  • Modelling experience with climate models (i.e. CMIP5/6 GCMs, RCMs, etc.), ensemble analysis, uncertainty quantification, and climate model downscaling
  • 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
