Description
The IMPRS on Earth System Modeling (IMPRS-ESM) is a multi- and interdisciplinary doctoral program that associates several German research institutions. Students contribute to the development and application of numerical models of different complexities, including natural aspects as well as the human dimension. Through the development of integrated Earth system models the IMPRS-ESM contributes to an improved understanding of the global environment and the prediction of interactions and feed backs in between the individual components of the Earth system.
The research topic must concern in critical transitions in the terrestrial components of the Earth system, Effects of land use change on soil carbon stocks and climate, Potentials and side-effects of afforestation for climate change mitigation, Ice-age ocean circulation, Extreme Events at different spatial and temporal scales, Thermodynamics of the Asian Monsoonal Circulation, Towards coupled data assimilation in a climate model, The role of turbulent mixing in the ocean circulation.
Benefits:
Generally 2 types of funding can be offered (besides contracts with third-party funded students) which offer approximately EUR 1,400 monthly net payment.
Eligibility
- Our PhD Program is open to applicants holding a Master’s degree (with written thesis) or a German ‘Diploma’ in physics, geophysical sciences, (incl. meteorology and oceanography), chemistry, ecology, mathematics, computer science, engineering, economics, or political science.
- Also students currently still working on their MSc thesis are encouraged to apply.
