Offer Description
The Leibniz Institute for Tropospheric Research is a research institute of the Leibniz
Association and an internationally renowned institute in the field of aerosol and cloud
research.
In the BMBF-funded project consortium "IFCES2 - With Intra-model Functional
Concurrency towards Efficient Exascale Earth System Predictions", innovative HPC
methods are being developed to optimize the national weather forecast and Earth system
model ICON for future exascale supercomputers. The work will be carried out in close
cooperation with leading supercomputing centers TU Dresden, Deutsches
Klimarechenzentrum and Jülich Supercomputing Centre and represents an important
contribution to a highly relevant area of climate research. To this end, TROPOS is
contributing its expertise in the detailed modeling of clouds to the project consortium and
plans to apply functional concurrency and dynamic load balancing to make novel model
simulations of tropical cyclones possible for the first time.
Requirements
• completed PhD in the field of meteorology, physics, mathematics, computer science or
an equivalent scientific or mathematical discipline
• very good knowledge in FORTRAN programming, UNIX/Linux and Shell Script
• knowledge of server-based computer structures and high-performance computers (e.g.
HLRE at DKRZ)
• competent handling of analysis and visualization software (e.g. CDO, Python)
• very good knowledge of written and spoken English is required
• furthermore the following qualifications are advantageous
o Knowledge of parallelization of scientific applications
o Experience in the use of the ICON model and the scientific exploitation of ICON
data
o German language skills
Additional Information
• an exciting job with a varied activity in an interdisciplinary working environment
and a variety of work and family offers as well as flexible working hours and
daycare places.
• an attractive living environment with Leipzig as an interesting and culturally
diverse city
• The employment is temporary and includes a full-time position with 40 hours /
week.
• Remuneration is provided at TV-L pay group 13, including the attractive social
benefits of the public sector.
For the following tasks TROPOS is looking for a scientific employee (m, f, d):
• Design and development of parallel, highly scalable HPC methods for the efficient
execution of atmospheric simulations.
• Analysis of the efficiency and stability of the numerical methods currently applied and
development of appropriate improvements
• Creation of detailed cloud simulations and their combination with observational data
for improved interpretation of cloud processes in tropical cyclones
• Compilation and publication of the scientific results in scientific journals and
presentation of the results at science conferences
