Climate scientist

Climate scientists study the Earth's climate system and how it is changing. The work is research-intensive: developing and running climate models, analysing large observational datasets, formulating and testing hypotheses, and interpreting uncertainty to advance understanding of climate and its impacts.

They work in universities, research institutes, and agencies. The role suits mathematically and scientifically strong people who enjoy deep, long-term research, can work with vast and complex data, and are motivated to understand one of the most consequential scientific questions of our time.
