We are looking to further enhance our team by adding a
Copernicus S-3 - Instrument Data Processing Engineer
You will be based initially for 2 years at our client's headquarters in Darmstadt, Germany. Extension of a further 2 years may be possible. In this large European Agency you will find an excellent and modern working environment with challenging tasks and responsibilities.
Your Tasks Include:
The Data Processing Engineer (Key Person) shall support the Sentinel-3 Operations with respect to The Client's Marine Payload Data Ground Segment (PDGS) maintenance (in particular anomaly correction and software release processes) in the area of data processing systems from instrument source packet level through to level-2. The Key Person shall also support the coordination of the evolutions of these systems.
The Key Person's duties will include a range of tasks, from preparing and providing the support of the day-to-day operations and maintenance (currently in the launch preparation phase), the analysis and testing of the facilities (including the handling of anomalies), and the design of upgrades and configuration changes for these facilities. The Key Person shall support the team acting as the focal point for integrating the individual software components into the related data processing systems, covering all aspects of system integration and testing, including support to the end-to-end testing of the complete production system.
The Key Person's duties will also cover the contribution to the setting-up and implementation of maintenance policies and procedures as well as the co-ordination with external providers of maintenance services. This may also entail the participation in the specification and development of monitoring tools for Sentinel-3.
In support to operations, the Key Person may also be required to provide on-call support as part of a team of maintenance engineers.
Your Profile:
• At least 3 years experience in the maintenance and/or engineering of software based systems (preferably mission/instrument data processing related);
• Knowledge of software development lifecycles and demonstrable experience;
• Competence in software testing, unit test suite maintenance, automated testing, verification and validation;
• Experience in software debugging and profiling;
• Experience of source code control systems (preferably Subversion).
The following specific technical skills are highly desirable:
• Experience with Processing Frameworks and/or Processing Infrastructures;
• Knowledge of the ESA generic Instrument Processing Facility (IPF) interface specification;
• C/C++/Java programming language experience in a UNIX/Linux based environment;
• Knowledge of scripting languages (e.g. Python, Perl);
• Knowledge of web technologies, programming and mark-up languages (e.g. Apache, CGI, JavaScript, XML and related technologies (XPATH, SVG, etc.).
The variety of the tasks and the scope of the systems to be supported require the Key Person to be able to work with a high degree of autonomy and to demonstrate good analytical skills.
The official languages are English and French. The working language for the position is English and therefore the Key Person must be able to work effectively in this language.

Subject: [Met-jobs] IC3, Barcelona | Postdoctoral position in climate
impact modeling and predictability
Message-ID: <4C998BA23501452D96C6F3E67DE7946C@ic3admin00>

TITLE:
Postdoctoral position in climate impact modeling and predictability
LOCATION:
IC3 Headquarters in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain
GENERAL DESCRIPTION AND WORK ENVIRONMENT:
The Catalan Institute of Climate Sciences (IC3) is a climate institution
created by the Catalan Government and the University of Barcelona, aiming at
understanding climate change and variability, the dynamics and theory
underlying those changes, and the impacts on society. Within IC3, the
Climate Dynamics and Impacts Unit (UDIC) is interested in research fields
such as global climate dynamics, El Niño-Southern Oscillation, climate
predictability and teleconnections, regional and urban climate modeling,
impacts of climate variability and change, climate-related diseases and
climate services.
We are looking for a postdoctoral scientist willing to work on regional
and/or urban climate modeling, whose research will be used as a
predictability source for climate impact models to generate prototype and
operational versions of climate services. To this purpose, the selected
candidate will closely work with essentially the following scientists of
IC3-UDIC:
Dr. Xavier Rodó
(https://www.icrea.cat/Web/ScientificStaff/xavier-rodo-i-lopez-312), Dr.
Joan Ballester (http://www.ic3.cat/people/joanballester/), Dr. Rachel Lowe
(http://www.ic3.cat/detail_person.php?menu=107&person=137) and Dr. Tridip
Sardar (https://sites.google.com/site/welcometomynetwrok/home).
REQUIREMENTS
Applicants must have a Ph.D. in atmospheric sciences, climate dynamics,
climate modeling, climate impacts, epidemiological modeling, applied
statistics, or a related field.
Ideal candidates must have demonstrated experience or knowledge on the
following research areas:
- Analysis of large climate datasets.
- Use/development of urban climate models.
- Advanced programming skills: R, Matlab, Python, Fortran, NetCDF, NCL, CDO
and/or NCO.
- Excellent oral and written communication skills in English.
- Willingness to work in a multidisciplinary environment: climate dynamics,
climate modeling, climate impacts and climate services.
Additional skills among the ones listed below will also be considered,
namely:
- Use of global or regional models.
- Implementation of dynamical and/or statistical downscaling.
- Experience on climate predictability and its application to climate
impacts.
CONDITIONS AND APPLICATION PROCEDURES:
The position is opened until filled and renewable on an annual basis
depending on accomplishments. It starts preferably anytime after May, 1st
2016.
The salary will be competitive and commensurate with experience.
To apply, please send your CV by e-mail to jordi.gomez-barba@ic3.cat with
the following subject: "Application for a postdoctoral position in climate
impact modeling and predictability".
Selected candidates will be asked for letters of recommendation.
