Develop methods that support risk modelling and projection based on climatic and socio-economic data.
Engage in participatory mapping initiatives, involving communities in data collection and analysis processes.
Contribute to environmental science projects, analyze data, and provide insights into climate-related challenges.

Collaborate with interdisciplinary teams, stakeholders, and community members to achieve project objectives.
Work collaboratively with the rest of the Climate Security team to develop a deep understanding of the relationships between climate and conflict.
Contribute to the writing of high-quality technical notes, project reports, and if of interest also peer- reviewed publications.
Other tasks as assigned as relevant to expertise and ongoing or future projects.

Experience with participatory mapping approaches and community engagement.
Familiarity with Open Street Map data and tools
Proven experience with spatial analysis, and handling of large geospatial datasets using R and/or Python is a plus.
Strong familiarity and experience working with large geospatial climate datasets including climate model outputs (e.g., CMIP5/6), historical climate data (e.g., station data, CHIRPS, CHIRTS), and agricultural datasets such as crop yield data, soils data, etc.
Strong research and analytical skills, with a focus on climate and environmental issues.
