Postdoctoral Scholar (m/f) - Geophysics
For Section 2.3 "Earth's Magnetic Field" in Department 2 "Geophysics" we invite applications for a
Postdoctoral scholar (m/f)
Reference No. 94/23/16 G
Starting date: as soon as possible
Fixed term: 3+3 years with possibility for permanent position
Working hours: full-time (currently 39 h/week). The position is, in principle, suitable for part-time employment
Salary: EG 13 TVöD-Bund (Tarifgebiet Ost)
Location: Potsdam
The successful candidate will work in collaboration with researchers at GFZ and UCLA and other institutions in greater Berlin metropolitan area on the development of numerical codes and comparison with in-situ observations. The research will be focused on understanding of the wave-particle interactions and the dynamics of energetic particles in the near-Earth space. The candidate is expected to have demonstrated experience of working with numerical simulations and observations. Both researchers several years after PhD and more senior scientists will be considered for this position. The level of appointment will depend on experience and demonstrated ability to conduct independent research.
Your tasks:
Perform calculations of the diffusion coefficients and simulations with the Versatile Electron Radiation Belt Code include and test various physical processes into the code compare simulations with satellite observations develop empirical and physics based models of plasma populations.
DESIRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE
Your qualifications:
Master's degree or equivalent and PhD degree in Natural Sciences
excellence in learning, research and independent thinking
willingness to work in an interdisciplinary and international environment
ability to independently develop novel research approaches
knowledge of general physics and space physics
working knowledge of Matlab, C, C++, Fortran
working knowledge of UNIX, MAC, and Windows operating systems
optional knowledge of svn or git
