PhD student position in Satellite observations of the Earth's atmosphere and climate
The Global environmental measurements and modelling group (GEMM) at the Department of Earth and Space Sciences is a main player in measuring climate relevant species in the Earth's atmosphere. Our focus is on using microwave techniques. The Swedish Odin satellite has been central to our work but presently we have several new projects including observations of wind and Cloud ice from space. We are currently seeking 2-3 new doctoral students to participate in our projects.
The successful candidates will be able to choose from a number of projects in the area atmospheric physics and chemistry including climate change, weather forecasting and ozone depletion. Examples of such projects are: The extraction of ice cloud properties from multi-wavelength microwave observations using different assumptions about particle sizes and shapes, analysis of long-term data sets with the aim of establishing trends and separating real trends from observational artefacts, extraction of buoyancy wave properties from optical data, development of new methodologies for analysing stratospheric wind data. Comparison and development of models is an essential part of all the projects.
Your major responsibilities are to pursue your own doctoral studies. You are expected to develop your own scientific concepts and communicate the results of your research verbally and in writing. The position generally also includes teaching on Chalmers' undergraduate level or performing other duties corresponding to 20 per cent of working hours.
Position summary
Full-time temporary employment. The position is limited to a maximum of five years.
Qualifications
A minimum 4 year degree in a scientific subject with considerable mathematical content. The applicants should have ability to initiate new research collaborations and have good communication skills in oral and written English. Finally, although not a formal requirement, we encourage successful applicants to acquire sufficient competency in the Swedish language to be able to actively participate in all aspects of departmental life. Chalmers offers Swedish courses.
Chalmers continuously strives to be an attractive employer. Equality and diversity are substantial foundations in all activities at Chalmers.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"
Dear all,
At the Barcelona Supercomputing Center, the Spanish National Center of Supercomputing we are looking for an Air Quality Scientist Support Engineer (https://www.bsc.es/join-us/job-offers/job-offers-list/221esairqualeng) that will join our Earth Sciences Department. If interested, have a look to the details of our vacancy below:
__________________________________
*About BSC
The Barcelona Supercomputing Center - Centro Nacional de Supercomputación (BSC-CNS) is the leading supercomputing center in Spain. It houses MareNostrum, one of the most powerful supercomputers in Europe, and is a hosting member of the PRACE European distributed supercomputing infrastructure. The mission of BSC is to research, develop and manage information technologies in order to facilitate scientific progress. BSC combines HPC service provision and R&D into both computer and computational science (life, earth and engineering sciences) under one roof, and currently has over 460 staff from 44 countries.
*Context and Mission
Within the Earth Sciences Department of Barcelona Supercomputing Center, led by Prof Francisco Doblas-Reyes, the Atmospheric Composition (AC) group aims at better understanding and predicting the spatiotemporal variations of atmospheric pollutants along with their effects upon air quality, weather and climate. In parallel, the Computational Earth Sciences (CES) group is a multidisciplinary team with different IT profiles that interacts closely with all the other groups of the Department. The group provides help and guidance to the scientists with the technical issues relating to their work and develops a framework for the most efficient use of HPC resources.
The AC group contributes to a variety of forecasting activities. The dust component of the NMMB/BSC-CTM runs operationally at the first WMO Regional Specialized Meteorological Center for Atmospheric Sand and Dust Forecast (i.e., the Barcelona Dust Forecast Center, BDFC), and contributes to multi-model ensemble forecasts both at the WMO Sand and Dust Storm Warning Advisory and Assessment System Regional Center (WMO SDS-WAS RC) for Northern Africa, Middle East and Europe, and the International Cooperative for Aerosol Prediction (ICAP). Both WMO Regional Centers are co-hosted by BSC and the Spanish Meteorological Agency (AEMET). The group also develops and maintains the CALIOPE air quality system ("CALIdad del aire Operacional Para España"), which provides high-resolution air quality forecasts over Europe and Spain using the in-house emission model HERMES. CALIOPE is currently based on the WRF and CMAQ systems, and its transition to use the NMMB/BSC-CTM is in progress.
*Key Duties
1. The applicant will provide technical support for both computational and atmospheric composition engineers and researchers to run experiments using shell scripts and workflow tools. Hence, special emphasis will be placed to make the scripts flexible and robust, as well as efficient from a computational point of view. Optimizing the scripts to adapt them for the needs of the group and developing new features in case (e.g. implementing to Autosubmit workflow manager tool).
2. The applicant will provide technical support to solve the problems found by other researchers and engineers and do the necessary tests to validate and verify all the features of each model.
3. The applicant will support other colleagues to include their own solutions into the set of tools developed and maintained by the Earth Sciences Department. The codes will be appropriately documented and updated using GIT tools.
*Requirements
● Education
○ Having a Bachelor in Computer Science, Telecommunications, Physics, Mathematics or related discipline
● Knowledge and Professional Experience
o Excellent computing skills in high-level computer languages (especially FORTRAN and C/C++) and experience with UNIX/LINUX environments and scripting languages (e.g. bash, Python)
o Excellent programming skills to manage big and collaborative projects and experience with git and SVN
o Previous experience in a scientific area related to the position, in particular air quality or meteorological modelling (e.g. WRF, CMAQ) will be valued
o Previous experience in scientific software and tools (R, Python Numpy and Scipy, …)
o Previous experience in HPC architecture will be valued
o Computer programming experience related to solving scientific computing problems involving the handling of very large projects
● Competences
o Capacity to interact and build strong relations with both atmospheric and computer scientists
o Fluency in English
o Excellent written and verbal communication skills
o Ability to take initiative, prioritize and work under set deadlines and pressure
o Ability to work both independently and within a team
Conditions
The position will be located at BSC within the Earth Sciences Department. We offer a full-time contract, a good working environment, flexible hours and a medical assurance. Salary will depend on the qualifications and experience of the candidate.
Applications Procedure
All applications must include:
● A motivation letter
● A full CV including contact details
