The Barcelona Supercomputing Center - Centro Nacional de Supercomputación (BSC-CNS) is the leading supercomputing center in Spain. It houses Mare Nostrum, 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 Euro HPC 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.

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. In instances of equal merit, the incorporation of the under-represented sex will be favoured.

We promote Equity, Diversity and Inclusion, fostering an environment where each and every one of us is appreciated for who we are, regardless of our differences.

If you consider that you do not meet all the requirements, we encourage you to continue applying for the job offer. We value diversity of experiences and skills, and you could bring unique perspectives to our team.

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 eddy-resolving) spatial resolutions. The Department is looking for a research engineer or scientist to assist in the development of the high-resolution global simulations with the IFS/NEMO climate model. Applicants with a more scientific background are also encouraged.

The candidate will first participate in the development of a Climate Digital Twin for Climate Adaptation based on the IFS-NEMO-SI3 global model as part of the BSC contribution to the Destination Earth European initiative to deliver cutting-edge climate simulations of unprecedented accuracy. The candidate will later contribute to the European Project EERIE, where a global eddy-resolving version of IFS-NEMO-SI3 will be used to investigate whether and how ocean mesoscale interactions (never resolved before at coupled global scales) provide a new understanding of future climate change .
