SENIOR SCIENTIST – MODEL VALIDATION

SENIOR SCIENTIST – MODEL VALIDATION The Risk Analytics and Climate Services Department is a multi-disciplinary team of experts committed to providing innovative, science-based solutions for actions to adapt to climate change and mitigate the impacts of disasters. The innovations include uses of geospatial technology, satellite data, numerical models, cloud computing, and artificial intelligence for assessing vulnerability and risk, generating climate data, developing early warning systems, forecasting possible climate impact, and informing anticipatory actions. These lead to risk-informed developments in the sectors such as agriculture, transportation, water resources, energy, communications and health.The department also applies advanced geoinformatics and climate analytics to address water and food security issues by assessing water availability and water-use efficiency, groundwater monitoring, assessing drought risks, and optimizing agricultural productivity, hence ensuring sustainable water and food systems in vulnerable regions. The department promotes Nature-Based Solutions by leveraging ecosystem services such as wetland restoration, agroforestry, and green-gray infrastructure to reduce disaster risks and build climate resilience. Lastly, the department produces risk analytics and integrates them into urban plans and engineering designs of critical infrastructures, hence improving their resilience to disasters and climate change. With a commitment to science-based approach, the department envisions empowering stakeholders to reduce risks, adapt to climate change, and build more resilient communities and ecosystems.Under the project SERVIR Southeast Asia (SERVIR SEA), ADPC utilizes advanced technology including satellite Earth Observation data, geospatial models and analytics, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) for developing practical and accessible solutions for Southeast Asia. The applications of the advanced technologies required extensive validations of the assumptions and results produced, assessments of the accuracy of the outputs, and transfers of the knowledge to the people in Southeast Asia, including ADPC staff. To address these specific demands, ADPC seeks part-time Senior Machine Learning Specialist to work closely with the ADPC team on the above-mentioned tasks. Closing date: Sunday, July 12, 2026
