CORDEX Logo

The World Climate Research Programme (WCRP) invites applications for the position of Director of the International Project Office for Coordinated Regional Downscaling Experiment (CORDEX-IPOC), to be hosted jointly by the European Space Agency (ESA) and University of Cape Town (UCT).

CORDEX goals are: 

  • To better understand relevant regional/local climate phenomena, their variability and changes, through downscaling.
  • To evaluate and improve regional climate downscaling models and techniques
  • To produce coordinated sets of regional downscaled projections worldwide
  • To foster communication and knowledge exchange with users of regional climate information

The Director leads the international project office ensuring that it operates efficiently to actively serve the needs of CORDEX and its global community, in alignment with and under the guidance of the CORDEX Science Advisory Team (SAT).

To know more about the position and to apply, see the details available in the call. Application closing date: February 13, 2026

15 December 2025

CMIP logo

The WCRP Earth System Modelling and Observations (ESMO) Infrastructure Panel (WIP) is a panel of the Scientific Steering Group (SSG) of the ESMO Core Project.   The WIP is charged with coordinating and promoting a robust and sustainable global data infrastructure in support of the development, dissemination, and evaluation of Global and Regional Climate Model Intercomparison Project (MIP) data through the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP) and other WCRP and community modelling activities as resources are available. 

This call invites the community to nominate candidates (including self-nomination) who have well demonstrated skills and experience in any of the following: Cloud computing infrastructure; Lossy compression; User experience and interface development; Standardisation tools e.g., CMOR, pycmor, XIOS; Support for machine learning models; Applications for other topics within the WIP’s remit may also be considered.

To know more, view the open call and apply online before 30 January 2026 - 08:00 UTC.
