LOCATION: IC3 headquarters in Barcelona, 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, see <http://ic3cfu.wikispot.org> for details) is
led by Dr. Francisco Doblas?Reyes, and 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 successful applicant will investigate the
predictability and actual forecast quality of seasonal-to-interannual
ensemble predictions carried out with the dynamical global climate model
EC-Earth. The applicant will be involved in developments within the
EC-Earth consortium to carry out initialized seasonal-to-interannual
ensemble simulations. The development and implementation of
initialization strategies will be a main focus of the job. Outstanding
opportunities exist for collaboration with other European research
institutions.
