<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman"">Carnegie Energy Innovation at the Carnegie Institution for
Science’s <a href="https://dge.carnegiescience.edu/">Department of Global Ecology</a> on the Stanford University campus is
looking for an enthusiastic and dedicated undergraduate student as part of <a href="https://nsf.gov/awardsearch/showAward?AWD_ID=1715557" style="color:blue">a
multi-institutional project</a> 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. </p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 12pt;line-height:15pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman"">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. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 12pt;line-height:15pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman"">The intern will be
supervised by <a href="http://www.ggpersad.com/" style="color:blue">Dr. Geeta Persad</a> 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 <a href="http://carnegieenergyinnovation.org/" style="color:blue">http://carnegieenergyinnovation.org/</a>.
