Within the Barcelona Supercomputing Center the Earth Sciences Department, led by Prof Francisco Doblas-Reyes, aims to deliver novel, advanced, and well-evaluated high-resolution global climate models capable of simulating and predicting climate estimations with unprecedented reliability. The successful candidate will be part of the Performance Team a sub-group in the section of Computational Earth Sciences.



This team, composed of 20 members but steadily growing, performs R&D tasks in the field of Earth system modelling (ESM) 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. Having identified those areas in the code, the experts in the team proceed to modify them without impacting the final results. Possible solutions can go from using more ef...
