The candidate will work in the ESS group. The ESS group develops climate and air quality services, facilitating knowledge and technology transfer of state-of-the-art research at local, national, and international levels. The main purpose is to demonstrate the ongoing value of climate prediction services, atmospheric composition, and weather forecasting to society and key sectors of the economy, such as renewable energy, urban development, infrastructure, transport, insurance, health, and agriculture.
The group hosts air quality and climate researchers, research engineers, physicists, social scientists, economists, epidemiologists, and communication experts who work to bring the latest developments in earth sciences to society. ESS has an interdisciplinary approach with several lines of expertise working together and collaborating with the other research groups within the Earth Sciences Department.
Cutting-edge operational forecast services on climate, air quality, and airborne dust are created by ESS via collaboration with public administration, from our involvement as leaders in multinational partnerships, as well as through private contracts with companies willing to exploit the opportunities that arise from disposing of information on future climate and air quality. Close collaboration with stakeholders pioneering the application of this knowledge in their operative decisions is essential to foster adaptation to climate change and move towards a more resilient and sustainable society.
The ESS is looking for a Junior Research Engineer in air quality modeling willing to perform multidisciplinary research and provide user-tailored products for European and national projects. The position will interact with researchers from different areas (e.g., health, mobility, and social sciences) to perform advanced data analysis on existing air quality, health, and mobility databases. Successful candidates will benefit from the training program and BSC-CNS staff benefits: an international multidisciplinary scientific environment, advanced research training, and advanced computational facilities. We encourage applications from highly motivated physicists, engineers, and mathematicians (and related disciplines) with outstanding qualifications.
Key Duties
- Analyze and evaluate model results against observations; prepare charts and reports.
- Data science and implementation of new machine learning workflows to analyze interactions among mobility, air quality, socio-economic variables, and health.
- Perform innovative user-oriented research, interact with users, and facilitate technology transfer.
- Multidisciplinary research, working with atmospheric composition scientists, IT developers, and health and mobility experts.
- Communicate scientific results within the Department, in international conferences and write quality papers in scientific publications.
- Involvement in the preparation of competitive grants and projects.
