The Technical Support Unit (TSU)
The TSU works at the unique IPCC interface between science and policy in the provision of the climate knowledge and information that is relevant for policy needs and decision making. The team is responsible for facilitating and implementing the assessment process undertaken by the author teams and overseen by the WGI Bureau. We are seeking someone who is highly motivated to join a team that spans different areas of expertise including climate sciences (observations, climate processes, global and regional climate modeling), visual design and communication, digital information development and management, and international project management. The team is hosted by Université Paris-Saclay and located in the facilities of Ecole normale supérieure (ENS) Paris-Saclay in the Paris area.
Role
The TSU is seeking a climate science communications specialist to join a multi-disciplinary team in a dynamic, international working environment. The Communication Officer will work closely with our Information Design and Graphics Officer and in close collaboration with the IPCC Communications Action Team. The successful candidate will coordinate, with the WGI Co-Chairs, Vice-Chairs, Authors and TSU, the communication and outreach of the WGI contribution to the AR7. He/she will take on the challenge of communicating and increasing literacy of the concepts and results of the assessment in an international context to stakeholders, as well as the broader non-specialist audience.
