职位描述
UN Environment Programme hosts the International Methane Emissions Observatory (IMEO). IMEO is a data-driven, action-focused UNEP initiative that takes an innovative approach to address the methane emissions problem by collecting, integrating, and reconciling data from different sources, including scientific measurement studies, satellites, rigorous industry reporting through the Oil and Gas Methane Partnership 2.0 (OGMP 2.0), and national inventories. IMEO will create a global public dataset of empirically verified methane emissions, with an initial focus on fossil fuel sources and will interconnect data with actions on research, reporting, and regulation. This will catalyse deep reductions in human-made methane emissions and serve the rapidly growing ecosystem of governments, companies, investors, researchers, NGOs and other entities engaging in this crucial climate challenge. IMEO seeks a Early career research data specialist that will work on the intake of various scientific studies to the IMEO data platform. The work will include reading and interpreting recently published (and potentially older) scientific literature of various methane science disciplines (e.g., remote sensing, source and site-level measurement campaigns, inventories), summarizing study parameters, techniques, and major results into a pre-formatted database. The specialist will also provide feedback on the structure of the database, suggesting changes to make interpretation more straightforward. The work will not only be focused on the oil and gas sector but also on the other methane emitting sectors. The IMEO data entry specialist will support the creation of the Methane Science Study database to improve our understanding of anthropogenic emission sources and to contribute to closing the knowledge gap on and where methane is being emitted across the planet and tracking progress over time.
BA or BS in atmospheric sciences, engineering, geology or a related field. Relevant work/research experience on science related to atmospheric greenhouse gases (GHG). Familiarity with scientific literature in the field of atmospheric sciences or related. Familiarity with emissions inventories, and knowledge of measurement-based methane emissions data is preferred. Experience with data compilation and/or databases preferred One or more years of relevant study or work experience
Be fluent in written and spoken English. Other languages are an asset.
