The MPS develops and operates scientific instruments for current and future space missions (e.g. ESA, NASA), and carries out cosmochemical laboratory investigations of meteorites as well as numerical modeling on state-of-the-art supercomputers.
The Planetary Department at MPS invites applications for the position of a Postdoctoral researcher (f/m/d).
The candidate will work on a general circulation model of Jupiter’s stratosphere within the framework of the science operations of the Submillimetre Wavelength Instrument (SWI) onboard ESA's JUpiter ICy Moons Explorer (JUICE).
Candidates must hold a PhD within the field of planetary science or related fields, have experience in dynamical modeling of planetary atmospheres with preference of Jupiter’s middle and upper atmosphere, have experience in parallelization of numerical codes including applications in GPUs (CUDA/OpenCL), and coding experience in Fortran, Phython, or C/C++ under Linux environment. A good publication record and good command of spoken and written English is required.
