The internship duration is approximately 3 months.

 

Job Responsibilities

1. Investigate the exposure and vulnerability of systems to environmental stressors.
2. Conduct background research to understand failure modes and risk propagation in physical infrastructure.
3. Analyze historical event data to inform probabilistic or classification-based risk models.
4. Define and compute meaningful metrics that characterize risk or resilience.
5. Collaborate with researchers working on climate forecast models to support integrated risk assessment.
6. Contribute to scientific publications, presentations, and documentation as needed.

 

Requirements

1. Currently enrolled in a Master's or PhD program in a field related to Civil Engineering, Structural Engineering, Risk Modeling, or Environmental Science.
2. Experience with probabilistic modeling, uncertainty quantification, or resilience analysis.
3. Proficiency in scientific programming (e.g., Python, R, or MATLAB).
4. Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to collaborate across disciplines.
5. Familiarity with environmental or infrastructure datasets is a plus.
