[ES_JOBS_NET] Methane Remote Sensing Scientist (Oil & Gas) - Environmental Defense Fund (US or Europe Based)

[David O'Gorman]

EDF is recruiting for a Methane Remote Sensing Scientist to lead, coordinate and support methane remote sensing related projects. These scientific projects live at the intersection between methane science and policy where we can use remote sensing observations to help quantify global anthropogenic methane emissions in the oil/gas sector.



The successful candidate will work collaboratively within EDF and with our international science and policy collaborators across academia, research organizations, industry, governments and NGOs.



The role can be based remotely in the United States or in Belgium, Germany, London or Netherlands.

Methane Remote Sensing Scientist - Job Description

EDF Office of the Chief Scientist seeks a Scientist with proven research, analysis, and writing skills to work collaboratively with external and EDF scientists, as well as decision makers (governments and industry) on policy-relevant research that characterizes methane emissions from global oil and gas infrastructure using remote sensing data from existing and future satellite missions. The selected candidate will (i) lead and coordinate remote sensing related projects for methane emission quantification, (ii) help EDF stay at the cutting-edge of remote sensing tools and applications, (iii) integrate data from remote sensing and other methane measurement platforms. The Scientist will work with EDF's Office of the Chief Scientist in close collaboration with the Energy Program on projects related to methane emissions from global oil and gas infrastructure.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

  *   Lead research and analysis of satellite remote sensing data to quantify methane emissions from anthropogenic sources with a focus on oil/gas infrastructure.
  *   Coordinate and collaborate with scientists and policy experts within EDF and from academia, industry and research organizations internationally involved in remote sensing of methane emissions.
  *   Support integration of remote sensing with other methane measurement platforms (e.g. ground-based measurements, airborne measurements, emission inventories).
  *   Participate in the analysis and writing of papers in peer-reviewed journals.
  *   Support development of monitoring, reporting and verification frameworks for oil and gas methane emissions.
  *   Remain at the cutting-edge of climate science and up-to-date with the scientific literature; build and maintain relevant scientific networks.
  *   Ensure scientific accuracy of EDF generated materials.
  *   Attend and represent EDF at external meetings; interacting with scientists and the scientific community at large.
  *   Independently support other "rapid response" and/or project development efforts on an as-needed basis.
  *   Advance EDF DEIJ goals in which people from all backgrounds and experiences feel connected, included, and empowered to address the environmental challenges we face. This includes fostering equitable systems and empowering diverse constituencies both internally and externally.
  *   Willingness to travel.
REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

  *   A PhD in Atmospheric Science, Earth Systems Science, Remote Sensing or related disciplines (e.g., atmospheric chemistry).
  *   One or more years of post-PhD relevant experience.
  *   Experience with greenhouse gas remote sensing techniques and data analysis.
  *   Strong quantitative analysis skills and proficiency in statistical analysis;.
  *   Demonstrated scientific expertise, including but not limited to a record of scholarly publications and/or involvement in scientific panels.
  *   Excellent written and oral communication skills in English.
  *   Initiates and maintains extensive contacts within the scientific community.
  *   Ability to synthesize, interpret, and communicate scientific data in an advocacy setting and for non-scientific populations.
  *   Exceptional personal organization and attention to detail; ability to work independently and as part of a diverse, geographically dispersed team.
  *   Experience in performing rigorous analysis with short deadlines in support of highly visible work.
  *   The ability to communicate complex ideas in writing and orally to multiple stakeholders with different levels of expertise, including the public and industry.
  *   Demonstrates self-awareness, cultural competency and inclusivity, and ability to work with colleagues and stakeholders across diverse cultures and backgrounds.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

  *   Experience quantifying Methane emissions from oil/gas related infrastructure using remote sensing.
  *   Understanding of atmospheric modeling and/or inverse modeling
  *   Knowledge about environmental issues associated with the oil and gas industry, especially air emissions;
  *   Familiarity with emission inventories.
  *   Working proficiency in a language in addition to English is a plus
