Postdoc on high resolution modeling (RE2/R2) per al Barcelona Supercomputing Center

The Earth Sciences Department at the Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC-ES), led by Prof. Francisco Doblas-Reyes, develops advanced global climate models to conduct a wide range of climate experiments at cutting-edge spatial resolutions, including storm- and eddy-resolving scales. The Department is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to assist in the development and analysis of high-resolution global simulations using the IFS/NEMO climate model.

This position, funded by the European project EERIE, involves (1) providing scientific feedback to improve the physical robustness of a Digital Twin based on IFS-NEMO, developed at BSC within the Destination Earth initiative; (2) leading the production of state-of-the-art simulations with an eddy-resolving version of IFS-NEMO; and (3) contributing to scientific analyses focused on the influence of ocean eddies on the future European climate, including their role in high-impact extreme events.

Key Duties

• Provide scientific inputs for the development of the eddy-resolving version of the model NEMO-IFS
• Conducting historical and future scenario simulations with this new model configuration, with additional idealized storyline experiments planned to explore how certain high-impact extreme events may evolve in a warmer world
• Preparing and submitting supercomputing access proposals to support the production of the high resolution simulations
• Lead scientific analyses on the role of mesoscale air-sea interactions in shaping the response of the atmospheric circulation in the North Atlantic to climate change
• Conducting a process-based evaluation of the drivers of summer extremes in the NEMO-IFS simulations, with a particular focus on hydroclimate extremes
• Coordinate the BSC contributions to several project deliverables
