Post-doctoral Position in Cloud-Scale
Modelling at the Department of Meteorology. Reference number SU
FV-0698-13. Deadline for applications: April 20, 2013.
At the Department of Meteorology,
Stockholm University, we conduct research and education in an
international environment within four main areas: Atmospheric Physics,
Dynamic Meteorology, Physical Oceanography and Chemical Meteorology. In
all these areas there is a strong focus on the climate and on processes
important for the climate and it's development. About 75 employees
work at the department of which about 25 are scientists and almost 30
PhD students. The department is part of the Bolin Centre for Climate Research
where it together with three other departments at the university covers
research of most of the important aspects of the climate system.
Project description
Clouds are multiscale turbulent environments with important physics occurring on scales from microns to hundreds of meters and interacting in ways that remain poorly understood. The position will involve computationally-intensive approaches to such problems, including large-eddy simulation (LES) and direct numerical simulation (DNS), with attention to the interaction between microphysical and cloud-scale processes. Other aspects may be also considered depending on the applicant's strengths and interests.
