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.</p><p style="margin:1.6em 0px;padding:0px;border:0px;font-variant-numeric:inherit;font-variant-east-asian:inherit;font-stretch:inherit;line-height:inherit;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:14px;vertical-align:baseline;word-wrap:break-word;color:rgb(85,85,85)">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.
