The Leibniz Institute for Tropospheric Research (TROPOS) is a research institute of the Leibniz Association and an internationally renowned institute in the field of aerosol and cloud research.

The advertised position is part of the DFG research unit C3SAR (Cloud 3D Structure And Radiation), coordinated by the Leibniz Institute for Tropospheric Research in Leipzig with partners at the Universities of Munich, Cologne and Hanover as well as the German Weather Service in Offenbach and Lindenberg. The partners combine leading expertise in modeling and observing clouds and their radiative properties with the aim of taking the complex spatial structure of clouds into account in climate models and global remote sensing. The position thus offers highly relevant and interesting opportunities for work and cooperation in one of the most important areas of climate research. In the sub-project under consideration, TROPOS contributes its expertise in the detailed modeling of clouds to the project network and plans to make it possible for the first time to link detailed cloud modeling and radiation calculations.

TROPOS values the diversity of its employees and pursues the goals of equal opportunities. In order to increase the proportion of female employees in scientific and science-related positions, we hereby specifically invite female candidates to apply. People with disabilities (“Schwerbehinderung” according to Book IX of the German Social Code) have priority in the hiring process if they have the same suitability, aptitude and professional qualifications.
