Job opening – Data Lead: Net Zero Tracker (NOW CLOSED)

Sep 11, 2024

Please note that this opportunity is now closed. 

This is an exciting opportunity to be at the heart of the project providing crucial data for assessing net zero commitments around the world – https://www.zerotracker.net. The Net Zero Tracker is built on the dedicated and organised effort of over 200 volunteer coders in Oxford University and around the world. As well as the data being available on an open-source and real-time basis on the website, the Tracker team publishes in-depth analysis throughout the year and annual stocktake reports.

The Data Lead will maintain and develop the Tracker database by contributing their own analytical skills as well as organising and guiding the team of project volunteers. They will also collaborate with project partners (from the Energy & Climate Intelligence Unit, New Climate Institute and Data-Driven EnviroLab) and report to the Oxford-based Co-Investigators (Thomas Hale and Steve Smith). As a key expert in the Tracker data, they will help steer the project direction, as well as commenting on and helping draft reports for publication. They will participate in regular virtual meetings with the wider project consortium.

Applications must be made through the central University of Oxford jobs website. Click here for more information, a detailed job description and to apply. The application deadline is 12pm BST on Friday, 11 October 2024. If you have any questions, please email recruit@ouce.ox.ac.uk.
