Research Associate for the Project “L5 Future Climate Applications of Mixing Parameterisations in Earth-System Models” as part of the Collaborative Research Center TRR 181 § 28 Subsection 3 HmbHG

Institution Faculty of Mathematics, Informatics and Natural Sciences, Department of Earth System Sciences, Institute of Oceanography

Salary level

Start date as soon as possible, fixed until 30.06.2028 (This is a fixed-term contract in accordance with Section 2 of the academic fixed-term labor contract act [Wissenschaftszeitvertragsgesetz, WissZeitVG]).

Application deadline 01.09.2024

Scope of work part-time

Weekly hours 75 % of standard work hours per week

Your responsibilities

Duties include academic services in the project named above. Research associates may also pursue independent research and further academic qualifications. They may also pursue doctoral studies outside of working duties.

Duties include academic services in the TRR 181, a DFG funded collaborative research center that involves several German universities and research institutes and aims at better understanding and consistently representing energy transfers between different dynamical regimes in mathematical and numerical models (see website for more details ).

The subproject L5 applies and assesses the effect of the energetic mixing closure IDEMIX in climate states that are very different from today’s. While previous and ongoing work of L5 focuses on the past, we now aim to investigate an extreme future climate state without the Earth’s major ice sheets. By applying the internal wave model IDEMIX to consistently parameterize the wave-induced mixing, we want to analyze how the barotropic tidal current changes associated with ice sheet melt and sea level rise impact the internal tide generation, propagation, and dissipation. The successful candidate will be part of the theoretical oceanography group at Universität Hamburg, working under the supervision of Dr. Friederike Pollmann and Dr. Alexa Griesel as well as Prof. Dr. Carsten Eden. Collaboration with Dr. Sophie-Berenice Wilmes (Bangor University) is planned with a particular focus on the barotropic tidal modeling during these extreme climate states. The successful candidate will also be a member of the project’s research training group ENERGY, which connects the participating universities and research institutes and provides dedicated training courses, ample opportunity for (international) networking, and a mentoring program to support career development.

Your profile

A university degree in a relevant field.

Completed M.Sc. or equivalent in physical oceanography, meteorology, physics, applied mathematics or related relevant fields.

Genuine interest in independent research in the fields of oceanography and numerical modelling, in data analysis and in the presentation and publication of scientific results.

Applicants should have excellent English skills and enjoy working in an international and interdisciplinary team.

We offer

Reliable remuneration based on wage agreements Continuing education opportunities University pensions Attractive location Flexible working hours Work-life balance opportunities Health management Educational leave 30 days of vacation per annum
