Project Officer - Climate and Environmental Services Group
48 months fixed term
We seek an individual with strong project management skills, coupled with
knowledge of earth/environmental science, to play a key role in the
development of a cross-faculty group within the University of Leeds. The
objective of the role is to integrate activity in climate and natural
hazard research and to promote output to external stakeholders.
You will play a key role in the development and implementation of the
delivery plan for the Climate and Environmental Services group. This
sector embraces environmental analysis and prediction for a range of
global phenomena and timescales, including the broad area of ?Natural
Hazards?. Key external partners in this sector are weather and climate
service providers, including the Met Office, and the reinsurance industry.
This sector is international, and you will be expected to travel within
the UK and overseas, as needed, in order to develop and sustain strong
relationships with external partners. One important partner in this sector
is the Met Office. Through a new formal partnership, established in 2010,
you will work closely with the Met Office to increase the commercial
exploitation of our work in climate services in particular. You will also
be involved in the development of new partnerships with industry in the
area of ?geohazards? (earthquakes, landslides, volcanic eruptions etc).
You will be educated to postgraduate degree level or equivalent, ideally
in Earth/Environmental Science. With excellent communication and
organisational skills, you will also have the ability to work under
pressure and to tight deadlines.
University Grade 7 (?29,972 - ?35,788 p.a.)
