  • Ability to work with large, multi-dimensional data (e.g. netCDF, Xarray, Dask, GRIB, TIFF files)
  • Strong computer programming skills (e.g. MATLAB, Python)
  • Familiarity with sustainable finance initiatives relevant to physical climate risk is a plus (e.g. TCFD, EU Taxonomy, NGFS)
  • Excellent verbal and written English


We are looking forward to your application
