Linkages*

The Burney Research Group at the School of Global Policy & Strategy at UC
San Diego is looking for enthusiastic and dedicated undergraduate students
as part of a multi-institutional project
<https://nsf.gov/awardsearch/showAward?AWD_ID=1715557> exploring the
coupled climate and air quality impacts of long-lived greenhouse gases
versus short-lived air pollutants using global climate models. The
researchers are expected to conduct 10 weeks of full-time research between
the months of May and October. Start and end date can be flexible to
accommodate quarter or semester schedules or housing needs. Compensation
includes a $5000 stipend and a $1040 allowance for travel to a domestic
scientific conference. On-campus housing may be available at additional
cost.

The summer researchers 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 interns will be supervised by Dr. Jennifer Burney
<http://www.jaburney.com/> and will be based at the School of Global Policy
& Strategy at the University of California San Diego. They will have the
opportunity to participate in group activities at GPS, as well as to attend
seminars and events at GPS and on the UCSD campus. More information on the
research group can be found at http://www.jaburney.com/.
