Barcelona Supercomputing Centre

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 1000 staff from 60 countries.

The CVG group conducts state-of-the-art research on climate change focusing on understanding drivers and obtaining accurate predictions of changing conditions and weather extremes. The group works closely with other related groups at BSC which focus on delivering sector-relevant climate information to the public sector to inform adaptation (the Climate Services group) and assess the health consequences of climate change (the Global Health Resilience group).

The Climate Variability and Change (CVG) group is seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to analyse climate risks to food security in Europe, specifically focusing on risks to food inflation and their implications for health in the UK.

The selected candidate will work within the UKRI funded project “Adapting to climate-induced food price shocks in the UK”, in collaboration with environmental and health scientists as well as policy specialists from the UK.

The role will involve a mix of statistical modelling of historical climate impacts, and evaluating future risks under scenarios of future climate change simulated by climate models. The candidate will work closely with Dr Maximilian Kotz to build on prior expertise in this area at BSC.
