About the Role
We’re seeking an enthusiastic 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 physical climate risks.
You will help develop new flood modelling techniques and contribute insights into climate impacts as part of a collaborative interdisciplinary team.
Responsibilities
The impact you’ll own
* Design and develop next-generation flood hazard models by integrating remote sensing, hydrological, and climate data to simulate riverine and surface water flooding at regional to global scales.
* Collaborate across teams to deliver impactful flood risk products, translating scientific outputs into commercial solutions.
* Lead model evaluation and verification, ensuring scientific integrity through statistical benchmarking and thorough documentation.
* Share scientific insights and methods with stakeholders and at industry conferences.
Qualifications
* PhD or equivalent experience in hydrology, hydraulic modelling, flood risk, environmental modelling, statistical analysis, or remote sensing.
* Experience with scientific computing in Python, ideally in a cloud environment.
* Proficiency in sourcing, processing, and working with large datasets, including remote sensing data.
* Ability to communicate complex concepts to non-technical audiences.
* Proactive, collaborative, with strong interpersonal skills.
Preferred Skills (Optional)
* Experience with global hydrological models or flood risk modelling at national/global scales.
* Experience applying machine learning to flood challenges.
* Background in industry-based science or agile environments.
* Knowledge of satellite imagery for flood mapping.
* Familiarity with hydrodynamic models like LISFLOOD, HEC-RAS, TUFLOW, or Delft3D.
Qualifications
Same as above, emphasizing PhD or equivalent experience.
Benefits
* Contribute to impactful climate change initiatives.
* Annual training and conference budget (£1,000).
* Regular performance and salary reviews.
* Flexible hours and hybrid working (3 days in-office).
* Mental health and wellbeing support.
* 25 days holiday plus bank holidays, Christmas closure, and birthday half-day.
* Optional socials and team events.
* Office snacks and refreshments.
* Cycle to work scheme.
* Enhanced parental leave and pet-friendly office.
* Commitment to diversity and inclusion.
