Careers

Role
Join an innovative climate research institute dedicated to advancing the understanding and application of climate risk assessments, developing innovative methodologies.

In this role, you will design and deliver integrated, next-generation frameworks to assess climate risk in real estate, evaluating acute and chronic physical hazards, energy-efficiency performance and retrofit potential, and exposure to policy and market drivers (building codes, EPCs/labels, carbon pricing). You will also assess potential mitigants such as resilience and decarbonisation measures to translate asset-specific vulnerabilities into clear financial outcomes (CapEx/OpEx, NOI, valuation, PD/LGD, and stranded-asset risk). The methodologies and tools you build will be used by corporates and investors to quantify, price, and manage climate-related risks and opportunities at both asset and portfolio level.

You will work in a collaborative and interdisciplinary environment, leveraging scientific research to deliver methodologies and outcomes that drive decision-making across industries.

Responsibilities

• Conduct advanced research on climate risk quantification for real estate assets considering the main aspects from physical to transition risk, with a large focus on policy and market risk drivers,
• Translate technical outputs into financial metrics for lenders, insurers, and asset owners.
• Design asset-specific methodologies that quantify how physical risk, energy efficiency, and retrofit options translate into asset specific risks; adapt and improve existing numerical models (e.g., CRREM, building archetype/stock models, LCA models) to local contexts and data.
• Assist integration of developed model into reproducible pipelines (versioning, documentation, and model validation/back-testing).
• Integrate EPC label datasets; evaluate data coverage/quality and propose pragmatic substitutions or calibration strategies where needed. Explore the use of additional data such as LCA/EPD.
• Collaborate with interdisciplinary teams to create innovative tools and models for climate risk assessments that address real-world challenges.
• Engage directly with financial institutions and real-estate operators to align methods with regulatory requirements and real-world workflows.
• Publish high-impact research in scientific journals and contribute to conferences, workshops, and industry forums.
• Stay informed on emerging climate policies, technological advancements, and market trends, in relation to regulations, potential applications, and quantitative methods, to incorporate them into assessments and recommendations.
• Advanced degree (PhD or Master’s + experience) in building/energy systems, environmental engineering, economics, data science, or a related field, with relevant components related to real estate and climate risks.
• 5+ years applying quantitative methods to the built environment/real estate (research, consultancy, finance, or industry).
• Proven expertise in transition-risk modelling for real estate, including Scope 1–3 GHG accounting and scenario analysis (e.g., NGFS/IEA/custom).
• Strong grasp of building physics & systems (HVAC, envelope, DHW, controls) and energy performance metrics (EUI, load profiles, EPC/labels).
• Hands-on with retrofit analysis: technical/economic feasibility, abatement cost curves, and sequencing of measures.
• Strong command of Python or similar languages to develop quantitative models and analyze complex datasets.
• Ability to translate technical outputs into financial impacts.
• Clear, concise communication for both technical and non-technical audiences; strong writing for methods notes and client materials.
• Demonstrated interdisciplinary collaboration (climate, engineering, economics, data engineering).

Role
Join an innovative research institute at a renowned business school, dedicated to advancing the understanding and reduction of climate-related risks to businesses and real assets, particularly those related to greenhouse gas emissions and to damage from extreme weather events. This is a science- and engineering-led role, going beyond traditional risk estimation, focusing on how advancements in technology can enhance sustainability and resilience across the entire lifecycle of companies. You will be responsible for identifying, quantifying, and assessing the cost and effectiveness of the best available strategies and technologies to reduce carbon emissions and weather vulnerabilities across multiple sectors, including infrastructure, real estate, fashion, construction, and industry.

The insights and tools you develop will have real-world applications, particularly for customers in the financial sector, helping them quantify and understand climate-related risks and opportunities.

You will work in a collaborative and interdisciplinary environment, leveraging scientific research to deliver methodologies and outcomes that drive decision-making into investment into long-term sustainability measures in key economic sectors.

Responsibilities

• Build and maintain a robust knowledge base of engineering and technology interventions that reduce Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions and improve resilience to physical climate risks (e.g. floods, storms, wildfires), across sectors.
• Develop and refine methodologies for accurately costing individual decarbonisation and resilience strategies, incorporating lifecycle cost-benefit analyses and financial modeling to support decision-making in infrastructure projects.
• Collaborate with interdisciplinary teams to create innovative tools and models for climate risk assessments that address real-world challenges.
• Engage with the financial sector and industry to align research outputs with customer needs and regulatory requirements.
• Publish high-impact research in scientific journals and contribute to conferences, workshops, and industry forums.
• Stay informed on emerging climate policies, technological advancements, and market trends, in particular in relation to regulations, decarbonisation and climate resilience, to incorporate them into assessments and recommendations.

Requirements

• An advanced degree in engineering, environmental sciences, supply chain management, or in a closely related technical discipline with a clear focus on decarbonisation technologies or climate adaptation in the built environment.
• Project delivery experience in infrastructure or industrial sectors — including EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction), design, or technical project management — with proven ability to assess and integrate decarbonisation and resilience solutions at the asset or system level can also be considered.
• Strong capability in evaluating the cost-effectiveness, feasibility, and performance of engineering or technological strategies to reduce Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions, and/or manage physical climate risks (e.g. heat, flood, wildfire, storm). Proven ability to conduct interdisciplinary research and develop practical applications of scientific findings.
• Problem-solving skills and the ability to work collaboratively with diverse teams.
  Communication skills, with experience presenting complex ideas to technical and non-technical audiences.
• Familiarity with lifecycle assessment, cost-benefit analysis, or techno-economic modeling, especially as applied to energy transitions, green construction materials, process efficiency, or distributed infrastructure systems.
• Familiarity with the financial sector, climate-related disclosures, carbon-accountancy, regulatory and voluntary sustainability frameworks, or market incentives is a plus.
