Applications are closed

  • Internship
    Full-time
    Off-cycle Internship
  • Data
  • London

Requirements

  • Must have strong programming ability in scientific and analytical programming languages (e.g. R, Python, Fortran)
  • Must have experience with Machine Learning
  • Qualifications in an Earth Science/Physics – preferably Coastal Dynamics or Oceanography but other disciplines will be considered.
  • Experience working with high-performance clusters in a UNIX or Linux environment is advantageous
  • Some experience with GitHub is advantageous

Responsibilities

  • Project aims: Build a ML model to produce water-level timeseries during a real-time European Windstorm event.
  • European windstorms bring a risk of coastal flooding which, if severe, could cause extensive damage to properties, infrastructure, and businesses. Moody’s RMS has a catalogue of thousands of simulated storms causing coastal flooding along European coastlines. The aim of this project is to use this extensive dataset to develop and train a ML model to produce water-levels along a specified coastline given limited observational data as inputs. The measure of success will be how well the model can reproduce the water-levels compared to a fully hydrodynamic simulation.
  • The candidate will develop and run a ML model (using PyTorch, for example) using an extensive training data set of water levels at the coast during European windstorms.
  • Ideally the candidate will bring their own knowledge of ML to shape the initial planning phase and development of a model.
  • The candidate will be required to present and discuss their work during regular meetings with their supervisor and the wider Coastal Flood Team. There will be an opportunity to present a seminar on their work at the end of the project to the whole Model Development team.
