Project Context and Scope

The Climate Mobility Innovation Lab (CMIL), hosted by the International Organization for Migration (IOM), was established to address the nexus between human mobility and climate change. The Lab fosters innovation and partnerships to tackle the complex challenges posed by climate change and human mobility across the Mediterranean, Africa, Asia-Pacific and beyond.

Central to this work is the Risk Index for Climate Displacement (RICD), an operational foresight tool that enhances understanding of climate-induced displacement dynamics — including its drivers, triggers, and tipping points. The RICD supports the identification of current and future displacement hotspots and trends, providing actionable insights for policymakers and investors.

To support the rollout and continuous improvement of the RICD globally, IOM is seeking a CMIL Climate Data and Risk Analyst. The Analyst will contribute to the technical development and refinement of the RICD, with hands-on responsibility for data sourcing, processing, quality improvement, and model review. Working under the guidance of the Head of CMIL and in close coordination with CMIL technical counterparts globally, the Analyst will serve as a core technical resource across CMIL analytical workstreams.
