The Position
The MPI-M invites applications for a 3-year position as a
Postdoctoral Scientist (W-0054 | all genders)
within the CLICCS project to investigate the impact of tropical deforestation on precipitation under a warming climate making use of km-scale climate simulations.
The project aims to advance our fundamental understanding of the processes that control the tropical precipitation distribution, with a particular emphasis on the resilience of tropical precipitation to perturbations. To that aim, simulations will be conducted using the ICON Earth System Model in its Sapphire configuration, using a grid spacing of 10-km (or finer). Past research has shown that precipitation in this type of simulation is much more resilient to deforestation over the Amazon, at least in present-day climate, questioning the existence of a tipping behavior of the Amazon forest.
Your Profile
- PhD degree in meteorology, oceanography, physics, mathematics, engineering, or a related field
- Experience with km-scale model simulations is an advantage
- Excellent programming skills in Python (or related languages)
- Proven record of high-quality research, demonstrated through publications, presentations, and references
- Strong written and oral communication skills, and the ability to work independently as well as collaboratively
Our Offer
- Participation in a challenging part of science in an international, intellectually stimulating environment
- Access to complex workflows on the bleeding edge of what is technologically possible, as well as working for and with an open-source community
- A network of very experienced and innovative colleagues within the institute, and at partner institutions with a long-proven tradition of sharing knowledge and information
- Possibility for flexible time-management and measures to support work-life balance
- Attractive benefits incl. subsidy for public transport across Germany (Deutschlandticket)
Employment Conditions
- The potential start date is as early as January 1st, 2026 and ends December 31st 2028.
- Payment will be in accordance with German public service positions depending on qualification (E14 TVöD), including extensive social security plans. The conditions of employment, including upgrades and duration, follow the rules of the Max Planck Society for the Advancement of Science and those of the German civil service
- The Max Planck Society strives for gender and diversity equality. We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds
- The Max Planck Society is committed to increasing the number of individuals with disabilities in its workforce and therefore encourages applications from such qualified individuals
