Area of specialization in IWRI Research and Education: Climate modeling, climate change and services
Job description :
We are seeking a highly motivated and dynamic postdoctoral researcher to join our climate modeling and services team. The selected candidate will contribute to interdisciplinary projects focused on understanding and assessing climate changes for the provision of user-tailored climate services to support adaptation of agriculture and water sectors.
Morocco and the entire African continent are facing serious climate change related challenges which would be exacerbated in the future depending on the emission scenarios and adaptation. Most of the countries, including Morocco, are experiencing significant stress on water resources along with expanding agricultural demand, with harmful impacts of climate change. Developing effective adaptation strategies for agriculture and water resources and shaping infrastructure policies heavily relies on deepening our understanding of the physical processes driving the region’s water cycle, uncovering the causes of observed changes, and improving our predictive capabilities of future climate trends. This position focuses on applied research aimed at improving climate modeling related products to better support agriculture and water sectors through appropriate climate services.
The successful candidate is expected to contribute to the evaluation and improvement of the UM6P climate modeling chain operational on the Toubkal supercomputer to better capture the characteristics of the regional climate. They are also expected to support the provision of user-tailored climate services including products related to climate modeling.
