    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.
  • Look at the BSC experience:

  • Let's stay connected with BSC Folks
  • 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 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 modelling, climate prediction and climate services in Europe.
The department is currently composed of about 105 people, including technical and support staff, structured in four distinct but interacting research groups:
Earth System Services (ESS), Atmospheric Composition (AC), Climate Prediction (CP) and Computational Earth Sciences (CES).

  • The AC group aims at better understanding and predicting the spatiotemporal variations of atmospheric pollutants along with their effects upon air quality, weather and climate. The group develops the Multiscale Online Nonhydrostatic AtmospheRe CHemistry model (MONARCH) and contributes to a variety of forecasting activities. The dust component of MONARCH runs operationally at the first WMO Regional Specialized Meteorological Center for Atmospheric Sand and Dust Forecast (i.e., the Barcelona Dust Forecast Center, BDFC), and contributes to multimodel ensemble forecasts both at the WMO Sand and Dust Storm Warning Advisory and Assessment System Regional Center (WMO SDS-WAS RC) for Northern Africa, the Middle East and Europe, and the International Cooperative for Aerosol Prediction (ICAP). Both WMO Regional Centers are cohosted by BSC and the Spanish Meteorological Agency (AEMET). MONARCH is currently joining the Copernicus Air Quality Regional Production Service of the European Commission. The group also develops and maintains the CALIOPE air quality system ("CALIdad del aire Operacional Para España"), which provides highresolution air quality forecasts over Europe and Spain using the inhouse emission model HERMES.
  • The AC group interacts with the CES group on the optimization of model codes, pre
- and post-processing tools, and operational model settings, with the CP group on the links between atmospheric aerosols and climate, and with the ESS group to enhance the use of air quality products and services.
  • The Models and Workflows team is devoted to the research and development of methodologies and tools essential to efficiently use the variety of computing resources available at the BSC and in other HPC institutions. The team is composed of 16 members and has strong connections with the Performance and Data teams, as well as with the scientific groups.
    Key Duties
  • The applicant will provide technical support for both computational and atmospheric composition engineers and researchers to run experiments using workflow managers and different shell or python scripts. The applicant will further develop and optimize the inhouse workflow manager tool to execute complex ensemblebased model configurations in a robust, flexible and computationallyefficient way
  • The applicant will provide technical support to solve the problems found by other researchers and engineers and do the necessary tests to validate and verify all the features of each model
  • The applicant will support other colleagues to include their own solutions into the set of tools developed and maintained by the Earth Sciences Department. The codes will be appropriately documented and updated using Git

Requirements:


  • Education
  • Having a BSc in Computer Science, Physics, Mathematics or related discipline
  • Essential Knowledge and Professional Experience
  • Excellent computing skills and experience with UNIX/LINUX environments and scripting languages (e.g. bash, Python)
  • Excellent programming skills to manage collaborative projects and experience with Git and/or SVN
  • Additional Knowledge and Professional Experience
  • Previous experience in a scientific area related to the position, in parti
