Teddington, Greater London, United Kingdom National Physical Laboratory Full time
About the Role

We are seeking a highly skilled and experienced Principal Scientist to lead our Climate and Earth Observation group. As a world leader in metrological traceability, quality assurance, and fitness-for-purpose assessments of Earth Observation data, we are looking for someone to drive forward a programme of research that strategically leverages our expertise to bridge the gap between climate modelling and Earth Observation communities.

Your Key Responsibilities
  • Develop and lead a team of scientists at the interface of Earth Observation and climate models for climate relevant science, grounded in the application of metrological principles.
  • Combine your interpersonal and analytical skills to engage internal and external stakeholders to identify and secure opportunities for novel work, promoting the value of metrology and EO data within the climate modelling community.
  • Use your skills in leadership and research design to guide the team and align the programme with NPL's strategy.
About You

We are looking for a proven scientific leader with expertise in climate modelling and a clear vision for their technical area, its application, and impact to address national and international climate challenges. You will need to be a world-class expert in your field, with experience of motivating a team to do better, and have the commercial awareness to help us achieve our ambitions.

At NPL, we learn from each other, respect each other, and work together to do better. For ourselves and for our customers. We are looking for someone who will thrive in an environment like ours, where we are always looking to stretch beyond what we know, but don't make things more complicated when there's no need.
