About the role We're seeking an enthusiastic and capable flood scientist with expertise in flood-related modelling to help us understand climate impacts across multiple spatial scales. This is an exciting opportunity to apply cutting-edge science to real-world challenges. As a Flood Scientist, you'll be part of a multidisciplinary team working at the intersection of climate science, geospatial analysis, and advanced modelling. Together, we're building global-scale models to assess the physical risks of climate change. We combine observational data and model outputs at both local and global scales to project physical impacts of climate change, such as floods, subsidence, storms, droughts, and wildfires. You'll help lead the development of new flood modelling techniques and contribute to insights into climate impacts, as part of a collaborative interdisciplinary team. Responsabilities The impact you'll own * Design and advance next-generation flood hazard models by integrating remote sensing, hydrological, and climate data to simulate riverine and surface water flooding from regional to global scales. * Work cross-functionally to deliver impactful flood risk products, collaborating with scientists, geospatial specialists, engineers, and loss modellers to translate scientific outputs into commercial-ready solutions. * Lead robust model evaluation and verification, employing statistical benchmarking and validation, along with thorough documentation to ensure scientific integrity for clients. * Disseminate scientific insights and methods to engage with stakeholders and customers, and represent the team at international conferences and industry events. Essential Skills * PhD or equivalent industry experience in hydrology, hydraulic modelling, flood risk, environmental modelling, statistical analysis, or remote sensing. * Experience leveraging scientific computing techniques with Python, ideally in a cloud environment. * Skilled in sourcing, processing, and working with large datasets for model development and validation, including the use of remote sensing and data science techniques to support model inputs and assess performance. * Ability to explain complex concepts to non-technical audiences. * Proactive and collaborative approach, with strong interpersonal skills and the ability to work effectively across an interdisciplinary team. Desirable Skills Experience in any of the following areas will help you stand out, but is not required. If you're passionate about the role, we strongly encourage you to apply! * Experience with global hydrological models or national-to-global scale flood risk modelling (river, surface, or compound flooding). * Experience applying machine learning techniques to flood-related challenges, such as mapping flood defences or estimating streamflow in ungauged catchments. * Experience working in an industry-based science role or agile environment with cross-functional collaboration. * Using statistical methods for model calibration, validation, or flood frequency analysis. * Quantifying uncertainty or running ensemble/sensitivity analyses in flood simulation workflows. * Working with satellite imagery (e.g., Sentinel, MODIS, Landsat) for flood extent mapping or model validation. * Familiarity with hydrodynamic models such as LISFLOOD-FP, HEC-RAS, TUFLOW, or Delft3D. Qualifications * A PhD, or equivalent industry experience, in hydrology, hydraulic modelling, flood risk, statistical analysis, environmental science, or remote sensing.

Flood Scientist

You need 3 years in cyclone research, Python cloud computing skills, strong communication, and a PhD or equivalent in climate science or related fields. Drive real-world impact under tight deadlines.

You will refine storm models, evaluate outputs, communicate findings, engage stakeholders, and collaborate with scientists on integrated storm risk models.

About Us We are a leading global climate risk and analytics provider located in London, UK and New York, US. Earlier this year, we closed Series A led by GV (Google Ventures) and are on a fast trajectory to lead the financial services and asset management industries with our B2E SaaS platform, comprised of three products, Carta, Spectra and Adapt, which resolve customer climate risk challenges across their entire workflows. We are at a pivotal point in scaling our product offering, expanding our market reach, and refining our product strategy to sustain continued success. About the role As a Climate Scientist focusing on storms, you'll join an interdisciplinary science team, with three other climate scientists, as well as hazard scientists, geospatial experts and loss modellers. Together, we're building global-scale models to assess the physical risks of climate change. This role is focused on the continual support and development of our storm based hazard models, currently tropical cyclones, storm surge and European extra-tropical cyclones. We're seeking an enthusiastic and capable climate scientist with expertise in the modelling of (extra-) tropical cyclones to join the team and support the continual development of our internal hazard models and asses the impact of climate change on the risk posed by these perils. We work in a commercial environment, so the end product needs to meet a client requirements and this drives our development. However, we want to do be informed by and do good science, and then make this useful for people! The impact you'll own * Undertake cutting-edge scientific model development by leading the refinement of our storm models based on scientific research and applying tropical cyclone and storm surge models in new geographies. * Lead robust model evaluation and verification work to evaluate the model outputs and document models for internal and external communication for banking clients. * Disseminate scientific insights and methods to engage with stakeholders, customers, the scientific community - representing the team at international conferences and industry events. * Collaborate across scientific and technical domains through working with other climate and geospatial scientists co-develop integrated storm risk (hazard and loss) models Essential Skills * 3 years relevant industry or post-doctoral experience working on tropical cyclones or extra-tropical cyclones. * Experience leveraging scientific computing techniques using Python in a cloud/remote environment. * Strong communication skills with ability to explain complex concepts to a non-technical audience. * A desire to use scientific expertise to drive real-world impact by understanding client and product needs, and work under tight deadlines to enhance our customer offering. Desirable Skills Experience in any one of these areas makes you stand out but are not required for the role and if you are passionate and interested in the role we encourage you to apply! * Experience researching (extra) tropical cyclone impacts and risk. * Experience working with catastrophe models, particularly for wind based perils. * Experience with Bayesian statistics and/or Extreme Value Theory for extreme events Qualifications * PhD or equivalent experience in climate science, hazard modeling or statistical analysis.
