Germany - University of Bonn PhD Position in Numerical Modeling of Atmospheric Chemical Process
November 25th, 2007

Research field:
Numerical modeling of atmospheric chemical processes
Position:
A PhD position is available at the Meteorological Institute of the University of Bonn.
Together with another Postdoc student, the applicant will work within a common research project of the Meteorological Institutes of the Universities of Bonn and Mainz and the Max-Planck-Institute for Chemistry in Mainz.
Contract:
The research is funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG). It is limited to a three year period with a salary TVL 13/2.
Proposed research of the project:
Numerical modeling of chemical processes in the atmosphere is essential to increase our understanding of atmospheric composition and its changes induced by human activity. In recent years, global-scale atmospheric models have been developed that calculate the concentration and processing of atmospheric trace constituents. However, for key problems, auch as local air quality and long-range transport from local sources, the development of high-resolution models is essential.
In this project such a model will be developed. The model will be driven by consistent meteorological and chemical fields. This will be achieved through an online coupling of the global ECHAM5/MESSy system with the COSMO-model of the German Meteorological
Service. First applications of the newly developed model COSMO-MESSy will serve to investigate its capabilities for a detailed analysis of field measurements, the direct simulation of mesoscale chemical perturbations like dust and biomass burning plumes, and an assessment and forecast of local air quality.
Qualifications:
Diploma/Master in meteorology, physics, informatics, mathematics or related fields.
Experience with numerical modeling of atmospheric processes.
Skills in, Linux, FORTRAN, IDL or others.
