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 (BSC-ES henceforth) conducts interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary research to enhance the societal value of climate air quality prediction. The Department actively engages with society, decision-makers and businesses to exchange knowledge and develop user-oriented services. The aim is to enhance knowledge and technology integration and improve resilience, by accelerating adaptation to a rapidly changing environment.

The department is seeking a junior scientist to work on the process and use of satellite images for scientific applications. The successful candidate will develop and implement strategies to make use of data from current and future satellite missions to develop new capabilities for atmospheric composition, emissions, climate, or climate and air quality impacts. Research may cover a wide range of topics, from the development of novel methods and algorithms to high-level products. The candidate is expected to leverage AI technologies to introduce innovations in the domain and have the initiative to create a robust research line in the department.

The candidate is expected to engage in collaborations with several ongoing department activities. Experience working in interdisciplinary and international teams is key for the position. The position is ideal for a young scientist who wants to create a new team within a leading European institution.

The selected candidate will benefit from communication training. BSC staff benefits from an international multidisciplinary scientific environment, and advanced applied research training.
