Job details :
The applicant joins the laboratory for 5 months, to replace a team member in the SWIO-Energy project and to work on:
- Regional Climate Simulations of WRF model.
- Reporting
His (Her) tasks include the regular writing and editing of technical reports and scientific paper for all the partners of the project.
Basic qualifications (required at time of application)

The successful candidate will join in the project of SWIO-Energy (Solar and Wind Energy in the Indian Ocean) in charge of simulating local climate at very high resolution of Reunion island.
Project research :
In the framework of a project of the regional cooperation programme, INTERREG V 2014-2020 (European funding), the University of La Réunion (UR), in partnership with the University of Mauritius (UoM), is seeking a scientist (named as research engineer in France) in regional climate modelling for climate studies in the Southwest Indian Ocean.
ENERGY-Lab, the project leader, is located both in the field of solar metrology (the team manages a network of fifteen meteorological stations over La Réunion but also in neighbouring countries - South Africa, Mauritius, Comoros, Seychelles and Madagascar), and in the field of regional climate modelling (since 2011, the team has implemented a dynamic downscaling approach based on the use of regional climate models forced on their lateral boundaries by: 1) global climate models, 2) climate reanalyses).
The main objective of the SWIO-Energy project is to study, for the first time in the region, the impact of climate change on renewable resources (solar, wind) at the local scale over La Réunion and Mauritius using ground measurements, satellite imagery and simulations from regional climate models. The researcher will 1) work in collaboration with and under the responsibility of the project manager, himself overseen by the scientific manager of ENERGY-Lab in charge of the project, and 2) interact with the study engineer in scientific calculation of the laboratory and the study engineer in data processing recruited as well on the project.

- Regional Climate Simulations of WRF model.
The applicant will be responsible for carrying out the WRF simulations required for the project according to a program defined by the team and its partners. His (Her) role is to prepare the simulated data sets used by all project partners, including outputs from existing models (reanalyses, data generated by the models that will be used for the project - CMIP, CORDEX, etc.) and WRF outputs produced as part of the project. This work will be done in conjunction with the project manager, the group of researchers involved in it (CRC, LACy, Météo France) and the study engineer in scientific calculation of the laboratory. He (She) will also carry out statistical processing and analysis on the model outputs (validation…).
