Scientist
Job Purpose
As our Scientist – Vegetation-Climate Interactions , the key duties are:
• Work with colleagues on major components of the CARMINE project and subsequent team projects on vegetation-climate interactions.
• Develop understanding and expertise in a wide range of statistical methods for analysing diverse environmental datasets.
• Develop and maintain robust software code for data manipulation, analyses and visualisations.
• Build strong collaborations with team members, project stakeholders and other national and international experts.
• Contribute to project reports and communicate relevant science to a range of audiences, including presentations at meetings or conferences and providing major input to peer-reviewed publications.
Essential Qualifications, Skills & Abilities
1. A relevant PhD or scientific experience.
2. Experience observing and/or modelling environmental processes, with evidence of working independently to provide high class outputs, supporting the Met Office’s core value ‘Experts by Nature’.
3. Strong data analysis, computing and programming skills in R, python (or other similar coding language).
4. Ability to produce clear written scientific communications, including major contributions to scientific papers or project reports.
5. Demonstrated ability to work collaboratively with colleagues and stakeholders to deliver joint goals, supporting the Met Office’s core value ‘We’re Better Together’.
Desirable Qualifications, Skills & Abilities
We encourage you to apply if you believe you meet our essential criteria, but your application will be even stronger if you have:
1. Experience analysing vegetation or other ecological data.
2. Practical experience of urban climate and/or environment.
3. Evidence of relevant scientific writing, e.g. published papers on vegetation-climate interactions.
4. Experience of nature-based solutions.
