The results of your work will be used by industry and governments to assess the risks from extreme weather events.

* Develop code to represent extreme weather events with numerical weather models and statistical models.
* Provide scientific expertise concerning the expression of atmospheric perils within the lower boundary layer in models and observations.
* Engage with clients about validating and using Verisk's CAT models to assess risks from extreme weather events.
Qualifications
* Knowledge of atmospheric dynamics/physics is required.
* Strong programming skills required (fluency in at least one of Python or R).
* Proficiency in good software design principles and code organization is essential.
* Background and experience in modeling mid-latitude weather extremes would be considered a significant advantage.
* Experience with statistical modeling would be a significant advantage.
* Ability to gather, integrate, and critically analyze data from all relevant sources.
* Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
* Open to early and mid-career scientists.
