A Technical Support Unit (TSU) provides technical and administrative services in support of assessment deliverables. The TSU is located at the Carnegie Institution for Science in Stanford, California, USA. As a core member of the TSU, a Project Scientist is sought to provide scientific expertise to both the IPCC WG2 co-chairs and to the Task Group on Data and Scenario Support for Impact and Climate Analysis (TGICA). Emphasis will be on scoping, preparing, and reviewing the WG2 contribution to the Fifth Assessment Report (AR5) and any Special Reports agreed upon by the Panel in response to specific requests of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). The incumbent will serve as TSU focal point for support of the TGICA work program, including the New Scenarios development process, ongoing data archiving and distribution mechanisms, and training and capacity building. Requires a Ph.D. in social or natural science discipline and 3 or more years' experience relevant to the development and use of scenarios in assessment of impacts, adaptation, and vulnerability to global climate change. The specific academic discipline of the successful applicant may be less important than practical training and experience in interdisciplinary climate change research.
