Nachfolge Guy P. Brasseur

 

The Max Planck Institute for Meteorology (MPI-M) with its three Departments (The Atmosphere in the Earth System, The Land in the Earth System, The Ocean in the Earth System) is committed to basic research on climate and Earth system science. The Institute has an opening for the position of

Director and Head of the Department The Atmosphere in the Earth System, to succeed Professor Guy Brasseur. The position is equivalent to a tenured full professorship at a German university. There are no teaching obligations; however, the Institute participates in various teaching activities at the University of Hamburg and jointly with the University of Hamburg runs a Ph.D. program, the International Max Planck Research School on Earth System Modelling.

In this context, the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology organizes a symposium

Atmospheric Processes in Earth System Dynamics

in Hamburg on 23 April, 2007  at the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology
Bundesstr. 53, D-20146 Hamburg, ZMAW-Building, Room 022/023
