The Integrated Climate Impacts (ICI) Research Group  within the IIASA Energy, Climate, and Environment (ECE) Program is recruiting a researcher with a background in (climate) physics, climate science, or scientific software design. The successful candidate will work with a team of international scientists developing the work on Simple Climate Models and emulators and contribute to the development of emulator and statistical models for the representation of climate risks.

The ECE Program at IIASA is one of the world’s leading global Integrated Assessment Modeling (IAM) teams, and seeks to deepen it’s understanding of physical climate risks, and their societal and economic consequences. Interdisciplinary teams within ECE work towards integrating physical climate risks into their modeling and scenario building activities and this position would critically inform such efforts.

MAIN TASKS AND RESPONSIBILITIES

  • Contribute in a leading role to all developments of the climate assessment workflow in the ECE program. This includes steps like harmonization, infilling and running the global-mean, emissions-driven simple climate models.
  • Contribute to the development of the simple climate model MAGICC and community projects in the space of simple climate model development.
  • Contribute to the development and implementation of the ECE strategy for deploying AI and machine learning for climate data analysis, emulation, downscaling, and bias correction.
  • Contribute to ongoing and future projects and related deliverables, reports, stakeholder communication and capacity building activities.
