The Environment Analytics research group (environmentanalytics.com) is looking to hire one or two undergraduate research assistants to work on projects in winter weather, marine weather, and forecast model verification. Projects involve the processing and analysis of several types of weather observation data sets from ground-based, airborne, and satellite sensors as well as forecast model output from global and regional models. Research methods include cloud-computing, databases, and machine learning. Work is funded by the National Science Foundation, NASA, and the Office of Naval Research. Research will be supervised by Dr. Sandra Yuter and Dr. Matthew Miller.
Requirements: Science, technology, engineering or math major of at least sophomore standing with a G.P.A. > 3.3
When: Positions start in Fall semester 2021.
Pay: Starting pay will be ≥$10/hour depending on experience.
Hours: 10 hours per week during the academic semester and up to 40 hours per week during the summer.
Requirements:
- Programming ability and experience with Matlab and/or Python
- Some experience working in a Linux environment
- Interest in learning fundamentals of meteorology
- Ability to work independently, think critically, and contribute new ideas to the project
How to Apply: Interested students should prepare the following 3 documents for their application: 1) résumé, 2) unofficial transcript, and 3) a flowchart or pseudocode to generate recommendations on housing for a rising sophomore. To keep this simple, have a total of 4 possible outcomes based on inputs of cost, proximity to campus, and whether the bedroom is shared with a roommate.
Please send your documents or any questions to Dr. Matthew Miller (mamille4@ncsu.edu) by 5 pm on 20 September 2021.
Please include information on your programming and Linux skills in your resume.
