About BSC
The Barcelona Supercomputing Center
Centro Nacional de Supercomputación (BSC-CNS) is the leading supercomputing center in Spain. It houses MareNostrum, one of the most powerful supercomputers in Europe, and is a hosting member of the PRACE European distributed supercomputing infrastructure. The mission of BSC is to research, develop and manage information technologies in order to facilitate scientific progress. BSC combines HPC service provision and R&D into both computer and computational science (life, earth and engineering sciences) under one roof, and currently has over 800 staff from 55 countries.

We are particularly interested for this role in the strengths and lived experiences of women and underrepresented groups to help us avoid perpetuating biases and oversights in science and IT research.
Context And Mission
We are looking for a motivated researcher with strong data management and quantitative analysis skills to join the Lancet Countdown in Europe: Tracking Progress on Health and Climate Change.
The Lancet Countdown is an independent, international, and multidisciplinary collaboration that monitors the health impacts of climate change, and progress or lack thereof in the world's response. It draws on the expertise of more than 120 climate scientists, economists, energy and transport experts, social and political scientists, public health experts and health professionals, spanning 38 academic and UN institutions. The Lancet Countdown comprises the Global centre, hosted at University College London's Institute for Global Health and partners with one of the world's leading medical journals
The Lancet, and four regional centres in Asia (hosted by Tsinghua University in China), South America (hosted by Cayetano Heredia University (UPCH) in Peru), Small Island and Developing States (hosted by University of West Indies in Jamaica), and Europe (hosted by the Barcelona Supercomputing Center in Spain).
The Lancet Countdown in Europe was launched on 23 September 2021 as a transdisciplinary research collaboration whose mission is to monitor health and climate change in the European region. Building on the work of the global Lancet Countdown and other regions, it leverages on the wealth of data and cross disciplinary expertise in Europe, to develop highresolution Europespecific indicators that explore in further depth aspects of relevance to the region.

The initiative mirrors the approach of the global Lancet Countdown and monitors health dimensions of climate change in Europe across five key domains:
i) climate change impacts; exposures, and vulnerability; ii) adaptation planning and resilience for health; iii) mitigation actions and health co-benefits; iv) economics and finance; and v) politics and governance.

Indicators are refined on an annual basis as new data and better methods become available.- The Earth Sciences Department conducts ground-breaking research in Earth system modelling.

The department focuses on multiscale (global to urban) air quality and meteorological modelling, global and regional mineral dust modelling, as well as global and regional climate modelling.

The department has played a leading role in multiple FP7 and H2020 European projects and currently coordinates and contributes to several Copernicus Atmospheric Monitoring Services and Copernicus Climate Change Services projects.

The department comprises five groups:

Climate Variability and Change, Atmospheric Composition, Computational Earth Sciences, Earth System Services and Global Health Resilience, with more than 150 employees, including researchers and technical staff.- The research fellow will be responsible for providing analytical and data management support to the collaboration's key academic outputs (including its annual indicator report and national case studies); working with its academic experts to advance the data and methods of the Lancet Countdown in Europe outputs; coordinate the annual indicator assessment and peer-review; and conducting novel analysis on the links between health and climate change to further support the Lancet Countdown's communications outreach and policy engagement work, as well as additional academic and research outputs.

This position presents an opportunity to work alongside a wide range of leading international climate and health scientists delivering cuttingedge policy relevant indicators to climate and health policy makers across Europe and worldwide.
