Jobbeschreibung

Research Associate – Universities of Hamburg and Bremen

The Collaborative Research Center TRR 181 “Energy transfers in Atmosphere and Ocean” invites applications for up to32 PhD and 14 Research Associate positions.

Physical oceanographer, meteorologists and applied mathematician are working together in the project

• to understand the energy transfers between the different dynamical regimes – smallscale turbulence, internal gravity waves and geostrophically balanced motion – in both atmosphere and ocean,
• to develop, to test, and to implement new and consistent parameterisations in models, and
• to develop mathematical and numerical methods featuring consistent energetics.

Successful applicants hold a MSc or Phd degree in physical oceanography, meteorology, applied mathematics or a related field and are highly motivated to work in an interdisciplinary environment.

The Collaborative Research Center TRR 181 aims to increase the number of women in research and teaching in this field and explicitly encourages women to apply.

The openings may be situated at any of the participating institutions.
