You will also create engaging content for various RMetS activities and stakeholders, and work with the media to enhance public awareness of weather and climate.

If you have a passion for weather and climate science coupled with a relevant graduate degree or higher, this could be the perfect role for you.

  • Support increasing opportunities for engagement with the media, deliver regular interviews, and work on activities to improve the communication of academic research into mainstream media.
  • Design and deliver public engagement activities, e.g. Weather Photographer of the Year touring exhibition, citizen science projects, and outreach training.
  • Work with the RMetS Science Engagement Fellows on Insurance Special Interest Group and Energy Special Interest Group sector-specific projects and their associated outputs.
  • Support ad hoc formal education initiatives.

Essential criteria you will need to demonstrate:

  • A background in weather and climate, either through: a degree in a scientific field relevant to weather and climate; OR a Master’s degree within a scientific field relevant to weather and climate, with a minimum of three subsequent years working in industry.
  • Extensive knowledge across weather and climate, and evidence of involvement in activities to ensure ongoing current knowledge across diverse areas.
  • Experience in communicating scientific concepts and information to a different range of stakeholders (for example policy makers, the wider scientific and social science community, or the general public).
  • A friendly and open-minded approach, with strong interpersonal skills and the ability to work well in a small team.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, able to prepare documentation for outside stakeholders and willing to communicate with the media.
  • A people person who has the confidence to proactively reach out to and communicate with a diverse range of stakeholders.
  • Excellent organisational skills including the ability to manage time effectively, balance multiple projects with strong attention to detail.
  • Ability to think creatively, be innovative and embrace new ideas and ways of working.
