Context And Mission We are looking for an experienced and enthusiastic research engineer to join the Atmospheric Composition (AC) group within the Earth Sciences department at the BSC-CNS.
The AC group is currently composed of about 50 people among researchers, engineers and students of different nationalities.
It aims at better understanding and predicting the spatio-temporal variations of atmospheric pollutants along with their effects upon air quality, weather and climate.
This is addressed through the continuous development and application of numerical models over multiple scales, from weather to climate and from general to urban scales.The AC group develops and maintains its own forecast model MONARCH, which is a coupled meteorological-chemistry model that can be run at global and regional scales to simulate gaseous chemistry and aerosols plus their feedbacks on radiation.
MONARCH is also coupled to a data assimilation scheme for gases and aerosols that is used to initialize forecasts or produce reanalyses of the atmospheric composition.




The AC group operates several operational forecasting systems in the framework of the World Meteorological Organization Sand and Dust Storm Advisory System (SDS-WAS, ), the Copernicus atmospheric monitoring services (CAMS, ), the Spanish air quality forecasting system CALIOPE (), and the International Cooperative for Aerosols Predictions (ICAP).
The successful candidate will join the Data Assimilation Forecasting and Application team of the AC group and will play a key coordinating role in the production and continuous improvement of the team's operational forecasting and reanalysis systems.
The activities will be carried out mainly in the framework of the Copernicus CAMS2_40bis international project, with contributions to the CAMS2_82bis project and to the activities of the Barcelona Dust Regional Center (BDRC).
The candidate will work in a highly collaborative environment, with tight links with researchers and engineers in the
