Job description:Software Engineer or Data Scientist (Python) in Climate System Modeling (m/f/d)
Background
The successful candidate will work with leading European climate modelers, computing scientists, and software engineers on developing Digital Twins of the climate system to support adaptation to climate change.
Tasks
Requirements
At least a master’s degree or more than five years of experience in one or more of the following fields is required: software engineering, data science, computer science, mathematics, physics, meteorology, oceanography, climate sciences, or related fields. A PhD in any of these fields would be an advantage. Demonstrated skill/proficiency in Python or any other high-level programming language and fluency in English are further requirements. We follow good software development practices in our work and expect candidates to have hands-on experience with version control (git), writing tests, and creating documentation.

Familiarity with Python data analytics stack (Dask, Pandas, Xarray, Jupyter) is an advantage, as well as experience with Nix-based systems.

Moreover, having one or several of the following skills would be a distinct advantage:

• Experience with HPC systems,
• Parallel data processing (e.g. dask),
• Working with containers (Docker, Singularity/Apptainer),
• Data processing on heterogeneous systems (CPU/GPUs),
• Working with complex climate models and geophysical data formats (netCDF, GRIB, Zarr).
