Scientific Programmer (m/f; 2011-22)
with a strong background in computational science, web frameworks and / or climate simulation data handling. Within the department “The Atmosphere in the Earth System”, the successful applicant will join a team that develops, maintains, improves, and uses the software package “Climate Data Operators” (CDOs).
His/her task will be to adapt the CDOs to their use in web environments and frameworks as they will be developed and used in EUDAT. Performance and scal-ability issues will be of major importance, but also usability and meta-data administration.
