Postdoc Position – 2019 in Forschungszentrum Jülich GmbH, Germany

Forschungszentrum Jülich GmbH, Germany invites application for Postdoc Position – 2019 from eligible and interested candidates

Designation/Position- Postdoc  

About- The Institute for Energy and Climate Research – Troposphere (IEK-8) investigates the chemistry of the troposphere, performs global observations, and simulates atmospheric chemistry and transport processes using numerical models.
Skilful forecasting of clouds and irradiance prediction is important for the short-term predictions of photovoltaic power. Deterministic differential equations, need to be extended to stochastic formulation, which accounts for the uncertainties of input and steering parameters. 

Major Scientific Big Data Analytics (SBDA) methods are to be applied with supervised learning as well as parallel and scalable classification algorithms.

Research/Job Area- Meteorology, computational physics, applied mathematics or a comparable discipline

Project Title- Development of probabilistic mesoscale modelling for Cloud and Solar Power Prediction

Location- The Institute for Energy and Climate Research – Troposphere (IEK-8), Forschungszentrum Jülich GmbH, Germany

Eligibility/Qualification–

  • Doctoral degree in meteorology, computational physics, applied mathematics or a comparable discipline
  • Profound knowledge in atmospheric physics, and a strong interest in international collaboration
  • Besides strong technical and organizational skills, it is expected that the results of the research are presented in peer reviewed publications and at international conferences
  • Proven experience in numerical modelling and parallel programming skills using state of the art software languages, such as FORTRAN 90 or C(++), is a requirement
  • Experiences with big data analytics and deep learning methods is an advantage
  • Sound command of English language is mandatory

Offer by Research group
