Job Description
(geoscientific modelling and data analysis):
In our
Institute for Coastal Systems – Analysis and Modelling we are looking for a
postdoctoral esearcher in the field of geoscientific modelling and data
analysis to start as soon as possible – limited – for a period of 3 years.
Within the framework of the BMBF-funded project “TECHNOLOGIEPLATTFORM H2MARE”
and the project “MarEns”, meteomarine data sets are needed to determine
security risks and climate change impacts. The already existing data sets will
be extended by ensemble members that include both existing and future offshore
wind farms in their interaction with the atmosphere and the ocean.
Your task in this context will be to apply and extend the existing Hereon model
system GCOAST to account for the influences of wind farms. In this application,
the GCOAST system includes the regional climate models COSMO-CLM or ICON-CLM
and the regional ocean model NEMO. Further information about GCOAST can be
found on the website
https://www.hereon.de/institutes/coastal_systems_analysis_modeling/research/gcoast/index.php.en.
Furthermore, your tasks will include developing strategies with project
partners from industry and commerce to use the results of the model simulations
synergetically with the industrial measurement data in order to make statements
on logistical and safety-relevant questions in the offshore operation of
technical plants. The cooperation in the project requires the processing of
large amounts of data, which should be usable in applications from different
disciplines.
Equality of opportunity is an important part of our personnel policy. We would
therefore strongly encourage qualified women to apply for the position.
