The Center for Climate Systems Modeling (C2SM) at ETH Zurich is an interdisciplinary center that connects ETH Zurich with partner institutions. It serves as a technology and networking platform to support the development and application of Earth system, weather, and climate modeling, data infrastructure, and impact research. This role will involve close collaboration with the Swiss National Supercomputing Centre (CSCS).
In an era of rapidly expanding Earth observations gathered from satellites, airborne instruments, and in-situ measurement networks, effectively harnessing this data is crucial for advancing our understanding of the Earth system.
To meet this challenge, a robust data management framework is being established to make these vast Earth-system datasets accessible and useful to the scientific community. The Earth Systems Data Manager will play a pivotal role in shaping this framework. Responsibilities will include identifying and evaluating relevant satellite and observational datasets, curating and documenting data collections to ensure quality and scientific value, and establishing metadata and access standards to facilitate data discovery and reproducibility. The successful candidate will collaborate with researchers and developers from C2SM, ETH, and CSCS to operate and enhance the research platform, support interdisciplinary projects integrating multiple data sources, and utilize high-performance computing resources for managing, processing, and analyzing large environmental datasets.
In this role, you will work at the forefront of Earth system modeling, high-performance computing, and data-driven science. Joining C2SM means being part of a vibrant interdisciplinary community that bridges weather and climate researchers, computational scientists, and data experts across ETH Zurich and its partner institutions. You will have the unique opportunity to shape a modern data infrastructure for the climate and weather research community in Switzerland, contribute to impactful scientific projects, and support researchers working with rapidly growing environmental datasets. Access to state-of-the-art HPC systems, strong mentorship, and professional development opportunities await you in this collaborative, forward-thinking research environment.
