**JOB DESCRIPTION**
Carbon markets can support both private sector and governments’ efforts to reduce or avoid greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and contribute to reaching the goals of the Paris Agreement in an effective way while providing various benefits to multiple stakeholders. Among other things, well-functioning carbon markets can lower the costs of emissions reductions/avoidance, support the transfer of clean technologies and finance, and unlock higher mitigation ambition over time. With the finalization of the ‘rulebook’ for Article 6 of the Paris Agreement at the 2021 UN Climate Change Conference in Glasgow, carbon markets worldwide are transitioning to the post-2020 era. Interest in both compliance and voluntary carbon markets, at domestic and international levels, is rising rapidly.
Many countries in the Arab region, including Saudi Arabia, have expressed an interest in their Paris Agreement nationally determined contributions (NDCs) in participating in voluntary international carbon market cooperation under Article 6. Leveraging the full potential of international carbon markets will require both establishing new - and considerably strengthening existing - domestic institutional mechanisms and processes, and a robust understanding of related options, risks, and opportunities.
KAPSARC has recently launched a research project on Carbon Markets and Paris Agreement Article 6, which aims to support Saudi Arabia’s participation and engagement with domestic and international carbon markets through conducting empirical, evidence-based and policy-oriented research and analysis. The project will generate knowledge and improve understanding of carbon market-related challenges and opportunities in Saudi Arabia and the broader Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region.
**Responsibilities**:
- Conducting rigorous and high-quality research and analysis, and delivering tailored advisory services for KAPSARC’s stakeholders.
- Authoring, co-authoring and contributing to various KAPSARC research and analysis outputs, including research papers, advisory deliverables and workshop/other event presentations.
- Disseminating research through effective communication approaches that meet the needs of different audiences and maximize the impact of KAPSARC’s work.
- Contributing to, and delivering, presentations at meetings, workshops and conferences.
- Participating actively in project-related activities, including meetings and workshops, and contributing to building a network of experts relevant to the field. Contributing to, and leading on, various project management-related tasks.
- Identifying new research questions, topics and opportunities in the fields of climate change and sustainable development that are relevant for Saudi Arabia and the GCC.
- Engaging in continued professional development activities, proactively seeking opportunities to build and develop carbon market-relevant research and analysis skills
**Competencies**:
- Good experience in conducting Life Cycle Assessments. Preferably on energy technologies, critical minerals and built environment materials.
- Strong quantitative and technical background with an excellent aptitude for analytical thinking.
- Natural curiosity to investigate issues, conduct research, design solutions, and translate results into operational practices.
- Strong analytical capabilities with an experience in the area of life cycle energy and climate
- Persistent and structured attitude in dealing with data and working with different tools.
- Aptitude for learning new software—ideally will have strong programming experience.
- Knowledge and passion for life cycle thinking, environmental systems, climate change policy and regulation, and preferably familiarity with economic climate policy instruments at domestic and international levels.
- Ability to develop optimization and life cycle models analyzing advanced climate technologies and energy and transportation systems of the future
- Experience conducting policy-oriented research to support evidence-based, data-driven public policy; familiarity with international best practices in academic and policy-oriented research and publishing.
- Ability to draft high-quality analytical and evidence-based policy-relevant papers in a style that is clear, concise, logical and well-structured; experience with authoring peer-reviewed publications.
- Solid verbal communication skills and ability to disseminate research through effective communication approaches that meet the needs of different audiences and maximize the impact of KAPSARC’s work.
- Enthusiastic team player and adaptive to organizational changes.
**Qualifications**:
- A Ph.D. in a relevant discipline, or a relevant master’s degree plus experience equivalent to a Ph.D. level.
- Professional experience working in an area of relevance to carbon markets, preferably within a research organization, government, or an international organization.
