Research assistant (praedoc) (m/f/d)

CRC 1114 aims at methodological developments for the modelling and computational
simulation of complex processes involving many (more than two) interacting scales, driven
by real-life applications from the bio-, geo-, and material sciences. In its individual projects,
mathematicians cooperate with colleagues from the natural sciences to advance both their
modelling capabilities and their insight into concrete multiscale phenomena.

Job description:
Project C06 of the CRC focuses on scale interactions in the atmosphere. In this framework,
the researcher will investigate the interaction between a cold front and moist convection in a
case study with a numerical model. Feedbacks of the convection on the frontal structure and
evolution will be studied with sensitivity experiments.

Requirements:
Completed scientific university degree (Master's or similar) in meteorology, physics or
mathematics.

Desirable:
Experience in atmospheric dynamics and numerical modelling of the atmosphere. Fluency in
English and ability to work in a team.
