Descripción
**Context And Mission
This position will be hosted in the Climate Variability and Change (CVC) Group within BSC's Earth Science Department.

The CVC Group undertakes fundamental research to (1) understand climate variability and change, including for climate extremes, (2) investigate global biogeochemical dynamics, and the effectiveness and impacts of carbon removal technologies to mitigate climate change, (3) develop new Earth System modeling capabilities, and (4) improve our ability to forecast the climate variations from one month to multiple decades into the future, both at global and regional scales.


The offered position will contribute to the newly funded Horizon Europe project CERISE, building on results from the H2020 CONFESS project.

CERISE will develop new and innovative coupled land-atmosphere data assimilation approaches and land initialisation techniques to pave the way for the next generations of the C3S (Copernicus Climate Change Service) reanalysis and seasonal prediction systems, and develop diagnostic tools to assess the extent to which these developments improve the physical consistency of model components and enable improved predictions.

**Key Duties

  • Create and assess the timevarying land cover and LAI datasets
  • Collaborate with colleagues and external partners in the integration of these datasets in the ECMWF preoperational framework
  • Lead the preparation of scientific publications, and present the research at scientific workshops and conferences
  • Analyze the contributions of vegetation and landuse change to the global carbon cycle in the CVC group's climate projections and neartime climate predictions
**Requirements
Education

  • PhD in spatial modelling, landuse change, geography, or a related discipline
Essential Knowledge and Professional Experience

  • Demonstrated experience in the analysis of geospatial and remote sensing data
  • Proven ability to prepare and submit manuscripts to peerreviewed scientific journals
  • Programming skills: scripting (e.g. bash, Python, R), opensource spatial data analysis and visualization software (e.g. GeoPandas, rspatial, QGis)
Additional Knowledge and Professional Experience

  • Interest and capacity in participating in the writing of research and computing proposals
  • Experience with vegetation model and/or climate model data
  • Knowledge of version control systems (git, svn,)
Competences

  • Fluency in spoken and written English
  • Highly collaborative spirit and ability to work independently as part of a large, stronglycoordinated team and to continuously share both knowledge and tools
**Conditions

  • The position will be located at BSC within the Earth Sciences Department
  • We offer a fulltime contract, a good working environment, a highly stimulating environment with stateoftheart infrastructure, flexible working hours, extensive training plan, restaurant tickets, private health insurance, support to the relocation procedures
  • Duration: Openended contract due to technical and scientific activities linked to the project and budget duration
  • Starting date: Asap
