HPC and Software Engineer for Earth Sciences applications (RE1)
Desplácese hacia abajo para ver todos los requisitos del puesto y las responsabilidades que pueden esperar los candidatos seleccionados.

Within the Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC) Earth Sciences Department, led by Prof. Francisco Doblas‑Reyes, the department aims to deliver novel, advanced, high‑resolution general climate models capable of simulating and predicting climate estimations with unprecedented reliability. The successful candidate will be part of the Performance Team, a sub‑group of the Computational Earth Sciences section.

The team, composed of 17 members and steadily growing, performs R&D; in Earth system modelling (ESM) performance. Its goal is to identify model bottlenecks and research how to remove them. The team uses cutting‑edge performance tools to evaluate and represent multiple performance metrics. Once bottlenecks are identified, experts modify the code without impacting the final results, using more efficient numerical algorithms or altering how the model exploits HPC infrastructure.
