Two-year position for a Software Engineer at the Climate
Forecasting Unit (CFU) - IC3 (Barcelona).
LOCATION: IC3 headquarters in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain
ENVIRONMENT: IC3 is a climate research institute created by the Government of
Catalonia in 2008. IC3's main scientific goal is to assess and understand climate
variability and change at both global and regional scales to improve both predictions and
projections. Linked to this goal, IC3 works on understanding and simulating how global
change modulates variability and change in society and ecosystems. IC3's mandate is to
become a leading international centre for climate research in Europe, with a regional
focus on the Mediterranean area. IC3 will mainly develop top-quality research on basic
and applied climate sciences, while informing society and stakeholders on future climate
risks. Working languages of IC3 are English, Catalan and Spanish. For details, see
www.ic3.cat.
There is growing interest in the implications of climate variability and change from a
season to a few decades ahead. Reliable predictive climate information is critical to
ensure that costly adaptation measures to climate variability and change are well justified.
The Climate Forecasting Unit (CFU) undertakes research on the development and
assessment of dynamical and statistical methods for the prediction of global climate on
time scales ranging from months to decades.
MAIN DUTIES: The position involves installing and maintaining software that offers
technical solutions to the research problems addressed at the CFU, as well as in
collaboration with the other members of the IT team providing technical assistance with
the Unit's linux local network.
