If so, this internship is an excellent opportunity to combine your research-oriented mindset and technical skills to make a meaningful impact in climate science.
We are looking for an enthusiastic Data Science Intern specializing in climate modeling, with a particular focus on hurricanes, cyclones, forest fires, and coastal flooding. This role is designed for individuals who want to expand their knowledge, contribute to climate research, and enhance their hands-on experience with cutting-edge tools and datasets.

What we're looking for?

Strong Fundamentals in Climate Science
  • A solid understanding of climate systems, the science behind climate change, and its impacts.
  • Familiarity with key climate datasets and tools.
Research-Oriented Mindset
  • An eagerness to explore, question, and analyze climate phenomena.
  • Enthusiasm for studying extreme events like hurricanes, cyclones, forest fires, and coastal flooding, along with their implications for our environment.
Technical Skills
  • Proficiency in Python and R for data analysis, modeling, and visualization.
  • Hands-on experience with GIS tools like ArcPy (preferred) or other spatial analysis software.
  • A basic understanding of machine learning concepts and statistical methods (good to have but not mandatory).
Understanding of Climate Models
  • Familiarity with different types of climate models used for simulating hurricanes, cyclones, forest fires, and coastal flooding.
  • While deep expertise is not expected, a basic awareness of how these models work and their role in predicting extreme events is required.

Key Responsibilities

  • Analyze and process climate datasets to extract meaningful insights.
  • Work on modeling projects related to hurricanes, cyclones, forest fires, and coastal flooding, focusing on data visualization and interpretation.
  • Collaborate with the team to understand and utilize various climate models.
  • Perform spatial and temporal analysis of climate data using tools like Python, R, and GIS.
  • Support research efforts to assess the impacts of climate change on extreme weather and natural hazard patterns.
  • Contribute to documentation and present findings in an organized and meaningful way.

Who Should Apply?

We are seeking candidates who are:

  • Passionate about climate science, especially extreme weather events and natural hazards such as hurricanes, cyclones, forest fires, and coastal flooding and other disasters.
  • Curious, research-oriented, and excited to learn about climate models.
  • Technically strong with Python and R programming skills and open to exploring GIS tools like ArcPy.
  • Currently pursuing Masters in Atmospheric\Climate\Environmental Sciences\Geosciences and related fields.
  • Team players with a collaborative mindset and strong communication skills.

Why Join Us?

  • Gain hands-on experience in the rapidly growing field of climate modeling and research.
  • Work alongside experts on projects that address real-world climate challenges.
  • Enhance your technical skills with programming, data analysis, and GIS tools.
  • Develop a deeper understanding of climate models, particularly those used for simulating hurricanes, cyclones, forest fires, and coastal flooding.
  • Be part of a team that values curiosity, innovation, and the desire to make a positive impact on the planet.

Good to Have

  • A basic understanding of machine learning and statistics to enhance modeling approaches.
  • Prior exposure to climate datasets such as CMIP, reanalysis data, or similar sources.

Duration and Location

  • Internship duration will be discussed based on your availability.
  • Location: Remote in U.S. and INDIA
