Barcelona, España Mitiga Solutions A tiempo completo

**Our Mission**

Climate change is causing deep uncertainty at all levels of society, with climate volatility reducing the security of all land-based assets and posing a multi-level security threat for the functioning of enterprises, societies, and governments.

Mitiga is a spinoff of the Barcelona Supercomputing Center, which hosts MareNostrum, one of the most powerful supercomputers in Europe.

Mitiga's mission is firmly rooted in employing cutting-edge science and technology to mitigate the multifaceted risks posed by climate-driven perils. Our approach spans a spectrum of temporal scales, from real-time and annual forecasts to projections spanning the next century. This comprehensive perspective on risk, coupled with our capacity to transfer risks to capital markets via catastrophe bonds, positions us to significantly contribute to enhanced climate mitigation, resilience, and equity.

And we need you.

**Requirements**:
**Who you are**

You're a seasoned Climate Expert who has honed their skills through a **PhD**. Your degree is in climate science, climate modelling, or related field with 6+ years of experience.
- You have experience in the private sector, specifically in the field of climate services and/or insurance and/or financial sectors.
- You know how to develop and deliver tailored climate solutions to diverse stakeholders.
- You have extensive experience in climate modelling and using forecast data for sub-seasonal and seasonal to decadal timescales, as well for climate projections.
- You´re skilled in big data processing and handling model uncertainties and biases.
- Knowledge of statistical downscaling for the definition of regional distribution and time evolution of small-scale features given large-scale coarse resolution analyses, forecasts, or simulations is considered a strong asset.
- Experience in implementing Artificial Intelligence approaches is a plus.
- You have very good knowledge of UNIX/Linux operating systems and advanced skills in programming languages such as Python and R.

Your love for learning drives you to embrace new and challenging areas. As a team player, you enjoy collaborating and building cool stuff together with your colleagues. You appreciate the fast-paced, results-oriented culture of a startup because you're ready to trade dusty papers for applied research that makes a difference in businesses and people's lives. You share our mission goals and strive to deliver solutions of the highest quality and on time. Plus, you can fill many shoe sizes and types in one day with a positive attitude.

**Your impact**
- Contribute to the development of_ Mitiga´s _climate scores and services_ you will actively contribute to translating the scientific findings and methods arising from the study of climate processes and their impact on extreme events into both high-level climate scores and catastrophe model hazard modules. You will work on other climate services tailored to diverse stakeholders, geographical areas and use cases. This includes the development of qualitative and quantitative indicators that capture the different dimensions of climate change and climate variability and, in turn, their impact on the appropriate peril-specific risk factors for each use case.
- Provide the building blocks for climate-conditioning catastrophe models. _Use your process knowledge to develop climate conditioned hazard modules for cat-models in collaboration with our wider modelling team. In doing so, you use your experience to explicitly take the uncertainty propagation through the catastrophe modelling chain into account. Furthermore, you will be the go-to person within Mitiga to explain and communicate these uncertainties.
- Foster partnerships and stay updated with cutting-edge research_**: You'll be involved in high-profile partnerships to enhance the understanding of climate dynamics, improve climate modelling techniques, and develop innovative approaches to disrupt insurance, finance, asset management and humanitarian industries. You'll stay abreast of the latest advancements in climate science, climate modelling, and climate service methodologies.

**Benefits**

**Diversity**

A recent study shows that one in every 10 tech workers in Spain are women. Only 8% of all contracts in 2019 with people with disabilities were in technology and science. Meanwhile, 30% of LGTBIQ people in Spain do not come out in the workplace for fear of discrimination.

This is neither the world we want to live in nor the workplace we’re building.

Mitiga is committed to creating a diverse environment and is proud to be an equal opportunity employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, colour, religion, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, national origin, genetics, disability, age, or veteran status.

In fact, we strongly encourage applicants from minority groups to apply.
