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, was a founding and hosting member of the former European HPC infrastructure PRACE (Partnership for Advanced Computing in Europe), and is now hosting entity for EuroHPC JU, the Joint Undertaking that leads largescale investments and HPC provision in Europe. 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 900 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
The Earth Sciences Department of Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC-ES) led by Prof Francisco Doblas-Reyes develops, among other research tools, global climate models to perform a range of climate experiments at frontier (storm and eddyresolving) spatial resolutions. The Department is looking for a senior researcher to assist in the development and analysis of the highresolution global simulations with the IFS/NEMO climate model. Applicants with a more junior background but demonstrated experience in high resolution modelling are also encouraged.
The position offered is funded by the European projects EERIE and EXPECT, and involves providing scientific feedback to improve the physical soundness of the a Digital Twin based on IFS-NEMO developed within the Destination Earth initiative, leading the production of cutting edge simulations with a high resolution version of IFS-NEMO, and contributing to their scientific analysis.
Key Duties
Provide scientific inputs for the development of the new very high resolution configuration with NEMO4 and IFS
Performing the production experiments with this new model configuration
Preparing and submitting supercomputing access proposals to support the production of the high resolution simulations
Lead scientific analyses on the role of mesoscale airsea interactions in shaping the response of the atmospheric circulation in the North Atlantic to climate change, and its subsequent impacts on European hydroclimate extremes
Participate in the supervision of the junior members of the group involved in both projects
Coordinate the BSC contributions to several project deliverables
Explore new funding opportunities on high resolution climate modeling and leading the BSC the participation in new proposals

Requirements:

Education
PhD in atmospheric science, applied mathematics, engineering, fluid dynamics or in a related discipline
Essential Knowledge and Professional Experience
Postdoctoral experience will be valued

Proven ability to prepare and submit manuscripts to peer-review journals

A demonstrated ability to develop experimental set ups that address specific climate modeling problems
Experience in ocean/atmosphere modelling (or environmental modelling) and in handling climate model output
Programming skills: scripting (e.g. bash, python), data analysis and visualization software (e.g. CDO, NCO, R, Python, NCL)
Experience in handling large datasets, and a minimum knowledge of NetCDF encoding
Additional Knowledge and Professional Experience
Interest and capacity in participating in the writing and, when possible, leading the preparation of research and computing proposals
Interest in tutoring and/or advising master and PhD students
Competences
Fluency in spoken and written English, while fluency in other European languages will be also valued Highly collaborative spirit and ability to work 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 (37.5h/week), 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
Holidays: 23 paid vacation days plus 24th and 31st of December per our collective agreement
Starting date: 01/01/2024
