Job description:

The position to be filled is embedded in the project ASPIRE - Advancing Subseasonal Predlctions at Reduced Computational Effort, which is funded by the European Research Council (ERC) through a Starting Grant.

With this opening, we are looking for an early career researcher working on:

the implementation of probabilistic AI-based weather forecasting systems in collaboration with the Junior Research Group "Robust and Efficient AI" at KIT-SCC

- the fine-tuning of AI-based weather forecasting models with a special focus on the source region of forecast errors
- the fine-tuning of AI-based weather forecasting models and implementation of locally higher resolution using simulation data generated with ICON, the NWP model of German Weather Service
- outreach activities and public relations for ASPIRE, e.g through the project's website and representation at conferences and workshops
- development of a user-infrastructure for model deployment available to the public
- preparation and publication of scientific papers

We offer an exciting and dynamic work environment in a newly established Young Investigator Group "Meteorological Data Science" at KIT, one of the largest institutions of research and higher education in natural sciences and engineering in Europe.

Interactions with the KIT-based research groups Robust and Efficient AI (Dr. Charlotte Debus), Atmospheric Dynamics (Prof. Peter Knippertz) and Tropical Meteorology (Prof. Andreas Fink) are part of the position. Furthermore, we collaborate closely with German Weather Service and researchers at research institutions in Europe and North America. Networking and training opportunities for early career researchers are offered at KIT.

This research center is part of the Helmholtz Association of German Research Centers. With more than 42,000 employees and an annual budget of over € 5 billion, the Helmholtz Association is Germany's largest scientific organisation._

Company:

The Helmholtz Association contributes to solving major challenges to assure the future of our society.

With more than 39,000 people on staff in 18 national research centres, the Helmholtz Association is Germany's largest scientific organization.

The name Helmholtz stands for concerted research in which networks form the key principle behind inquiring thought and action. Concerted research is efficient and flexible.

The profile of the Helmholtz Association
The Helmholtz Association performs cutting-edge research which contributes substantially to solving the grand challenges of science, society and industry.

To succeed in meeting these responsibilities, Helmholtz concentrates its work in six research fields:
Energy, Earth and Environment, Health, Key Technologies, Matter, as well as Aeronautics, Space and Transport. Within each of these fields, research programs are developed by our scientists and regularly evaluated by renowned international experts. Their evaluation forms the basis for the programme-oriented funding that is allocated to Helmholtz research.

Within the six research fields, Helmholtz scientists cooperate with each other and with external partners - working across disciplinary, organizational and national borders.

Promoting young academics

Helmholtz scientists, a high-performance infrastructure and modern and efficient research management are the ingredients to the Helmholtz Association's success and global impact.

Promoting young researchers is a major priority for the Helmholtz Association. Its qualification schemes for young researchers are geared mainly towards PhD students, postdocs and young managers. The Helmholtz Association has set high standards for its talent management.

Its strategy begins with targeted recruitment of highly qualified staff at all levels, followed by comprehensive support aimed at further developing their potential.

Ensuring equal opportunities is an essential element in all talent management activities undertaken by the Helmholtz Association.

The Helmholtz Graduate Schools and
Research Schools at almost all Helmholtz Centres provide doctoral students with the general and specific skills and training they need, as well as ample opportunity to network with other working groups. The period following a doctorate is decisive in determining the direction and success of a scientific career. For this reason, we are about to establish Career Centers for postdoctoral researchers in the Helm
