Sea Ice Research and Modeling, Max Planck Institute for Meteorology, Hamburg, Germany

Selection Process Begins: Saturday, 15 March 2008, and continues until the positions are filled.

The Max Planck Institute for Meteorology in Hamburg, Germany, is seeking one postdoctoral fellow for sea ice research and one scientific programmer for sea ice modeling. The newly founded research group "Sea ice in the Earth System" will develop, implement, and use a next-generation sea ice model for climate studies. The model will be based on as few empirical approximations as possible, allowing a more realistic representation of air-ice-sea interaction both on a local and a global scale. The research group is actively involved in laboratory and field experiments and is running a cold lab that allows the development of new parameterizations for numerical and analytical models of sea ice.
