• •Project management and team leadership experience
• •Programming skills in Python or MatLab
• •Experience with git and unit testing
• •Interest in climate-change mitigation
• •Excellent English writing and verbal skills
• •Teamwork and diverse interaction skills

Tasks

• •Evaluate emissions scenarios using climate-model emulators
• •Produce probabilistic assessments of global climate outcomes
• •Develop analytical pipelines for physical climate indicators
• •Maintain the Climate Action Tracker aggregation system
• •Create scientific tools to assess mitigation options
• •Calibrate reduced-complexity climate models with historical data
• •Monitor scientific literature and IPCC developments
• •Establish global and national decarbonization benchmarks
• •Expand partnerships with climate modeling groups
