ABOUT US
CMCC Foundation is a cross-cutting scientific research center on climate change and its interactions with the environment, society, the world of business, and policymakers. Our work aims to stimulate sustainable growth, protect the environment, and develop strategies for the adaptation and mitigation of climate change. CMCC's core objective is to conduct cutting-edge science, to train the next generation of scientists at both national and international levels, and to be a beacon for climate modelling.
CMCC pursues fundamental and applied science with utmost scientific integrity, prioritizing data-driven science and providing data, information, and research results that can support informed public debate and decision-making processes. To achieve climate research objectives at the highest international standards, we invest in training all our talents and strive to create a workplace where everyone can excel.
At CMCC you will find a strong, professional environment. Join an inclusive community that values diversity, where every voice is heard and respected. Help foster a culture of innovation and societal change, where individuals from all backgrounds can thrive and succeed.
Over the last decade, CMCC has experienced extraordinary growth. We are now embarking on a new chapter of our journey that will further boost CMCC’s global position in climate change research…Together!
To learn more about this opportunity and submit your application, please refer to the following:
ROLE
The successful candidate will be supporting the researchers in the Marine Biogeochemistry group of CMCC’s Earth System Modelling and Data Assimilation in developing CMCC’s modelling infrastructure for the marine carbon cycle using traditional deterministic andor AI approaches and analysing their results to identify the processes that drive the changes in the marine carbon cycle with a specific focus on marine based mitigation strategies for the reduction of atmospheric carbon-dioxide concentrations.
RESPONSIBILITIES
DURATION, COMPENSATION & BENEFITS
PROTECTED CATEGORY
