The University of Hamburg is seeking a Research Associate to join the "M2" project focused on advancing ocean parameterisations through mathematical, numerical, and data-driven approaches. The role involves developing multi-scale finite element methods, analyzing parameter patchiness in ocean models, and exploring scale interactions in discrete modeling. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in numerical analysis, Galerkin methods, and programming (preferably in Fortran or C/C++). This is an exciting opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge Earth science research while engaging in independent academic development.
