  • Fluency in spoken and written English, while fluency in other European languages will be also valued
  • Highly collaborative spirit and ability to work as part of a large, strongly-coordinated team and to continuously share both knowledge and tools

Responsibilities

  • 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
