(Senior) Climate & Energy Data Scientist (f/m/d)

Job description

Job description We are seeking a (Senior) Climate & Energy Data Scientist to strengthen our scenario and data capabilities at the interface of global mitigation pathways, climate policy analysis, and decision-relevant insights for countries. In this role, you will contribute to core projects including the Climate Action Tracker (CAT) assessments, the National Pathway Explorer (NPE 1.5), and global mitigation scenario analysis looking at Highest Possible Ambition (HPA) (e.g. using Integrated Assessment Models (IAMs) such as REMIND/GCAM). You will produce policy-relevant indicators such as 1.5°C compatibility, overshoot, CDR, methane, and fossil fuel phase-out timelines. You will build and maintain robust, reproducible analytical workflows in Python to curate, evaluate, and interpret emissions and energy-system scenarios and support assessments of national pathways (e.g., nationally determined contributions (NDCs) and other country plans). You will work closely with the Climate Scientist to interpret the temperature implications of key scenario indicators — including carbon dioxide removal, land use, fossil fuel phase-out, and short-lived climate pollutants — drawing on climate emula...
