At the heart of what we do is help clients manage risk. Verisk (Nasdaq: VRSK) provides data and insights to our customers in insurance, energy and the financial services markets so they can make faster and more informed decisions.   

 Our global team uses AI, machine learning, automation, and other emerging technologies to collect and analyze billions of records. We provide advanced decision-support to prevent credit, lending, and cyber risks. In addition, we monitor and advise companies on complex global matters such as climate change, catastrophes, and geopolitical issues.   

But why we do our work is what sets us apart. It stems from a commitment to making the world better, safer and stronger.   

It’s the reason Verisk is part of the UN Global Compact sustainability initiative. It’s why we made a commitment to balancing 100 percent of our carbon emissions.

Become a member of our Meteorology Team and join our growing Research and Modeling Department. As a member of mid-latitude/extratropical perils team, you will be responsible for developing efficient and statistically robust extratropical cyclone and winter storm models, implement – together with other scientists in the team – innovative solutions in weather and climate simulations and support client facing teams in extreme weather phenomena issues.

About the day-to-day responsibilities of the role:

•    Develop, code, and enhance stochastic and physically based models for regions across the globe for extratropical cyclones (ETCs) and winter storms. 
•    Collect, process, and analyze all available data to support the ETC and winter storms simulation and validation processes
•    Be comfortable operating in real and near-real time to obtain the best possible representation of an actual meteorological event on tight deadlines
•    Run models and fuse/assimilate observations into the modeling process to bring model output close to reality
•    Present AIR ETC and winter storm models internally and externally to clients and government bodies 
 

•    Solid background in midlatitude meteorology and climate science with emphasis on ETC and winter storms. Expertise in numerical weather and climate simulations will be considered a plus.
•    Knowledge of probability theory and (geo)statistics. Experience with statistical analysis, data science, data assimilation and stochastic simulation applications in meteorology would be considered a significant advantage. 
•    Strong programming skills gained through practical experience using high-level language and tools such as R, Python, C++, MATLAB, or FORTRAN. Experience with collaborative code development and system scripting and familiarity with version control will be considered a plus.
•    Ability to gather, integrate, and critically analyze data from all relevant sources of natural hazard information such as national and international agencies, insurance data, private entities
•    Excellent written and verbal communication skills
•    Ability to achieve goals and meet deadlines while working on multiple tasks. Project management experience would be considered a plus. 
•    Highly motivated and self-directed in advancing complex projects

Requirements:

The things you absolutely need to have:
•    Advanced degree in meteorology, climate science or related field with associated experience related to midlatitude weather analysis and simulation. Ph. D. preferred, but strong M.S. applicants may also be considered.
