Your tasks

The subproject of the Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon will focus on eventbased storylines for a number of extreme events over Northern Germany and the German Bight and their attribution to anthropogenic climate warming. Regional spectrally nudged storyline simulations will be performed for present, preindustrial, and future climate states. The method was successfully implemented on a global scale for heat waves and droughts. These simulations will be downscaled to higher resolution using a regional climate model and will now be extended to cold winters, extratropical storms and storm surges. The overall goal is to achieve a quantification of climate change impacts for these extreme events.

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,
