Context of the role
We are currently seeking a new Head of our Climate Science and Impacts Team (hereafter referred to as Science Team) based in Berlin, Germany.
The Science Team is a dynamic place for natural and social scientists to do meaningful research on climate change. Climate Analytics aims to close the loop between emissions pathways, global climate projections, climate impacts and the application of climate services at the regional to sub-national level. We are committed to supporting the achievement of the Paris Agreement’s 1.5 degree Celsius Long Term Temperature Goal and are striving to provide the science needed to drive climate ambition. Our team includes expertise on scenario research, global climate projections, climate action, impacts, adaptation, and loss and damage. We have a strong focus on stakeholder engagement, particularly with Small Island Developing States and Least Developed Countries.
Within Climate Analytics, the Science Team works closely with other teams, particularly the Implementation Strategies team, the Climate Policy and Diplomacy team, and with our regional offices in Africa, Australia, the Caribbean, North America and South Asia, ensuring the organisation’s overall work is based on the best available science. The Science Team is structured in groups focused on key work areas, with Group Leads guiding the thematic work within the team.
The Science Team works on an exciting array of third-party funded projects that contribute to the global discourse on climate science and policy. The Team also generates regionally specific scientific knowledge to make sure those working on the ground to implement climate mitigation and adaptation strategies have access to the best science.
As Head of the Science Team, you will play a pivotal role in shaping the scientific outputs and supporting the organisation’s mission and culture. Your leadership and expertise in climate change sciences will be instrumental in developing Climate Analytics Science work globally. Experience and involvement in international scientific (and ideally policy) discourses on climate change is integral. Your input and expertise will be vital to maintain and grow Climate Analytics’ scientific profile and contribution to the issue generally.
With our expanding regional presence through offices in the Caribbean, Africa, South Asia, the US and Australia-Pacific, there will be ample opportunities for you to work across and provide scientific leadership to various regions, including the most vulnerable countries. You will also author a variety of scientific outputs ranging from reports, blogs, and peer-reviewed publications to interactive tools.
We offer a dynamic working atmosphere in an international and interdisciplinary team with great connections in a network of partner institutes and stakeholders. You will have the opportunity to engage with the international climate change negotiations and support our work with stakeholders globally – particularly those in small island states, the least developed countries and other vulnerable countries.
