The Barcelona Supercomputing Center - Centro Nacional de Supercomputación (BSC-CNS) is the leading supercomputing center in Spain. It houses Mare Nostrum, one of the most powerful supercomputers in Europe, was a founding and hosting member of the former European HPC infrastructure PRACE (Partnership for Advanced Computing in Europe), and is now hosting entity for Euro HPC JU, the Joint Undertaking that leads large-scale investments and HPC provision in Europe. The mission of BSC is to research, develop and manage information technologies in order to facilitate scientific progress. BSC combines HPC service provision and R&D into both computer and computational science (life, earth and engineering sciences) under one roof, and currently has over 1000 staff from 60 countries.

We are particularly interested for this role in the strengths and lived experiences of women and underrepresented groups to help us avoid perpetuating biases and oversights in science and IT research. In instances of equal merit, the incorporation of the under-represented sex will be favoured.

We promote Equity, Diversity and Inclusion, fostering an environment where each and every one of us is appreciated for who we are, regardless of our differences.

If you consider that you do not meet all the requirements, we encourage you to continue applying for the job offer. We value diversity of experiences and skills, and you could bring unique perspectives to our team.

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.
