[Statlist] PhD position @ FU-Berlin

[von Waldow, Harald]

Dear all,

here is an advertisement for a PhD position in Statistical Meteorology.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
*PhD position: Stochastic parametrizations of convective processes (3
years)*

Freie Universit�t Berlin is one of only a few German Universities
which have been awarded and maintained the status of excellence.
The Institute of Meteorology of Freie Universit�t Berlin plays a
leading role in climate and weather research, with ample experience in
e.g., climate modeling and evaluation, dynamical and
statistical downscaling and forecast verification.

The Institute for Meteorology invites applications for a scientist
(E13 TV-L FU, 50%, temporary for 3 years, PhD student) to work on
stochastic parametrizations of convective processes in climate
models. The post starts latest January 1st, 2016 and is associated with
the newly established working group Statistical Meteorology. The
successful candidate will be studying parametrizations capturing
unresolved convective processes. Classical parametrizations will be
compared to those involving stochastic processes. Studies range from
toy model setups for the investigation of quite general features to
global and regional climate models. Of particular interest are effects
on different spatio-temporal scales and on ensemble spread. The
candidate is expected to participate in teaching within the institutes
Bachelor and Master program.

The successful candidate holds a university degree (Master, Diploma)
in Meteorology, Physics, Applied Mathematics or a related field.

Beneficial are experience with the theory of turbulence, climate
modeling, stochastic models, stochastic/conventional
parametrizations, as well as UNIX/Linux based computer environments,
modern environments of statistical computing (preferably R),
publication and presentation of scientific results.

Applications including a letter of motivation, a CV and copies of
relevant university certificates should be sent before October 19th,
2015 either by mail to

Freie Universit�t Berlin
