Job Description

We re seeking a technically grounded and impact-driven professional to lead our climate risk analytics and modelling work, with a focus on Heat Mapping and Risk Analysis. The role calls for a blend of scientific rigour, spatial insight, and policy understanding, translating high-resolution climate and socio-economic data into actionable risk intelligence for national and city-level decision-makers.

Responsibilities

  • Lead the design and implementation of national- and city-scale heat risk mapping and analysis frameworks, aligned with IPCC AR6 methodologies and tailored to India s rapidly urbanising regions.
  • Oversee climate data processing and analysis, and develop compound and cascading risk models that integrate heat, flood, and drought interactions using statistical and machine learning approaches.
  • Guide spatial analysis and GIS-based mapping of hazards, exposure, and vulnerability for integration into interactive dashboards and decision-support tools.
  • Ensure scientific accuracy and policy relevance by providing technical oversight for data-driven visualisation platforms.
  • Collaborate with national and state agencies to embed risk analytics into planning and policy decision-making processes.
  • Develop research publications, policy briefs, and presentations that enhance CSTEP s thought leadership in climate and disaster risk domains.
  • Mentor analysts and senior analysts, contribute to proposal development and fundraising, and support capacity-building initiatives with government and civil society partners.

Qualifications

PhD or Master s degree in Climate Science, Atmospheric Science, Environmental Engineering, Geography, or Geoinformatics, with specialisation in heat stress, urban climatology, or multi-hazard risk modelling.

Experience

6 10 years of post-qualification experience in climate risk analysis, heat modelling, or adaptation planning, preferably within applied research or policy environments.

Skill Set

  • Proven track record of working with interdisciplinary teams, publishing in peer-reviewed journals, and engaging with government or donor-led climate initiatives.
  • Experience in urban heat island analysis, hazard exposure vulnerability assessments, or the development of climate service tools is preferred.
  • Proficiency in data analytics and programming (Python, R, etc.) for statistical and spatial modelling; hands-on experience with QGIS/ArcGIS Pro and Power BI/Tableau.
  • Strong familiarity with climate datasets (IMD, CMIP6, ERA5, MODIS, and CORDEX) and geospatial data processing workflows.
  • Excellent analytical, mentoring, and communication skills.
  • Ability to translate complex scientific evidence into actionable insights, strategies, and tools for policymakers.
