*Open position for a PhD student (IMK-IFU01-08)*

Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe GmbH is one of the largest natural science and
engineering research institution in Europe. Our Atmospheric Environmental
Research Division (IMK-IFU) of the Institute for Meteorology and Climate
Research has a long tradition in atmospheric environmental research, with
its main emphasis on studying the impact of anthropogenic activities on the
interactions between atmosphere and biosphere, air quality, regional
climate, and hydrology. Studies in these research fields are characterised
by an interdisciplinary and integrated approach involving field
measurements, process studies and numerical modelling. Results obtained in
these research fields are used for defining reliable and efficient
mitigation and adaptation strategies.

For numerical modelling tasks within the project “Verification of the
turbulence parameterization and the description of the vertical structure of
the marine atmospheric boundary layer in numerical simulation models for
wind analysis and forecasts (VERITAS)” we offer a position for a
*PhD student*

for a three year term as soon as possible. We seek a person who is
interested in numerical simulation strategies in atmospheric environmental
research and who has a master (Diplom) degree preferably in meteorology,
flow engineering, mathematics or physics. Experience in numerical modelling
would be an advantage but is not required. The work will comprise running
mesoscale numerical models and the evaluation of offshore turbulence data.

The remuneration will be in accordance to the German public service
regulations (TVöD 13/2).

The position is open immediately. Please send as soon as possible (but not
later than *September 30, 2008*) applications with the usual documents to
the address below (preferably by e-mail), from where you can get also
additional information.
