REMHI is recognized as a leader in this field across Europe, providing a unique opportunity for impactful work.
RESPONSIBILITIES The Urban Microclimate Modeling Specialist will support the Regional Models and Geo-Hydrological Impacts (REMHI) division, with: Utilize advanced urban microclimate models (e. g. , PALM4U, ENVIMET, SOILWEG) to simulate urban dynamics such as temperature, humidity, and heat fluxes, analyzing the impacts of climate change on urban areas.
Integrate microclimate simulations with regional climate models to improve the representation of climatic impacts at urban and sub-regional scales.
Analyze interactions between regional climate phenomena (e. g. , heatwaves, extreme weather events) and urban environments.
Validate model outputs using observational data, field measurements, and satellite data.
Develop adaptation scenarios and conduct "what-if" analyses to propose solutions aimed at enhancing urban resilience.
Contribute to technical reports, policy briefs, and scientific publications to support urban climate adaptation strategies for public and private stakeholders.
REQUIREMENTS Master's degree in Atmospheric Sciences, Urban Climate, Environmental Engineering, Architecture or a related field, or PhD in a relevant discipline.
Experience in microclimate modeling and/or regional climate modeling.
Proficiency in programming languages such as Python, R, or MATLAB for model development and data analysis.
Experience with climate data processing tools such as CDO and NCO.
Background in evaluation of simulated data with multi-platform observational data.
Ability to prepare comprehensive technical and scientific documentation.
Availability to travel for limited periods.
Optional Skills: Experience with specific microclimate models such as PALM4U, ENVIMET, or SOILWEG.
Good communication skills and the ability to present complex scientific concepts clearly.
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
Motivation to stay updated on emerging methodologies and techniques.
Team-oriented approach with effective collaboration skills.
