PhD position "Data-based Probabilistic Parameter Estimation for Ocean and Earth System Models" (m/f/d)

The Alfred Wegener Institute Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research (AWI) is a member of the Helmholtz Association (HGF) and funded by federal and state government. AWI focuses on polar and marine research in a variety of disciplines such as biology, oceanography, geology, geochemistry and geophysics thus allowing multidisciplinary approaches to scientific goals. Background Climate models are essential for understanding complex physical and biogeochemical interactions across the planet. However, these models rely on many parameters that are necessary to accurately describe the effects of small-scale structures and processes that cannot be directly simulated. The project's goal is to develop data-driven methods of accurate, efficient parameter estimation in climate models.
