Barcelona, España Barcelona Supercomputing Center A tiempo completo

Context And Mission   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 efficient numerical algorithms to modifying the way the model exploits the HPC infrastructure.   Key Duties   The successful candidate will work on profiling and implementing computational optimizations for Earth Sciences applications running at a very high-resolution configuration using top European HPC platforms. The candidate will also be involved in developing the department's "common" tools: these include several applications whose interest is shared among different sub-groups in the Earth Sciences department and whose number of users can range from small groups to several institutions. This position involves close interaction with the Climate Variability and Change (CVC) group and external collaborators/software vendors.   Requirements   Education Having a Bachelor in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, Physics or related discipline Having a Master’s degree will be valued Essential Knowledge and Professional Experience Excellent computing skills in high-level computer languages (especially Fortran or C/C++) and experience with Unix/Linux environments and scripting languages (Bash, Python, etc) Programming skills to manage big and collaborative projects and experience with git and/or SVN Knowledge of HPC performance and profiling tools such as Intel VTune Experience or knowledge in compiling, running and optimizing scientific codes on large HPC systems Experience or knowledge in HPC architecture and parallel programming paradigms such as MPI and OpenMP Experience or knowledge in the usage and support of Unix- or Linux-based HPC systems Competences Excellent problem-solving skills Proactive attitude Learning capacity and motivation to maintain a learning progression Good written and verbal skills and capacity to support Earth and Computational scientists Fluency in English   Conditions   The position will be located at BSC within the Earth Sciences Department We offer a full-time contract a good working environment, a highly stimulating environment with state-of-the-art infrastructure, flexible working hours, extensive training plan, restaurant tickets, private health insurance, support to the relocation procedures Duration: Open-ended contract due to technical and scientific activities linked to the project and budget duration Holidays: 22 days of holidays + 6 personal days + 24th and 31st of December per our collective agreement Salary: we offer a competitive salary commensurate with the qualifications and experience of the candidate and according to the cost of living in Barcelona Starting date: ASAP
