We are now opening a 3-year position for
The successful candidate will be part of the International Max Planck Research School on Earth System Modeling (IMPRS) working within the Department of Climate Physics (CPH), but closely affiliated with the Computational Infrastructure and Model Development group of our Scientific Computing Lab.
Within the climate physics department we are developing a new method for representing cloud microphysical processes for exa-scale computing applications. For this we are designing and refining the implementation of particle transport algorithms to be used to couple the CLEO super droplet method, with Earth system models. Your project will be to design and optimize these algorithms (PATRA), taking advantage of existing libraries, to exploit asynchronous coupling and expose parallelism through concurrency. You will work as part of a team to eventually apply the methods you develop to perform large-scale simulations on the largest computational platforms worldwide, simulations that will give new insight into how microphysical processes influence the climate system.
We look forward to receiving your online application by 28 May 2025 (17:00 CEST).
Interviews are expected to take place on 13 June 2025.
The Max Planck Institute for Meteorology (MPI-M) is a multidisciplinary center for climate and Earth system research located in Hamburg, Germany. It is one of the premier climate science research institutes in the world. Located in the heart of one of Europe’s most livable and vibrant cities, it provides a highly international and interdisciplinary environment to conduct scientific research as well as access to state-of-the-art scientific facilities. You can also take a virtual tour of our campus.
