Location
The CMCC, Via Aldo Moro 44, Bologna, Italy.
Working environment
The ANS focuses on the study, above all through numerical simulations and theoretical studies, of natural variability of the climate and the climatic changes due to the anthropogenic effects, with a particular emphasis on the European and Mediterranean region. The group applies numerical models of different complexity and realism, from simple and linear models to more complete and coupled models atmosphere- ocean - sea-ice - vegetation - marine biogeochemistry. The group has also started to work on global ocean forecasting and predictability studies.
Work description
The main duties will be to set-up, calibrate and validate a global high resolution ocean model together with a data assimilation scheme in order to carry out predictability studies for short term ocean forecasting. The experiments will be run on a massively parallel computational platform (IBM cluster).
Academic Background and Qualifications
The candidates should have a Ph.D. in Oceanography, Atmospheric Sciences or related disciplines and experience in numerical modeling. A knowledge of the NEMO OGCM will be considered a plus. Basic knowledge of Unix and Fortran is required.
Working language
English
To Apply
Applicants should send by electronic mail to Dr. Srdjan Dobricic (srdjan.dobricic@cmcc.it) a cover letter describing areas of expertise and research interests and a comprehensive curriculum vitae including names and addresses of three reference scientists .
Salary
The starting salary offer will be 30000 Euro a year and it will be increased depending on the experience and years from the Ph.D.
