[ES_JOBS_NET] Summer Undergrad Internship -- Stanford, CA: Global Climate Modeling & Climate-Air Quality Linkages

[Geeta Persad]

*Summer Undergraduate Internship: Analyzing Global Climate Model Data to
Understand Climate-Air Quality Linkages*



Carnegie Energy Innovation at the Carnegie Institution for Science’s Department
of Global Ecology <https://dge.carnegiescience.edu/> on the Stanford
University campus is looking for an enthusiastic and dedicated
undergraduate student as part of a multi-institutional project
<https://nsf.gov/awardsearch/showAward?AWD_ID=1715557> to look at the
coupled climate and air quality impacts of long-lived versus short-lived
air pollutants using global climate models. The researcher will be expected
to conduct 10 weeks of full-time research between the months of May and
September. Start and end date can be flexible to accommodate quarter or
semester schedules. Compensation includes a $5,000 stipend and a $1040
allowance for travel to a domestic scientific conference.



The summer researcher will process, analyze, and visualize global climate
model output related to the role that short-lived air pollutants play in
the climate and air quality of several major economies. Internship
activities will include developing computer code to process climate model
data; visualizing and analyzing climate model results; preparing scientific
presentations; and carefully documenting all processing and analysis.

The intern will be supervised by Dr. Geeta Persad <http://www.ggpersad.com/>
and will be based at the Carnegie Institution’s Department of Global
Ecology (DGE) in Stanford, California. S/he will have the opportunity to
participate in group activities in the Caldeira Lab at DGE, as well as to
attend seminars and events at DGE and on the Stanford University campus.
More information on the Caldeira Lab can be found at
http://carnegieenergyinnovation.org/.



Candidates must be currently enrolled in a United States university as an
undergraduate student and must have completed their freshman year of study.
As a requirement of the funding source, candidates must be U.S. citizens
and must have an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN), or a
