Vos missions en quelques mots
The regional climate modeling community is organized internationally through the CORDEX international program. One of the objectives of this program is to make high-resolution climate datasets for various geographical areas openly available to users outside the program. These datasets are made available through the Earth System Grid Federation (ESGF). The CNRM has been contributing to the CORDEX program since its launch in 2009. As part of the current phase of the program, also referred to as CORDEX-CMIP6, the CNRM has recently created a new generation of high-resolution climate simulations for Europe, the Mediterranean, Central America, and Oceania. The CNRM plans to publish these data on the ESGF in 2026. The position offered is part of this context.
Mission:
The selected candidate will be responsible for contributing to the publication of CNRM CORDEX data on the ESGF national node. This work will be carried out in collaboration with other engineers in the research group and under the supervision of CNRM CORDEX manager, Samuel Somot.
Tasks:
The duties of this position will consist of:
- Verifying that the data complies with CORDEX standards (CMOR, etc.) using a dedicated tool, and correcting the data if necessary
- Uploading the data to the CNRM's dedicated servers
- Taking the necessary steps to publish the data on the ESGF national node (indexing, etc.)
- Organizing and archiving the CNRM's CORDEX data
- Documenting and providing user support for this data
Profil recherché
General requirements:
- The selected candidate must hold an engineering degree (BAC+5) or MSc or PhD in atmospheric, oceanic, or climate sciences, or in data science, obtained before the start date of the contract.
- Experience in numerical modeling, specifically in the field of climate studies, climate data science, or regional climate modeling, would be appreciated but is not mandatory.
- Experience in data CMORization or publication on ESGF would be appreciated but is not mandatory.
- Experience in handling large volumes of data would be appreciated, but is not mandatory.
Technical skills:
- Good knowledge of the netcdf format
- Familiarity with tools for handling NetCDF files (nco, cdo, etc.)
- Proficiency in the Unix environment (bash scripting)
- Experience with one or more scientific analysis tools (e.g., Python, ncl, R, etc.)
Soft skills:
- Autonomy in day-to-day work
- Strong organizational skills
- Spoken and written English at a B2 level minimum
Niveau d'études minimum requis
- Niveau Niveau 7 Master/diplômes équivalents

Qui sommes-nous ?
A vos côtés, dans un climat qui change
Expert public de la météo et du climat, Météo-France est à vos côtés pour contribuer à votre sécurité au quotidien et vous aider à prendre les meilleures décisions, dans un climat qui change.
Face à des épisodes météo dangereux encore plus intenses et plus fréquents sous l’effet du changement climatique, nos missions au service de votre sécurité sont cruciales.
Nous mobilisons notre expertise, notre excellence scientifique et technologique pour vous permettre d’anticiper les phénomènes météorologiques et climatiques à enjeux, et de vous y adapter.
Descriptif du service
Joining Météo France means becoming part of a multi-site organization located in mainland France, overseas territories, etc. Météo-France is organized into central departments and interregional departments. Below is a presentation of the department you could join:
The DESR brings together the research entities of Météo-France (mainly CNRM, SAFIRE and LACy), the National School of Meteorology (ENM) and the shared administrative and IT support services.
The CNRM is a Joint Research Unit (UMR 3589, https://cnrm.sedoo.fr/en) under the joint supervision of Météo-France and CNRS. The CNRM conducts research in the field of meteorology and climate, from the observation, understanding and modelling of processes to the development of weather forecasting and climate projection systems that can be transferred to Météo-France's operational services.
The person recruited will join the MOSCA (Modélisation du Système Climat régionaAl) team of the CNRM's Groupe de Modélisation Grande Echelle et Climat (GMGEC, https://cnrm.sedoo.fr/en/research-group-gmgec-2/), whose aim is to improve knowledge of regional climates using a dedicated modelling approach.
