Job description

The UN Environment Programme’s International Methane Emissions Observatory (IMEO) is a data-driven, action-focused initiative that drives deep reductions in methane emissions– the second biggest contributor to global climate change and a key opportunity to reduce warming in the near-term. IMEO’s mission is to provide the open, reliable, and actionable methane data needed to cut emissions at the speed and scale necessary to achieve the Paris Agreement goals.

To do this, IMEO is harnessing a methane data revolution under way thanks to rapidly advancing technology and momentum for methane action. IMEO collects, integrates, and reconciles data from methane-detecting satellites, scientific measurement studies, rigorous industry reporting through the Oil and Gas Methane Partnership 2.0 (OGMP 2.0), and national emissions inventories. These initiatives are game-changers for climate action – and as a core implementing partner of the Global Methane Pledge, IMEO is shaping the future of methane mitigation. The main goal of IMEO’s science studies has been reducing the uncertainty in magnitude and location of methane emissions. While initially focusing on emissions from the oil and gas sector, ongoing projects are quickly expanding efforts across other sectors such as coal and waste.

IMEO seeks a post-doctoral science fellow that will work on collecting and analyzing field measurement data from fossil fuel related emission sources. The consultant will work with IMEO’s science team, focusing especially on the measurement campaigns. This work will be supplemented with other duties as time allows which may include (but not limited to) contributing scientific writing to reports, reviewing scientific proposals for funding and assisting in developing the methane science direction at IMEO.
