HPC and Software Engineer for Earth Sciences applications (RE1)

The Earth Sciences Department, aims to deliver novel, advanced, and well-evaluated high-resolution global climate models capable of simulating and predicting climate estimations with unprecedented reliability.

The team, composed of 17 members but steadily growing, performs R&D tasks in the field of Earth system modelling performance: its goal is to identify model bottlenecks and research how to remove them. The team has at its disposal cutting-edge performance tools, able to evaluate and represent different performance metrics.

Key Duties

• The selected candidates will work in an international multidisciplinary and innovative research group.
• The main goal will be to work on the improvement of the computational metrics developed to quantify the computational and energy cost of the models in Destination Earth, FUTURA, ENES-RISE projects and other projects in the department
• Work on carbon footprint and energy efficiency quantification tasks.
