HPC scientific software engineer (RE2/R2) per al Barcelona Supercomputing Center

The mission of the Earth Sciences Department of the Barcelona Supercomputing Centre, led by Prof. Francisco Doblas-Reyes, is to carry out research and develop methods for environmental forecasting, with a particular focus on the atmosphere-ocean-biosphere system. This includes the management and transfer of technology to support key societal challenges through the use of models and data applications in High Performance Computing (HPC) and AI infrastructures. It also includes the dissemination of real-time air quality and climate information based on its research expertise in collaboration with the Spanish authorities and the World Meteorological Organisation (WMO).

The successful candidate will join the HPC for Earth Sciences team under the Computational Earth Sciences (CES) group. This team, composed of 18 members but steadily growing, plays a crucial role in the research to operations cycle, including initiatives such as Destination Earth and the EC-Earth model. It has strong links with the other teams in the CES group and with the research groups in the department. The new person will be involved in different European projects that contribute to the development of the new version 4 of EC-Earth, the European climate model. In particular, developing new features in the source code of the model, including the coupling of the different components.

Key Duties

• Develop and/or integrate new scientific features into the source code of the models used in the department, focusing on the new EC-Earth 4 model.
• Validate the scientific correctness of the new developments.
• Measure the computational impact of the new developments to guarantee an efficient scalability.
• Contribute to the development strategy of the department's tools, thereby increasing the applicability and international visibility - and hence impact - of the research arising from current and future projects.
• This position involves close interaction with the Climate Variability and Change (CVC) and Atmospheric Composition (AC) groups, and external collaborators.
