Research Engineer on aerosols forecast products (RE1/RE2) per el Barcelona Supercomputing Center

We are looking for an enthusiast research engineer to join the Atmospheric Composition (AC) group within the Earth Sciences department at the BSC-CNS. The AC group is currently composed of about 40 people among researchers, engineers and students of different nationalities. It aims at better understanding and predicting the spatiotemporal variations of atmospheric pollutants along with their effects upon air quality, weather and climate. This is addressed through the continuous development and application of numerical models over multiple scales, from weather to climate and from global to urban scales.

The BSC hosts the Barcelona Dust Regional Center, which provide forecasts of mineral dusts over Northern Africa, Middle East and Europe with an ensemble of state-of-the-art numerical models. The AC group also develops and maintains its own forecast model MONARCH, which is a coupled meteorological-chemistry model that can be run at global and regional scales to simulate gaseous chemistry and aerosols plus their feedbacks on radiation. With MONARCH a larger number of aerosols products tailored for aviation, solar energy and air-quality are provided on a daily base.

In the framework of a newly funded European project (ATARI), the AC group will provide training and know-how on dust modelling, assimilation and forecast products to early stage researchers and students from different countries. The successful candidate will work along with BSC researchers, atmospheric modelling and data management experts to deliver high quality training, covering multiple aspects from the evaluation of forecast products to the exploitation of tailored aerosols products for different applications.

Key Duties

• Collect forecast and observational aerosols data
• Prepare hands-on training sessions based on forecast and observational data
• Contribute to workshops and summer schools training sessions
• Write documentation, user guides and technical reports
• Contribute to dissemination and communication activities on aerosols science

Closing Date: Tuesday, 01 October, 2024
