Internship on Science Communication at the Earth Sciences Department per al Barcelona Supercomputing Center

The Earth Sciences (ES) Department of the Barcelona Supercomputing Center-Centro Nacional de Supercomputación (BSC-CNS), led by Prof Francisco Doblas-Reyes, performs computational research on global climate, weather, and air quality based on process-based modelling. It also enhances the societal value of the results generated by actively engaging with society, decision-makers, and businesses, as well as exchanging knowledge to develop user-oriented services.

The ES Department is looking for an internship candidate from any nationality with mixed experience in natural and communication sciences and dissemination to carry out communication and dissemination tasks that support stakeholder engagement in the framework of climate and weather modelling projects.

The selected person will closely collaborate with a diverse and international team of researchers, engineers, social scientists, and communication experts within the Department and in the context of EU-funded research projects.

Experience working in interdisciplinary and international research teams and the design and creation of scientific communication and dissemination materials and content is vital for the position. Interest in the topic of climate and weather modelling is a plus.
