What You Will Do

Put your hydrology talents to good use by joining our world-class R&D team! The Earth System Observations Group in the Earth and Environmental Sciences (EES) Division at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) has an opening for a summer intern with experience in hydrology or geomorphology and python. You will work as part of the Atmosphere, Climate, and Ecosystem Sciences team to conduct an analysis of temporal variability in river delta surface hydrology and contribute to our understanding of transport pathways and nutrient cycling in river deltas. The term of the appointment is 8-10 weeks, depending on the experience and availability of the selected candidate. The intern will collaborate with a team of geomorphologists and hydrologists to find creative ways to quantify transport pathways and times through river deltas and to examine how surface hydrology varies across latitudes.

What You Need
Minimum Job Requirements:

Experience with python for data analysis
Familiarity with hydrology, geomorphology, channel networks, and/or coastal environments
Written and oral communication skills

Desired Qualifications:

Experience with network-based modeling or analysis
Experience working with remotely sensed and/or geospatial data

Education:
Candidates must be actively pursuing a Bachelors, Masters, or PhD or have received a Bachelors or Masters within the past three years. Candidates who have received a PhD or who will receive a PhD by May 2021 will not be considered. Separate application links are below depending on your level of education. If you are not sure which link/education level is appropriate for you, please email apiliouras@lanl.gov.

Note to Applicants:
The application package consists of a CV, cover letter (up to two pages), transcripts, and contact information for two references. Recommendation letters are not required at this stage but may be requested upon review of applications. Your cover letter should explicitly address how you meet each of the minimum requirements and any of the desired skills, if applicable. In addition to applying online, applicants may email their application materials to apiliouras@lanl.gov. No applicant is expected to have all of the desired skills, and on-the-job learning is expected. Anyone who meets the minimum requirements is encouraged to apply. This internship is expected to be remote, given the ongoing public health crisis.
