Hoffmann Fellow: Post-Doctoral Position in AI and Climate Risk

The Centre for Climate Engagement at Hughes Hall is partnering with the Department of Computer Science and Technology to explore the role of machine learning in supporting the ability of companies and investors to accurately assess and quantify the business risks of climate change. The aims of this partnership are aligned with the Hoffmann Fellowship Programme at the World Economic Forum and match funding for this post will be available.

Both positions will be expected to focus on the application of the specialist legal discipline to climate change. Both positions can extend up to three years, subject to successful probation of twelve months. The applicants will have expertise in their respective fields of law and an enthusiasm for their application to climate law, but need not have detailed knowledge of climate law itself.
