The Cyprus Institute (CyI) is a European non-profit Science and Technology oriented Educational and Research Institution based in Cyprus and led by an acclaimed Board of Trustees.

A strong interaction with the climate change impact community is expected for sectors such as human health, energy, water resources, etc. This research will also contribute to the PREVENT Horizon Europe project (“Improved predictability of extremes over the Mediterranean from seasonal to decadal timescales”).
The initial period of the appointment will be for a duration of 24 months with the possibility of renewal, depending on performance and availability of funds.
