<p class="MsoBodyText">The Scientist will work in the Active Sensing Observations Team, in the Earth System Assimilation Section of the Research Department at ECMWF and will be responsible for maintaining and improving the exploitation of GNSS radio occultation
(GNSS-RO) observations from the current network of meteorological satellites for Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP).

<p class="MsoBodyText">The successful applicant should have strong communication skills, as this role will also involve collaborating and coordinating some activities with other European NWP centres as part of the EUMETSAT Radio Occultation Meteorology Satellite
Application Facility (ROM SAF). The work with the ROM SAF will mainly involve maintaining and developing assimilation tools for GNSS-RO, and the monitoring the operational GNSS-RO missions.
