About BSC

The Barcelona Supercomputing Center - Centro Nacional de Supercomputación (BSC-CNS) is the leading supercomputing center in Spain. It houses MareNostrum, 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 EuroHPC 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.

Look At The BSC Experience

BSC-CNS YouTube Channel. Let's stay connected with BSC Folks! 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.

Context And Mission

Internet of Things (IoT) involves massive numbers of sensing devices with different capabilities, ranging from low-complexity sensors to smart cameras and actuators, generating huge volumes of data, which can be transformed into valuable knowledge through Artificial Intelligence (AI) and big data technologies. In this context, an effective combination of edge and cloud computing technologies (a.K.A. compute continuum) has been rising as an emerging paradigm that: (1) allows bringing computation closer to the data sources, bringing down latency and energy consumption with respect to cloud computing, enabling novel real-time services for domains such as smart city;
and (2) provides high-performance capabilities for data intensive algorithms. Moreover, the advent of newest communication technologies (e.G., 5G) can offer the necessary bandwidth, ultra‑low latency, and massive device connectivity needed to distribute applications across the compute continuum, and also supports novel architectures for Multi‑access Edge Computing (MEC). Unfortunately, edge and cloud computing and networks technologies have been evolving in parallel, and they are not fully integrated, leaving a gap that must be addressed to jointly leverage the compute computing capabilities.
