I would like to bring to your attention the following research assistant 
vacancy and kindly request you to share with your colleagues and to those who 
you think might be interested to apply.
________________________________
The Institute and Faculty of Actuaries (IFoA) is seeking to appoint a Research 
Assistant for a short term project to assist members of the IFoA’s Resource and 
Environment Board (REB) in investigating the feasibility of extending the 
Actuaries Climate Index (ACI) to the UK and rest of Europe. Members of the REB 
have formed a scoping group for the duration of this project and the successful 
candidate will work alongside the members of the group.

Under the guidance of the Scoping and Review Group the duties of the research 
assistant will be to:

·         analyse historical data availability in order to determine for which 
parts of Europe it is feasible to calculate the ACI.

·         identify benefits and limitations of the ACI

·         draft the report on the feasibility study.

It is anticipated that the project will require 80 hours of research work over 
a period of six weeks.
