Researcher on Earth observation products (R3) - AI4S per el Barcelona Supercomputing Center

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.
