• A 1st or 2.1 degree in a relevant subject (e.g. mathematics, natural sciences, economics, or geography), plus mostly A*s and As at A-level (or equivalent)
• Excellent Python coding skills - developing substantial well-structured programs rather than ad-hoc scripts.
• Experience or proven interest in applying mathematical modelling or data science techniques to areas such as climate or environmental prediction.
• Full, existing, and unrestricted right to work in the UK
