I'm sure there are more, but these are the ones that I've worked with in the past. European climate research agencies seemed to have their act together a lot better than US ones; before I left the industry, they were much further on the path of moving computation to the commercial cloud (instead of trying to keep up in the supercomputer arms race, which always seemed like a losing proposition to me), and I think ML has been increasingly integrated into climate models as a way to approximate complex dynamical systems.
In terms of which of these labs had their head screwed on straight from a technical side, it was probably KNMI / Met Office, followed by Max Planck and then IPSL.
- UK: Met Office https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/about-us/careers/vacancies)
- France: Institut Pierre Simon Laplace https://www.ipsl.fr/en/ (their job page is busted)
- Germany: Max Planck Institute https://www.mpimet.mpg.de/en/institute/opportunities/
- Netherlands: KNMI https://www.werkenvoornederland.nl/organisaties/ministerie-v...
