CMCC Position cod. 12717
Ocean Numerical Modeller
Deadline: June 30th, 2025WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FORAre you ready to join a dynamic team where your proactiveness and management prowess can translate directly into tangible outcomes in the research field?
CMCC GOCO Division, located in Lecce, is looking for a new position of researcher with experience as numerical modeler, to support the research and the ocean modeling activities at global to coastal scales.
This position is for a Numerical Modeller (i.e., Post Doc, or Junior Scientist for research career at CMCC) with experiences in the fields of numerical methods for Geophysical Fluid Dynamics, good knowledge of ocean physical processes and programming skills.
The primary purpose for this position is to take on a pivotal role in the development and validation of a multi-purpose ocean general circulation model that employs unstructured-mesh methods. We require skills and capabilities in dealing with all the components of an ocean circulation model (e.g. time integration schemes, staggering of variables and discretization of operators, interpolation methods, advection schemes, linear solvers), with particular attention to the assessment of the accuracy, stability and efficiency of the developed methods. Knowledge of finite element and finite volume methods is essential for this position and familiarity with other methods is an added value. We also appreciate knowledge of methods to solve sparse linear systems. We expect, also, that the applicant is familiar with the solution of the basic problems in GFD and has good programming skills.ABOUT US
