Your role 

Joining us as a Junior Scientist (A1) you will develop applications combining different datasets, some already available within CAMS and some new ones (IoT) that will become available as part of the AD4GD project. A priority will be to characterise the added values of these new observations for improving information products relevant for health and for greenhouse gas emissions monitoring. You will work in the CAMS National Uptake and Copernicus Thematic Collaboration team which is part of our User Outreach and Engagement Section. You will closely interact with other scientists working on CAMS and with scientists at ECMWF working on AD4GD and the related Horizon Europe projects iCHANGE (Individual change of habits needed for green European transition, H2020) and TRIGGER (Solutions for mitigating climate-induced health threats, Europe).

You will also benefit from regular short stays at the ESRIN Φ-lab in Frascati (Italy) to facilitate interaction with experts at ESA.

Your responsibilities 

  • Exploit IoT / “low-cost” sensor information for improving health impact assessments and quantification of greenhouse gas emissions at local scales.
  • Evaluate the usefulness and complementarities with existing standard systems.
  • Write scientific documentation and extract visual outputs.
  • Contribute to the deliverables and reporting activities for AD4GD, and engage in project meetings.
  • Present results as use case(s) for enriching the Copernicus Thematic Hub on Health.

What we’re looking for

  • Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills with a proactive and constructive approach
  • Flexibility, with the ability to adapt to changing priorities.
  • Ability to work autonomously and as part of multidisciplinary and geographically distributed teams.
  • Excellent interpersonal and communication skills
  • Highly organised with the capacity to work on a diverse range of tasks to tight deadlines.
  • Genuine interest in ECMWF and Copernicus, especially on the environmental impacts on health and greenhouse gas emissions monitoring.

Education and experience

  • The candidate should have recently completed or be close to completion of a PhD in Earth System Science, Physics, Applied Mathematics, Computer Science, or a related discipline.
  • Experience in atmospheric composition and use of observation and numerical models.
  • Understanding of the Earth Observation data value chains, including aspects on data access infrastructure.
  • Some knowledge of the impacts of air quality on human health or of greenhouse gas emissions (and ways to estimate these) would be an advantage.
  • Some experience with communicating scientific results to a general audience would also be beneficial.

Knowledge and skills 

  • Experience developing with Fortran, Python and software lifecycle maintenance is required.
  • Experience with geospatial data analysis with Python would be an advantage.
  • Candidates must be able to work effectively in English.
  • Knowledge of one of ECMWF’s other working languages (French or German) would be an advantage.
