About BSC
The Barcelona Supercomputing Center - Centro Nacional de Supercomputación (BSC-CNS) is the leading supercomputing center in Spain. It houses MareNostrum, one of the most powerful supercomputers in Europe, was a founding and hosting member of the former European HPC infrastructure PRACE (Partnership for Advanced Computing in Europe), and is now hosting entity for EuroHPC JU, the Joint Undertaking that leads large-scale investments and HPC provision in Europe. The mission of BSC is to research, develop and manage information technologies in order to facilitate scientific progress. BSC combines HPC service provision and R&D into both computer and computational science (life, earth and engineering sciences) under one roof, and currently has over 900 staff from 55 countries.

Context And Mission
Within the Computational Earth Sciences (CES) group, the selected candidate will be part of the Models and Workflows team to contribute to the development of software to run end-to-end streaming workflows for digital twins on state-of-the-art high-performance computing facilities.
The Models and Workflows team (MWT) is dedicated to the research and development of essential frameworks and tools for the efficient execution of modelling experiments on HPC facilities. The team consists of 20 members and has a strong collaboration with the other teams in CES and the scientific groups. In particular, this position will benefit from interaction with the Data & Diagnostics team to parallelize data streaming applications.
The candidate will be part of a team working on the development of modelling workflows in the context of the European Commission's Destination Earth flagship initiative. The candidate will work on the integration of applications consuming high resolution stream data for the production of socio-economic indicators into the workflow, and on the optimisation of the data streaming interface responsible for writing sample data and data summaries for applications. These workflows will be executed using the Autosubmit workflow orchestrator on EuroHPC pre-exascale systems such as MareNostrum 5.
