Computational modelling is at the core of climate science, where complex models of earth systems are a routine part of the scientific process, but this comes with challenges. Most models embed significant amounts of inherent and accidental complexity which impedes the programming task itself, as well as hampering verification and maintenance efforts, reproducibility, and high-performance executions to compute predictions. In the face of the present climate crisis, there is pressing need for skilled software engineers to aid climate scientists in delivering a new generation of high-quality, high-performance, and high-assurance models. This is the broad aim of these RSE posts at the new Institute of Computing for Climate Science (ICCS) at the University of Cambridge.
