**Context And Mission

The Department of Earth Sciences of the Barcelona Supercomputing Centre-Centro Nacional de Supercomputación (BSC-CNS), BSC-ES henceforth ) is one of the most active groups in air quality and atmospheric composition modeling, climate prediction and climate services in Europe.

The department is currently composed of about 120 people, including scientists and technical and support staff, and is structured in four distinct but interacting research groups:
Atmospheric Composition (AC), Climate Prediction, Earth System Services (ESS), and Computational Earth Sciences.


The group hosts air quality and climate researchers, research engineers, physicists, social scientists, economists, epidemiologists, and communication experts who work to bring the latest developments in earth sciences to society.

ESS has an interdisciplinary approach with several lines of expertise working together and collaborating with the other research groups within the Earth Sciences Department.

**Key Duties

  • Implementation, execution and monitoring of atmospheric numerical models (e.g. MONARCH) in a High-Performance Computing environment.
  • Analyse and evaluate model results against observations, prepare charts and reports of the results.
  • Perform innovative useroriented research, interact with users and facilitate technology transfer.
  • Work together with atmospheric composition scientist and IT developers.
  • Communicate scientific results within the Department, in international conferences and write quality papers in scientific publications.
  • Involvement in the preparation of competitive grants and projects.
