You will work closely with scientists developing the climate model, AI methodologies, and digital twin infrastructure, as well as with leading European climate scientists and software engineers. We are seeking a highly motivated scientist who is excited by the scientific opportunities offered by global kilometre-scale climate simulations. You will investigate the added value of Climate DT simulations for understanding weather and climate processes, extremes, and climate change. A particular focus will be on developing innovative analysis approaches that make effective use of modern artificial intelligence, machine learning, and agentic AI systems to analyse and interpret the unprecedented volume of climate data produced by Destination Earth. Aufgaben * Analyse global kilometre-scale climate simulations produced within Destination Earth to investigate their added scientific value compared with existing climate modelling approaches * Develop innovative diagnostics, analysis software, and reproducible workflows for the exploration of large climate datasets * Develop and apply AI-assisted and agentic approaches to accelerate the scientific analysis, interpretation, and exploitation of Climate DT simulations * Investigate weather and climate extremes, Earth system processes, and climate feedbacks using state-of-the-art kilometre-scale simulations * Work closely with climate model development teams to evaluate simulations, identify systematic model behaviour, and provide scientific feedback supporting further model development * Collaborate with scientists, AI researchers, and software engineers across the Destination Earth consortium * Publish research results in leading international journals and present findings at international conferences, workshops, and project meetings * Contribute to the dissemination of analysis tools, workflows, and scientific results to the wider scientific community ## Related Videos - [How a Small Team Shrank a Microsoft Monorepo by 94%](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1236-how-a-small-team-shrank-a-microsoft-monorepo-by-94) - [Data Science, ML & AI in the Oil and Gas Industry at NDT Global - Dr. Katja Träumner](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1308-data-science-ml-ai-in-the-oil-and-gas-industry-at-ndt-global-dr-katja-traumner) - [Git for Code Reviews](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/429-git-for-code-reviews) - [Hacking AI at the Edge of the Indian Ocean](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100177-hacking-ai-at-the-edge-of-the-indian-ocean) - [Empowering Retail Through Applied Machine Learning](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/976-empowering-retail-through-applied-machine-learning) - [Stop Committing Your Secrets - GIt Hooks To The Rescue!](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/573-stop-committing-your-secrets-git-hooks-to-the-rescue) ## Related Articles - [Data Analyst Salary Germany](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/277-data-analyst-salary-germany) - [The Most Popular IT Jobs on the Market](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/376-the-most-popular-it-jobs-on-the-market) - [Best Coding Boot Camps in Germany](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/237-best-coding-boot-camps-in-germany) - [IT Salaries in Germany](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/287-it-salaries-in-germany) - [A Guide to Green Tech and Green IT Careers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/374-a-guide-to-green-tech-and-green-it-careers) - [How to Become an AI Engineer](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/331-how-to-become-an-ai-engineer)
