the analysis group of Prof. Buermann at Augsburg College. Buermann’s analysis group carries out a broad spectrum of basic and utilized analysis on the human affect on local weather. It investigates local weather variability and land surface-atmosphere interactions from regional to international scales, rising ecosystem responses below local weather change and in addition conducts biogeochemical (carbon cycle) research (see Buermann’s webpage).
Place 1:
This postdoc may go on any matter in local weather science together with however are usually not restricted to
- Local weather affect research (e.g., Excessive occasions, interactions of local weather change and different environmental modifications)
- Ecosystem-climate interplay research (e.g. local weather impacts on carbon cycle)
- Adjustments in large-scale circulation dynamics and hyperlinks to regional local weather change
The scientist will grow to be members of a dynamic group of researchers with ample alternative for designing their very own initiatives and for networking. The group is strongly concerned in worldwide initiatives and gives in-house experience on native and large-scale local weather change research with each observational (e.g. satellite tv for pc Earth observations) and modelling views. Huge alternatives for collaboration exist with analysis establishments in shut proximity within the larger Munich space.
The perfect candidate may have expertise in a number of of these areas and will have robust quantitative expertise.
Required {qualifications}:
- PhD (or equal worldwide diploma) or enrolled in a PhD diploma program (or equal worldwide diploma) on the time of software in any subject of geo-, earth system or local weather sciences
Most popular {qualifications}:
- Proficient coding expertise in not less than one in every of: R, Matlab, Python, Fortran, IDL
- Good information of particular subjects in local weather science
- Each numerical and communication expertise
- Proof of capability to publish leads to related journals
- Potential to work independently and as half of a bigger group
The place is obtainable for 3 years with the likelihood to increase to a most of six years and purchase a “Habilitation”. The place contains educating of 5 hours per week within the examine packages of the Institute for Geography.
Place 2:
This postdoc will work on a DFG-funded challenge, which is concentrated on figuring out mechanisms chargeable for the improved seasonal alternate of atmospheric CO2 within the northern excessive latitudes. The place is obtainable for 2 years with the opportunity of a one-year extension. A key focus of this challenge can be inspecting local weather and land cowl dynamics within the northern latitudes and the way these hyperlink to modifications within the CO2 amplitude at northern monitoring stations. The challenge will mix high-resolution satellite tv for pc knowledge (MODIS, Landsat) with modelling instruments comparable to biosphere fashions and atmospheric transport. The postdoc will even collaborate with the worldwide analysis groups of Jun.-Prof. Forkel (TU Dresden), Dr. Thonicke (PIK Potsdam), Dr. Rödenbeck (MPI Jena), Prof. Friedl (Boston College) and Dr. Keeling (Scripps San Diego). The place is obtainable for 2 years with the opportunity of a one-year extension.
Particular duties of the place embody:
- Evaluation and analysis of high-res. satellite tv for pc knowledge and creation of land cowl knowledge
- Synthesis of observational and model-based evaluation
- Advancing understanding of carbon cycle science within the North
- Presentation of outcomes at scientific conferences
- Publishing of leads to scientific journals
- Attainable mentoring graduate and undergraduate college students
Required {qualifications}:
- PhD (or equal worldwide diploma) or enrolled in a PhD diploma program (or equal worldwide diploma) on the time of software in any subject of geo-, earth system or local weather sciences
Most popular {qualifications}:
- Proficient coding expertise in not less than one in every of: R, Matlab, Python, Fortran, IDL
- Avanced information of local weather, plant ecology and/or the carbon cycle
- Each numerical and communication expertise
- Proof of capability to publish leads to related journals
- Potential to work independently and as half of a bigger group
For questions on these two positions please contact Prof. Buermann ( wolfgang.buermann@uni-a.de). Augsburg College promotes the skilled equality of girls.
