Key responsibilities: 


Devise the strategy for the integration of methane emission data from field measurements, satellite remote sensing, emission inventories, and company reporting to be approved by the IMEO SOC.
Establish and maintain deep expertise in the technical aspects of the various empirical and non-empirical methane data sources relevant for IMEO’s data integration.
Provide thought leadership on the synthesis, organization, and communication of highly heterogenous data streams with the aim to provide policy-relevant and actionable data products for use in effective policy formulation and emissions mitigation.
Coordinate and collaborate with scientists and policy experts within IMEO and from academia, industry, and research organizations internationally regarding their data collection efforts and data needs.
Coordinate with IMEO’s  management to determine the internal and public data integration outputs over time in alignment with IMEO’s data vision. 
Coordinate with IMEO’s internal data architecture and data visualization teams to communicate the scope, priorities, and availability of data outputs for public sharing vs. internal use, and to convert the data integration outputs into public-facing data products.
Support internal and external efforts to integrate IMEO’s synthesized data into national inventories.
Provide high-level advisory to the Methane Science Studies team to enhance the studies’ alignment with IMEO’s data integration strategy, and to maintain regular exchange on new developments in methane science.
Provide scientific advice to the OGMP2.0 analytics team to align OGMP2.0 data products with the state of the art in empirical methane data collection.
Lead and participate in the analysis and writing of papers in peer-reviewed journals.
Support data user seminars and capacity-building initiatives designed for diverse stakeholders.
Remain at the cutting edge of methane science and up-to-date with the scientific literature; build and maintain relevant scientific networks.
Support "rapid response" and/or project development efforts on an as-needed basis.
