Job description
The Smarter Energy and Environmental Sciences Department of the IBM 
Thomas J. Watson Research Center in Yorktown Heights, NY is seeking a 
summer intern to join a multi-disciplinary team focused on meteorology. 
The team has an atmosphere in which basic research is combined with 
experience on technical problems arising in industry.

The IBM Research Division is the largest industrial research 
organization in the world with 12 labs worldwide, doing work in a broad 
range of disciplines in the physical, mathematical, computer and life 
sciences and related engineering fields. Its headquarters is at the IBM 
Thomas J. Watson Research Center in Yorktown Heights, NY. For more 
information about IBM Research, please visit http://www.research.ibm.com.

The candidate will work on current projects focused on decision support 
applications of meteorology in energy. The successful candidate will 
work with the extant team to improve and maintain operational 
capabilities, and develop and incorporate new techniques that are part 
of an end-to-end solution, especially with renewable generation and 
distribution operations, including emergency planning for and response 
to severe weather. In that context, the candidate would contribute to 
and leverage both observing and modelling systems, including operational 
local-scale forecasting. The successful candidate will work with the 
extant team to improve and maintain current capabilities, and develop 
and incorporate new techniques. Such a candidate should have proven 
communication skills and a desire to see new technology applied in 
real-world situations. A successful candidate will interact with the 
scientific and business personnel at IBM as well as collaborators 
outside of IBM, participate and make presentations on their work and 
publish results. While it is expected that the candidate will have 
skills in working with a team, the ability to work independently is also 
required.

The candidate should be familiar with the scientific use of modern, 
non-hydrostatic numerical weather prediction codes such as WRF-ARW and 
the utilization of surface and upper-air measurements as well as 
satellite and radar observations. Experience with applications in the 
utility industry is desired as well as experience with operational 
forecasting.

Academic Requirements: The candidate should be in a Masters or Ph.D. 
program in atmospheric or related sciences or in a Bachelor's program 
with extensive operational and/or programming experience.

Desired Computing Skills: Proven meteorological computing skills in a 
Linux environment, scripting (e.g., shell, perl, python), and C/C++ or 
FORTRAN programming as well use of appropriate development environments, 
and data formats/structures (e.g., netCDF, GriB), visualization, 
graphics and image processing (e.g., OpenDX, GEMPAK, GrADS, ImageMagick, 
R, NCL, Matlab, RIP), statistical analysis tools (e.g., MET, R), version 
control system for software development (e.g., git), and 
high-performance parallel (cluster) computing environment (e.g., Linux 
clusters)
Required

  * Bachelor's Degree
  * English: Intermediate

Preferred

  * Master's Degree in Other Sciences
  * At least 1 year experience in meteorological computing skills in a
    Linux environment, scripting (e.g., shell, perl, python)
  * At least 1 year experience in C/C++ or Fortran programming
  * At least 1 year experience in the use of appropriate development
    environments, and data formats/structures (e.g., netCDF, GriB)
  * At least 1 year experience in high-performance parallel (cluster)
    computing environment (e.g., Linux clusters)
  * At least 1 year experience in visualization, graphics and image
    processing (e.g., OpenDX, GEMPAK, GrADS, ImageMagick, R, NCL,
    Matlab, RIP)
  * At least 1 year experience in statistical analysis tools (e.g., MET,
    R), version control system for software development (e.g., git)
  * English : Fluent
