.Context And MissionIn the Barcelona Supercomputing Center, scientists from different groups rely on a shared data archive curated by the Data and Diagnostics Team (DDT, composed of around 20 members), which is in charge, among other activities, of downloading, standardizing, checking, and curating model and observational data from external sources, as well as developing common tools for data analysis.Most of the tools for the data pipelines are written in Python and use the community standards of NetCDF and GRIB.The successful candidate will join the Data and Diagnostics Team to develop a new Python suite to create a data pipeline to manage and update the BSC storage containing reanalysis and seasonal forecasts data from the ECMWF Climate Data Store (CDS, https://cds.Climate.Copernicus.Eu/datasets).The successful candidate, with the support of the department's data managers, will study different ways to access the CDS, efficiently download and format the data by exploring different community libraries, and integrate this into a workflow using the workflow manager developed in the department (Autosubmit, https://autosubmit.Readthedocs.Io/en/master/).In a second phase, the work will consist of generalizing this tool for other data platforms (NMME and other reanalysis).Key DutiesDevelop a Python suite to download and format climate data from the climate data store and other similar platformsStudy the efficiency of the different options of the suiteIntegrate the suite into a data pipeline workflowDevelop an automatic data checker in the data pipelineRequirementsEducationHaving a Bachelor in Computer Science, Telecommunications, Physics or related disciplineEssential Knowledge and Professional ExperienceGood development skills and experience with UNIX/LINUX environments.Experience in Python programming and scripting languages.Additional Knowledge and Professional ExperienceFluency in English, both speaking and writingKnowledge of climate formats and tools (netcdf, grib, cdo, xarray,...) will be valued but are not mandatoryCompetencesThis is a specialized position so the successful candidate is expected to have a demonstrated learning capacity and the motivation to maintain a learning progression during the contract.Capacity to interact and build strong relations with both climate and computer scientistsExcellent written and verbal communication skillsAbility to work both independently and within a teamConditionsThe position will be located at BSC within the Earth Sciences Department.We offer a full-time contract (37.5h/week), 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
