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 thinking space for natural and social scientists to do meaningful research on climate change. Climate Analytics aims to close the loop between emission pathways, global climate projections, climate impacts and application of climate services at the regional to sub-national level. We are committed to supporting 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, with a strong focus on stakeholder engagement and developing countries, including Small Island Developing States and Least Developed Countries. The Science Team is structured in groups focused on key work areas. Science Team Group Leads guide the thematic work within the Science Team. 
 
Within Climate Analytics, the Science Team works closely with other teams, in particular Implementation Strategies, Climate Policy and Diplomacy, and its regional offices in Africa, Australia, the Caribbean, North America and South Asia, ensuring the organization's overall work is based on the best available science.
 
The Science Team is engaged with a large and exciting variety of third-party funded projects contributing to the global discourse, negotiations and policy development on climate science and policy and generating targeted regional scientific knowledge relevant for local implementation of mitigation and adaptation, and the understanding of loss and damage, in the context of the most vulnerable countries.  
 
As the Head of the Science team, you will play a pivotal role in shaping the scientific outputs and supporting the organization'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 are ample opportunities for you to work across and provide scientific leadership to various regions, including the most vulnerable countries, as well as with a variety of scientific outputs ranging from reports, blogs, and peer-reviewed publications to climate impacts and climate service tools. 
 
We offer a positive and inspiring working atmosphere in an international and interdisciplinary team, participation in a great network of partner institutes and stakeholders, as well as engagement with the international climate change negotiations and our support work for stakeholders globally particularly small island states, the least developed countries and other vulnerable countries.
