**Program Overview**- WRI's air quality program is a global initiative that seeks to identify, build awareness of, and eliminate the root causes of air pollution that damages climate, human, and ecosystem health. The program has three main areas of work: (i) engagement with city stakeholders to use participatory science to diagnose and develop targeted, cost-effective clean air solutions to protect human health and climate, (ii) working with the science community to convert innovative methods into tools and products that communities and policymakers can use to better manage their impact on the atmosphere, and (iii) working with national governments and business networks to design and implement broader regional-to-global air quality governance. It is a part of the WRI Ross Center on Sustainable Cities, with additional oversight from the Data Lab and engagement with Climate, Governance, Energy, and other programs at WRI. The team is global, with senior experts distributed across WRI's network of international officesClean Air Catalyst- WRI Indonesia air quality program is growing along with the new USAID-funded program called "Clean Air Catalyst ", which will be implemented by a global consortium that WRI is leading with EDF and other partners. The consortium includes six additional partners: Clean Air Toolbox for Cities (Columbia University), Climate and Clean Air Coalition, Internews Network, MAP-AQ, OpenAQ, and Vital Strategies. The program will work in three pilot regions with WRI international offices and local partners to test and refine a three-part data to action methodology for improving air quality and delivering climate co-benefits. We plan to work with local partners in three pilot regions - one of which is Jakarta, Indonesia - to test and refine a three-part data to action methodology for improving air quality and delivering climate co-benefits.**Southeast** Asia (SEA) Air Quality Community of Practice**- SEA Air Quality Community of Practice is part of Air Quality Program at the WRI Ross Center for Sustainable Cities. It is coordinated by WRI Mexico in collaboration with WRI Africa and is the first pilot in Latin America with an intersection with a project in Africa. The objective is to disseminate, share and promote best practices for the generation and use of data and tools for air quality management and climate change mitigation through a specialized community of practice through a series of technical seminars (Tech talks). This community is addressed to technical teams, government authorities from cities in Latin America and Africa, and specialists interested in the topics. As context, in 2020 and 2021, the CityAQ project was piloted to provide participating cities with station-level, bias-adjusted air quality forecasts to anticipate air quality events, communicate with stakeholders and more effectively manage local interventions. The new phase of this project funded by Clean Air Fund and UNEP science is called CanAIRy Alert aiming to include air quality data from low-cost sensor networks to produce bias corrected station level forecast for 4 cities in Africa (Nairobi, Kampala, Kigali and Accra).The outcomes of this initiative consist of: (1) strengthened knowledge, technical capacity, and a network for air quality experts, practitioners, and stakeholders in the context of air quality awareness, monitoring, modeling, and management in the three focused countries within Southeast Asia; (2) cross-border sharing of experience on air quality management and (3) guidance on the use of already available and successfully implemented tools for enhanced action on clean air solutions by stakeholders. This initiative include Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines as the main beneficiaries at the country level, while the secondary beneficiaries include other Southeast Asia countries, for example, Thailand, Laos, and Vietnam.**Job Highlight**- The Air Quality and Climate Research Analyst will support the CAC and Community of Practice projects while bringing up climate perspective within research activities. Research works that falls within the responsibilities of this position apart from the general research works is including but not limited to producing writing report, concept notes, technical notes, and other knowledge product.Under the supervision of Project Manager for Air Quality, the research analyst will work closely and collaboratively with the local and global science teams for research plan, data collection, analysis and coordination. This position based in Jakarta with office-flex working arrangements with possibility of doing travel when needed.**What You Will Do****Research and Knowledge (70%)**- Providing robust and unbiased research on climate and air quality, particularly on the short-lived climate pollutant (SLCP). The research activities may cover but not limited to emission inventories, source apportionment, etc.- Work with other research teams in construc
