Scientist for Innovative HPC-Methods in Cloud Modelling (m, f, d)

The Leibniz Institute for Tropospheric Research is a research institute of the Leibniz

Association and an internationally renowned institute in the field of aerosol and cloud

research.

In the BMBF-funded project consortium "IFCES2 - With Intra-model Functional

Concurrency towards Efficient Exascale Earth System Predictions", innovative HPC

methods are being developed to optimize the national weather forecast and Earth system

model ICON for future exascale supercomputers. The work will be carried out in close

cooperation with leading supercomputing centers TU Dresden, Deutsches

Klimarechenzentrum and Jülich Supercomputing Centre and represents an important

contribution to a highly relevant area of climate research. To this end, TROPOS is

contributing its expertise in the detailed modeling of clouds to the project consortium and

plans to apply functional concurrency and dynamic load balancing to make novel model

simulations of tropical cyclones possible for the first time.
