Post-doctoral Position in Cloud-Scale Modelling at the Department of Meteorology. Reference number SU FV-0698-13.


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.

The position is funded by the Swedish e-Science Research Centre (SeRC) and strong interaction is expected with other SeRC participants, in particular the Department of Mechanics and FLOW at KTH, the Royal Institute of Technology.
