The position:
The candidate’s work will be part of the European H2020 funded project EUCP – European Climate Prediction System. This is a 4 year collaborative project with 16 European partners of leading climate prediction institutions. The overarching objective is to develop an innovative European regional ensemble climate prediction system based on a new generation of improved and typically high spatial resolution climate models, covering timescales from seasons to decades, and designed to support practical and strategic climate adaptation and mitigation decision-taking on local, national and global scales.
Scientific background of the position:
The candidate will contribute to development of a distributed data infrastructure where climate model data can be ingested and will be made accessible to scientists. The data access will be complemented with a flexible data analytics framework where climate model data can be inspected, combined with other environmental or socio-economic data and further processed and analyzed. The system should allow for preservation of the workflows. The candidate will also contribute to training sessions on research software and data access and analysis for both specialists and less experienced users of climate data.
Competences:
Fixed-term contract: 3 years.
