Description |
Main duties: ECMWF contributes to the QWeCI project by providing medium- and extended-range forecasts for Africa from its EPS-monthly and seasonal forecasting systems. Specifically, ECMWF will deliver seamless, calibrated rainfall predictions for the whole African continent by post-processing the numerical output of its forecasting systems. Decadal simulations performed in the context of other EU-FP7 projects will also be analysed to detect possible predictable signals over Africa. The work of the consultant will cover the following tasks:
Qualifications: A university degree to PhD level or equivalent, and possibly some post-graduate experience in model validation, hydro-meteorology, statistical post-processing and calibration. Fluency in one of the working languages of the Centre (English, French and German) and a good knowledge of at least one of the other languages are also required.
Remuneration: Typically within the range of £3,795.00 to £5,255.00 per month net of tax, depending upon qualifications, experience, personal situation and eligibility for expatriation allowance. A deduction of either £33.62 per beneficiary or 4.38% of the monthly remuneration will be made for the supplementary health insurance scheme. Starting date: Between 1 June 2010 and 1 September 2010 (or as soon as possible thereafter). Length of contract: One year initially, with a possible extension of one further year. Applications: Application forms in word format can be downloaded from here (162kb) and completed on-line. If you download, you may (if near to the closing date) e-mail the completed form only back to ECMWF at jobs@ecmwf.int. Please note, however, that you must still send your full application form together with all the attachments to ECMWF by post. Under no circumstances should you e-mail your attachments. Closing date: Completed applications for this post must reach the Personnel Section of the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts not later than 26 March 2010 |
