The Center for Geosystem Research (ZEGEF, Zentrum für
Geosystemforschung, see www.earth-systems.de) of the
Rheinische-Friedrich-Wilhelms University Bonn offers a Postdoc Position (BAT2a) at the Meteorological Institute. The position is funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG, Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft) in the framework of the AQUARadar cluster proposal (for more information see www.meteo.uni-bonn.de/projects/aquaradar). AQUARadar has the goal to improve quantitative precipitation estimates (QPE) from ground-based precipitation radars. AQUARadar involves partner projects from the universities Bonn, Hamburg, Karlsruhe, Mainz and Munich, the German Institute for Air and Space Transport (DLR, Deutsches Zentrum für Luft und Raumfahrt) Oberpfaffenhofen and the German Weather Service (DWD, Deutscher Wetterdienst). The position is offered for an initial period of two years. An extension of the AQUARadar is intended. The successful applicant will work together with a partner project in applied mathematics at the University Bonn on the development of integral radar volume data descriptors and their relation to surface precipitation. He/She will also contribute to the overall coordination of the project cluster. We expect from the applicants an outstandig PhD in meteorology, oceanography, physics, or geophysics. Handicapped persons with comparable qualifications will be favoured. The University Bonn explicitly urges women to apply for the position. Please send us a complete curriculum vitae, certificates of degrees, and a cover letter detailing why you are interested in this project. Applications can be send, also electronically, until the end of Januar 2006 to: Prof. Dr. Clemens Simmer Meteorologisches Institut Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Auf dem Hügel 20 53121 Bonn csimmer@uni-bonn.de http://www.meteo.uni-bonn.de/staff/CSimmer/ |
