Barcelona Supercomputing Center

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 large-scale 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 looking for an enthusiastic researcher to join our group for a position focusing on the combined use of climate simulations and Earth observations to constrain climate predictions and projections. The candidate will combine large ensembles of climate simulations and Earth observations to develop refined predictions and projections of the future climate, seeking to improve the predicted changes in climate extremes for the next 1-20 years and to understand and attribute the processes driving these changes. The position aims to exploit in particular Earth observations of the land surface (e.g. soil moisture, vegetation) and ocean (e.g. sea surface height, ocean heat content) states for improved predictions and projections of climate change.
The offered position will contribute to the Horizon Europe project EXPECT (https://cordis.europa.eu/project/id/101137656).

The candidate will perform independent research, contribute to the completion of project deliverables, and actively publish the scientific results in high-quality journals.

This is an open-ended position subject to follow-up funding availability.
