The Max Planck Institute for Meteorology conducts fundamental research focusing on climate related problems. The institute is situated in an attractive downtown area of Hamburg, Germany, and provides a highly stimulating international scientific environment. We are seeking applicants for
1 PhD Position in Earth System Research (reference P32)
Within the interdisciplinary project HOBIMED in tight cooperation with oceanographers, geologists and geochemists a coupled physical-biogeochemical model of the ocean will be applied to the Mediterranean Sea. The goal is to understand how the strong climatic variations in the Eastern Mediterranean during the last 12,000 years have led to the dramatic oxygen depletion events deduced from marine sediment cores. Good programming skills (especially FORTRAN90), an interest in marine biogeochemistry and a diploma/master degree in a related field are required.
The research will be part of the Program INTERDYNAMIK funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft. For questions related with science please contact

The appointments are initially for two years with possible extension to 3 years. Submit your application together with a detailed curriculum vitae and the names, addresses and telephone numbers of two references.
Applications should be sent with reference P32 to Mr. R. Letscher, Head of Administration, Max Planck Institute for Meteorology, Bundesstrasse 53, D-20146 Hamburg, Germany, reiner.letscher@zmaw.de

seek a Ph.D candidate in the field of earthquake source seismology for
the subject:
Oceanic Microseisms and Microearthquakes (OMM)
Host institution and PhD defense will be at Potsdam.
The project is part of a DFG research bundle in array seismology and is funded for three years as a full PhD position (TV-L E13-Ost). Strong cooperation between Hamburg and Potsdam and with partners of the bundle is foreseen.
General goal is to improve the knowledge regarding point-like quasi-continuous oceanic sources and on weak seismicity along mid-oceanic ridges with a focus to the North and South Atlantic. The project aims to develop and improve new approaches for source inversion of events. Seismological three component arrays and conventional data are used and full waveform and migration techniques are combined. Continuous data will be searched to detect point-like sources, for instance earthquakes, submarine vulcanic eruptions or oceanic microseisms.
We expect strong motivated candidates with a diploma or MSc. in geophysics, physics, mathematics or similar field and expertise in scientific data analysis. Practical skills in software development (C/C++, Unix/Linux) is a plus. The application should include a full CV, names of two referees and a general statement on the career plans and motivation of the candidate. The position is open until filled.
Potsdam University is an equal opportunity employer.
