DETAILS on Vacancy
JRC's Climate Risk Management (CRM) Unit is developing methods and tools for
monitoring and assessing extreme events (e.g., droughts & floods) and their
impacts from regional to global scales.
Ongoing work includes the development of a European Drought Observatory
<http://edo.jrc.ec.europa.eu/edov2/php/index.php?id=1000> (EDO) for drought
monitoring, assessment, and forecasting in Europe and the development of
similar methods and tools for Africa, Latin America and at the global level.
The CRM Drought Team is looking for a candidate to support and further
develop our activities on drought forecasting, especially medium to
longrange
probabilistic /ensemble forecasting. The candidate will apply ensemble
forecasts from ECMWF and other forecasting centres for meteorological
drought forecasting, but also as input to land surface models that can
provide related drought products, such as soil moisture anomalies. The tasks
include the development, implementation and testing of forecasting
methodologies for selected drought products as well as the provision of
meteorological expertise to the team.
Qualifications:
The ideal candidate should have a Ph.D. in meteorology or closely related
disciplines or a minimum of 5 years of research experience in the mentioned
fields after the first degree giving access to doctoral studies
She/he should have experience in working with meteorological forecasts
including ensemble forecasting and should be familiar with handling large
meteorological datasets. Demonstrated experience with related programming,
specifically in R or similar languages, and scripting tools are essential.
Good knowledge of spoken and written English is required. The knowledge of
another community language would be an advantage.
Relevant publications and presentations should be highlighted.
