Reporting to Dr Rupert Stuart-Smith, Senior Research Fellow in Climate Science and the Law, the postholder will be a computationally proficient climate scientist working on attribution and projections of climate change impacts on human health, focusing on climate change hotspots in southern Africa, the Andes, and southern Europe. The role involves conducting scientific research within a multidisciplinary group at the University of Oxford to refine methods, understand impacts in understudied regions, and inform adaptation and legal responses.
