Join NCAS CMS to provide and support HPC services for UK environmental science research and the NCAS Science Strategy.

You will be closely involved in both computational and data science elements with a primary focus on testing and support of numerical modelling systems and related codes on a range of computational platforms that include, but that is not limited to, ARCHER2, JASMIN, UK Met Office, the AI Research Resource (AIRR) platforms, EuroHPC, and a UK Exascale platform. This is a great opportunity to collaborate and develop relationships with weather and climate scientists, research software engineers, and computational modellers from partner organisations.

You will:

  • Develop a leading role in the NCAS/NERC community in use of modelling systems and HPC environments
  • Manage underpinning software on traditional and emerging Exascale platforms
  • Develop, implement, test, and support high-resolution modelling workflows and data management plans
  • Contribute to the process of community consultation and interactions with researchers, stakeholders and users to ensure that the modelling system can accommodate foreseeable design requirements
  • Participate in internationally-coordinated Earth system model experiments
    You will work within the National Centre for Atmospheric Science in the Department of Meteorology at the University of Reading, one of the world’s largest research centres focusing on the science of weather and climate.
