Are you interested in better understanding the impact of climate change on water availability and food security? Do you like working with complex numerical models? And are you familiar with scientific coding, version control and research support?

The Earth Systems and Global Change Group is looking for a scientific software engineer (2 years) to work with us in a project on the High Mountains of Asia and their link to the food producing regions that receive water from those mountains. This position is part of the ERC project 3POLE2SEA. The overall goal of the 3POLE2SEA project is to increase the understanding of the links between the water stored in the High Mountains of Asia and the water- and food security of the 1.9 billion people living in the areas downstream of those mountains, now and in the future, and use this understanding to support adaptation design. In close collaboration with a team of 4 researchers, you will develop tools and methods to quantify those links.
