PhD position in regional climate modeling,Max Planck Inst for Meteorology (MPI-M)
The Max Planck Institute for Meteorology (MPI-M), a multidisciplinary Center for Climate and Earth System research located in Hamburg, Germany, invites applications for
PhD (m/f) in the field of regional climate modelling
For further information, please contact Lorenzo Tomassini via Email
The Ph.D will be part of the FP7 EU project SafeLand in the department "The Atmosphere in the Earth System" and will focus on the investigation of extreme precipitation events. High-resolution simulations, both hydrostatic and non-hydrostatic, will be performed with the regional climate model REMO over different regions in Europe in order to investigate characteristics of extreme rainfall events. Statistical methods of extreme value theory are supposed to be applied to establish links between local dynamical processes and large-scale atmospheric circulation patterns.
The applicant is expected to have an MSc or diploma in mathematics, physics, meteorology, oceanography, geosciences or a related field. A basic knowledge in programming and statistical data analysis is desired. The ability to work efficiently in a team is regarded as essential. There is the possibility to apply for the International Max Planck Research School on Earth System Modelling.
The position is offered for three years. Payment will be in accordance with German public service positions (TVoeD E13/2), including extensive social security plans. The conditions of employment follow the rules of the Max Planck Society for the Advancement of Sciences and those of the German civil service.
The Max Planck Institute for Meteorology seeks to increase the number of female scientists and encourages them to apply. Handicapped persons with comparable qualifications receive preferential status.
All applications (including a cover letter, a curriculum vitae, copies of scientific degrees, and the names and contact information of three references), received before 4 May 2009 will receive full consideration. The position will remain open until filled.

MSc. Optics and Photonics at Universität Karlsruhe
MSc. Optics and Photonics at Karlsruhe School of Optics & Photonics (KSOP)
KSOP Masters Education. We believe that a Ph.D. graduate school is unlikely to be successful without the background / infrastructure and the “funneling / filtering” through a corresponding associated, interdisciplinary coordinated masters program, aiming at attracting excellent students from abroad.
36 students per year can be admitted to our masters program. The best students of the masters program are supported by the KSOP Scholarship Program. Access to the KSOP masters education is granted via an application procedure.
A study plan is developed for each individual masters student (corresponding to his/her educational background) when entering the KSOP.
The MSc. course is divided into four stages providing the students with the necessary prerequisites
(Stage I: Introduction) , to give them a solid background on the most important topics within the wide and diverse field of Optics and Photonics
(Stage II: Core Subjects) and let them acquire specialized knowledge
(Stage III: Specialization) to be able to competently perform a six-month research project on a current topic of research (masters thesis). In addition, an 8-weeks industrial internship is scheduled between stages 2 and 3.
Scholarship
The KSOP scholarship amounts to 800 Euro/month for international students and 400 Euro/month for German students. Part of the scholarship is a research assistantship. Within the scope of this assistantship, you will have the opportunity to work on a research project in one of the KSOP institutes.
The scholarship is first admitted for 12 months. At the end you have to proof your successful participation in the KSOP M.Sc. Program through very good study results in order to extend the scholarship for another 12 months.
Guideline for Scholarship Application
Step 1 - Fill out the KSOP scholarship application form
You can apply for a scholarship at the KSOP Office after having applied for the program M.Sc. in Optics & Photonics. Please fill out the KSOP Scholarship application form. The application deadline for the upcoming winter semester is July 15 each year.
Please note that you have to send your scholarship documents seperately from your application to the student office, the KSOP Office or the international student office respectively.
You will receive feedback from the KSOP Office on your scholarship application after July 15.
