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.
