Dear Colleagues,

We are hiring for a Climate Data Scientist position at McKinsey & Company in the Climate Analytics group.

Description:
You will leverage your deep knowledge of climate and earth systems as well as analytical expertise to provide insights to clients, strengthen our core client product offerings, and disseminate climate-related insights via internally and externally published articles and visualizations. You’ll spend half your time solving specific business problems on client projects (either remotely or on site) and the other half developing new, or improving upon existing, products for the climate analytics team.

Qualifications:

  *   Graduate degree in atmospheric science, meteorology, climate/earth systems science, hydrology, civil/environmental engineering, astrophysics, or similar fields. PhD/postdoc highly preferred.
  *   Experience working with climate models (e.g., CMIP5 GCMs, RCMs, etc.), ensemble analysis, uncertainty quantification
  *   Preferred modeling experience in flood/hydrological modeling, bias correction/downscaling methods, climate impact assessments
  *   Knowledge in climate risk assessment, extreme events analysis
  *   Ability to work with large, multi-dimensional data (e.g. netCDF, GRIB, TIFF files)
  *   Python knowledge, experience with xarray and knowledge of basic software engineering principles highly preferred
  *   Experience working with Linux and command line scripting and familiarity with cloud computing highly preferred
  *   Self-management skills and ability to work as part of an Agile team
  *   Strong multitasking and parallel development abilities
  *   Strong analytical and problem-solving skills paired with the ability to develop creative and efficient solutions
  *   Strong interpersonal communication skills
  *   Creative, naturally curious, and willing to take intellectual risks
  *   Able to work under competing, quickly-changing priorities, manage expectations effectively and support the team under pressure
  *   Willingness to travel up to 50% (will likely travel 20-40%) after current McKinsey COVID-related travel restrictions are lifted
