OFFER DESCRIPTION
We invite you to apply for a 1.5-year postdoctoral position in the field of atmospheric cloud research.
The winter-time Arctic boundary layer exhibits two distinct states. One of these states features mixed-phase clouds, the other is radiatively clear. Your goal will be to characterize this bistability from the perspective of dynamical systems theory. The anticipated approach involves emulator building from simulation and observational data. Within the broad scope of the project, you will be free to set your own scientific emphasis.
Your postdoctoral advisor will be Franziska Glassmeier. You will be part of the Atmospheric Science research team, which is headed by Pier Siebesma and has a strong focus on modeling and observing clouds. In addition to an exciting research project and a friendly and stimulating work environment, we can offer you generous funds for scientific travel.
