<p class="BodyText-nospaceafter">ECMWF is both a research institute and a 24/7 operational service, producing numerical weather predictions for its Member and Co-operating States as well as users around the world. ECMWF carries out scientific and technical
research and analysis aiming to continuously improve global prediction. ECMWF processes in its high-performance computing facility large amounts of observations to provide up-to-date global analyses and climate reanalyses of the atmosphere, ocean and land
surface. For details, see <a href="http://www.ecmwf.int/" target="_blank">www.ecmwf.int/</a><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="BodyText-nospaceafter"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="BodyText-nospaceafter">Over the years, ECMWF’s partnership with the European Union has grown, and in 2014 ECMWF became an entrusted entity to operate the Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS) and the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S)
on behalf of the European Commission until mid-2021 and ECMWF is <span class="MsoHyperlink">
<span style="color:black;text-decoration:none">preparing plans for the next phase of the Copernicus Programme for the period 2021-2027.

<p class="BodyText-nospaceafter">ECMWF currently operates from its headquarters, located in Reading, UK, and its data centre located in Bologna, Italy. Over the course of 2021, ECMWF will be opening additional new premises in Bonn, Germany.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="BodyText-nospaceafter">ECMWF has embarked on an exciting new initiative to explore the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning in applications of numerical weather predictions. To learn more about future plans for machine learning at ECMWF,

<p class="BodyText-nospaceafter">The successful candidate will play an essential role in the development of customised machine learning applications for several application areas at ECMWF. This will involve much interaction with domain scientists in providing
both advice and support in the development and implementation of machine learning tools, and the efficient link between new machine learning tools and the existing numerical weather prediction workflow. These tasks will be supported by existing efforts at
ECMWF to establish an efficient machine learning workflow for weather and climate models including the
<i>CliMetLab </i>tool (<a href="http://climetlab.readthedocs.io">http://climetlab.readthedocs.io</a>), the new Centre of Excellence between ATOS and ECMWF (<a href="https://www.ecmwf.int/en/about/media-centre/news/2020/ecmwf-and-atos-launch-center-excellence-weather-climate-modelling"><b><span style="color:windowtext">https://www.ecmwf.int/en/about/media-centre/news/2020/ecmwf-and-atos-launch-center-excellence-weather-climate-modelling</span></b></a>),
