The Institute for Geophysics and Meteorology, University of Cologne (IGMK), Germany,
invites application for several Research Assistant positions with the opportunity for graduation

(1) Novel observations of clouds using dual-frequency radar
(2) Scale-adaptive parameterization of convective boundary layer clouds
(3) Exploitation of high resolution reanalysis for renewable energy applications

Topics 1 and 2 are closely related to the Jülich ObservatorY for Cloud Evolution (JOYCE) where various ground-based remote sensors are operated and combined with model simulations. The positions are related to the Energy Transition and Climate Change (ET-CC) initiative within the University of Cologne, which was re-cently awarded to IGMK, and in which meteorology is linked to renewable energy economics, and the Hans-Ertel Centre for Weather Research (HErZ)- Retrospective Analysis of Regional Climate.
