The Ifo Institute is one of the leading economic research institutes in Germany. Its international reputation is based on its research, service and policy advice. It is a member of the Leibniz Association and, as part of the CESifo Group, works closely with the University of Munich (LMU).
Our research team in the area of Climate Change and Energy Policy is being expanded to include the following position:
Doctoral position
The doctoral candidate will have the chance to earn a doctorate in the area of climate change and energy policy and will work on projects of this research team.
All doctoral candidates are expected to present their research results at conferences and as articles in refereed journals.
The successful candidates must have an excellent degree in economics as well as proficiency in English and German. Knowledge in the area of research (environmental and resource economics) as well as the theoretical foundations of economics (especially allocation and welfare theory) are expected. Ability to use econometric software programs (Matlab, Stata, Eviews or R) is advantageous.
The doctoral positions are for half of the normal working hours and pay is according to the German public service pay scale (TV-L) (half of E13). The contract is for an initial two years with the possibility of extending.
The Ifo Institute is an equal opportunity employer.
Please submit your written applications by 17 April 2009 to:

PhD position in regional climate modeling,Max Planck Inst for Meteorology (MPI-M)
The Max Planck Institute for Meteorology (MPI-M), a multidisciplinary Center for Climate and Earth System research located in Hamburg, Germany, invites applications for
PhD (m/f) in the field of regional climate modelling
For further information, please contact Lorenzo Tomassini via Email
The Ph.D will be part of the FP7 EU project SafeLand in the department "The Atmosphere in the Earth System" and will focus on the investigation of extreme precipitation events. High-resolution simulations, both hydrostatic and non-hydrostatic, will be performed with the regional climate model REMO over different regions in Europe in order to investigate characteristics of extreme rainfall events. Statistical methods of extreme value theory are supposed to be applied to establish links between local dynamical processes and large-scale atmospheric circulation patterns.
The applicant is expected to have an MSc or diploma in mathematics, physics, meteorology, oceanography, geosciences or a related field. A basic knowledge in programming and statistical data analysis is desired. The ability to work efficiently in a team is regarded as essential. There is the possibility to apply for the International Max Planck Research School on Earth System Modelling.
The position is offered for three years. Payment will be in accordance with German public service positions (TVoeD E13/2), including extensive social security plans. The conditions of employment follow the rules of the Max Planck Society for the Advancement of Sciences and those of the German civil service.
The Max Planck Institute for Meteorology seeks to increase the number of female scientists and encourages them to apply. Handicapped persons with comparable qualifications receive preferential status.
All applications (including a cover letter, a curriculum vitae, copies of scientific degrees, and the names and contact information of three references), received before 4 May 2009 will receive full consideration. The position will remain open until filled.
