PhD Opportunity at Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research

Job opportunity at the Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine
Research, Department of
Climate Sciences, (starting as soon as possible)
Ph.D. student in combining gravity and ocean data in inverse ocean models
(Entg.Gr. 13/2 TVöD)
Satellite-based gravity observations in combination with sea surface
height measurements from
satellite altimetry can provide valuable information for estimates of
the ocean circulation. Traditionally
this information is available in a form that is difficult to interpret
in the context of ocean models.
Recently, new earth gravity models have been developed at the
Institute for Geodesy and
Geoinformation of the Bonn University that resolve this issue.
With the German Research Foundation (DFG) priority programme 1257
"Mass transport and mass
distribution in the system Earth" (http://www.massentransporte.de,
project RIFUGIO), these new
gravity field models will be combined with oceanic observations and
ocean models. One of the goals is
to investigate in process studies, how consistent information from
gravity field modelling is with current
ocean models, and how the new gravity models can contribute to
understanding the ocean circulation.
In close cooperations with members of the partner project at Bonn
University, these insights will be
used to find new estimates of the ocean circulation.
Tasks: Simulations with simple and complex inverse models of the ocean
circulation in close
collaboration with members of the partner project at Bonn University;
preparation and analysis of
observational data.
Requirements: Degree in oceanography, meteorology or physics (or
comparable fields with a sound
physical/mathematic education). A strong background in hydrodynamics,
oceanography and
mathematics is essential; strong interest in numerical studies;
experience with programming
languages (Fortran) and with large computer architectures;
sufficiently good oral and written English.
The position is limited to three years.
For further information, please contact Dr. M. Losch (Martin.Losch@awi.de).
Severely disabled applicants with essentially identical technical and
personal suitability will be
preferentially selected, please see our notification on our homepage
under job offers / jobs.
AWI specifically encourages female candidates to apply with a view
towards increasing the proportion
of female scientists.
AWI supports balanced work-life career development via a variety of
alternatives.
Please forward your applications by February 06, 2009 under reference
number 6/KLI to: Alfred-
Wegener-Institut for Polar- and Marine Research, Personal Department,

The way to AMINEF in Gedung Balai Pustaka

American Indonesian Exchange Foundation
Balai Pustaka Building, 6th. Floor
Jl. Gunung Sahari Raya No. 4
Jakarta 10720, Indonesia

1. The buses which goes to Senen Bus Station all of them pass through Gedung Balai Pustaka. Especially which route is through Pasar Baru .

2. Bus Transjakarta, from Blok M you have to change the bus 2-3 times.
Way 1 : from Blok M change the bus in Dukuh Atas bus stop to the bus towards Pulogadung, then take a bus in Pramuka bus stop towards Ancol, this bus pass through Gedung Balai Pustaka. The closest bus stop (Budi Utomo) is about 800 meters from Gedung Balai .
Way 2 : From Blok M take the bus in the Harmoni Bus Stop, the bus towards Pulogadung, get down in Senen Bus Stop and walk about 800 meters, or from this bus stop take the bus towards Ancol and get down as mentioned in way 1. About the distance, this two bus stops is about the same. (It is better if you take ojek or bajaj from this bus stop to Gedung Balai Pustaka)

3. If you take taxi with old tariff (TL=Tarif Lama) from blok M with no traffic jam is about Rp. 30.000,00.

4. From Blok M use bus Patas AC 76. Gedung Balai Pustaka is in the right side, after you pass through Depag, and say to conductor "Balai Pustaka"

5. Use a busway from Blok M towards Kota, get down in Sawah Besar bus stop. From here take a Mikrolet M12 towards Senen. After cross road Wahidin and before senen get down and cross the street.
