Missions
This job is proposed in the frame of the project MICA (Modelling Interactions between Climate change and Agriculture in the ancient West) funded by the French Agency for Research (ANR) for the 2023-2026 period. MICA aims to define the impact of climatic variations on the productivity of crops in the past and on the transformation of agriculture, in order to to analyze which strategies ancient societies developed to adapt to these changes. MICA focuses on 4 areas distributed between Northern France and Northern Morocco. It is an interdisciplinary project gathering climatologists, archaeologists, agronomists, palaeoenvironmentalists, geochemists from France, Spain, Morocco.
Activités
- to adapt a code developed in R to calculate the emulator of the agrosystem model; this code uses algorithms of spatial regression, Markov Chains Monte- Carlo algorithms and other standard statistical techniques
- to do pre- and post-processing for models, e.g. writing scripts for data formatting, data analysing, visualisation
- to interact with the data providers (archeologists, climatologists, agronomists) to take into account their own constraints
Compétences
- programming experience in C language and R platform
- familiarity with UNIX-like operating system, experience of using clusters or super computers will be a plus,
- general knowledge of mathematics, modelling techniques and algorithm development,
- good knowledge of spoken and written English,
- rxperience in environmental sciences is an advantage,
- to be autonomous and to appreciate the team work,
- to be able to develop personal and collaborative projects.
