   Subject: [IPCC-announcement] Vacancy Announcement: IPCC WG2 Project Scientist


   PROJECT SCIENTIST, IPCC WORKING GROUP II TECHNICAL SUPPORT UNIT


   Working Group II of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)

   assesses the vulnerability of socio-economic and natural systems to

   climate change, potential negative and positive consequences, and options

   for adapting to it. 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.


   This is a term position through 30 September 2009, with possibility of

   annual extensions through FY2014. Relocation expenses will be covered. To

   view the complete job description and apply, visit

   <http://www.fin.ucar.edu/hr/employment> (reference job #9068 under

   `Current Job Openings/Scientific'). Initial consideration will be given to

   applications received prior to 2/20/2008. Thereafter, applications will be

   reviewed on an as-needed basis. We value diversity. AA/EOE
