Context And Mission

The Earth System Services Group (ESS) at the Earth Sciences Department conducts interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary research to enhance the societal value of climate prediction services, atmospheric composition and weather forecasting. The group actively engages with society, decision-makers, and businesses to co-produce and exchange knowledge and develop user-oriented services. The work includes research on the impact of weather, atmospheric chemistry and climate upon socio-economic sectors such as renewable energy, agriculture, water management, forest fires and urban development. The aim of the ESS is to enhance knowledge cocreation and improve resilience by accelerating adaptation to a rapidly changing environment.
Within this context, we are seeking a highly motivated scientist to conduct cutting-edge research on climate change adaptation and environmental justice in urban social-ecological-technological systems.
The person appointed will be involved in different EU and national-funded projects,



with the aim of co-developing climate and air quality services at different time scales from sub-seasonal, to seasonal and multi-decadal for urban areas. The selected candidate will work with state-of-the-art climate predictions and projections data to obtain relevant climate indicators to analyse climate change impacts by integrating social, ecological, and technological dimensions of urban systems. The candidate will also closely collaborate with urban stakeholders to co-develop useful and usable climate services and advance our understanding of urban vulnerabilities. This position presents an opportunity to work alongside a wide range of leading international climate and air quality scientists delivering cutting-edge earth system services across Europe. In addition, the position holder will work in an transdisciplinary setting, collaborating with interdisciplinary scientific teams, as well as with the stakeholder community, to produce more in
