Your world of expertise

An opportunity has arisen to join the scientific leadership and management team of the Ocean, Cryosphere and Climate group (OCC).

Act as line manager for the Ocean Climate team members (approx. 6-7 scientists)
Lead the production of the Regional Ocean Climate Projections for UK government.
Contribute to the coordination, planning and delivery of ocean climate science capability with key partners both internal and external to the Met Office.
Engage and communicate with government stakeholders and partner organisations
Contribute to broader planning and strategy development of OCC and the Met Office Hadley Centre.
