[ES_JOBS_NET] Senior Director and Improved Forecasts Lead, Human-Centered Weather Forecast Initiative, UChicago

[Mauricio Ortiz-Riomalo]

Hi everyone,

The Development Innovation Lab (DIL) at the University of Chicago is
working with partners to generate and disseminate weather forecasts at
scale in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), building on evidence
that the benefits of procuring and delivering forecasts outweigh the costs
by orders of magnitude. We are also setting up a new program to leverage
the power of AI to democratize access to forecasts in LMICs.

We are looking to hire two exciting roles to support these efforts:

   -

   Senior Director: The Senior Director will lead the Human-Centered
   Weather Forecasts initiative, a new interdisciplinary UChicago initiative
   that aims to transform access to high-quality weather forecasts in LMICs.
   The Senior Director will spearhead fundraising efforts to establish a
   long-term program, develop and execute a strategic plan, and build
   relationships with high-level policymakers, funders, nonprofit leaders, and
   business executives on the global stage. Apply here

   December 4.
   -

   Improved Weather Lead: The Improved Weather Lead will manage efforts to
   disseminate high-quality forecasts to hundreds of millions of farmers in
   partnership with multilateral development banks. The Lead will also manage
   a training program to generate AI-based weather forecasts in LMICs and
   coordinate research efforts. Apply here
   <https://uchicago.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/External/job/Improved-Forecasts-Lead_JR26497>
   by November 24.

This is a great opportunity for senior and mid-career professionals to help
scale a climate adaptation tool that can benefit millions of smallholder
farmers. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis.

Best,

Mauricio Ortiz-Riomalo
