Boston Massachusetts, United States Extreme Event Solutions Full time
Job Description

Come join the Research and Modeling Team in Extreme Event Solutions at Verisk’s Boston office, and contribute to building catastrophe models and products suited to address risk estimation in a changing climate.  Our department’s development efforts offer opportunities for creative problem-solving, analysis, and communication at the interface of extreme weather, climate change, and risk. Catastrophe models depend fundamentally on quantitative description and simulation of the background climate states driving hazardous atmospheric activity. To produce unbiased estimates of today’s risk, model proceed by careful consideration of the changes taking place over the length of the historical data, heavily supplemented by mechanistic physical reasoning where the statistics are uncertain, to represent the current climatology of natural hazards.

This is a fantastic position for a climate scientist with critical thinking and analytic skills pertaining to the modeling and analysis of climate impacts on atmospheric extremes. We hope to find candidates with a solid command of physical climate science, collaborative mindset, and a fearlessness for wading across disciplinary boundaries. The work in the position will contribute toward improvements in model-building to enable the (re)insurance sector to make better-informed decisions to bolster social resilience to a changing climate.

Day to Day Responsibilities

Contribute to data analysis, physical interpretation, and documentation of climatic signals, trends and nonstationarities in atmospheric perils represented by Verisk’s models. Signals of interest include those due to large-scale climatic modes, as well as those resulting from anthropogenically-forced activities

Perform literature review and synthesis related to climatology and impacts of changing background environments on various perils

Help interpret unfolding catastrophic events in the context of climatic variability and change

Help formulate answers to client questions related to climatic aspects of Verisk Extreme Event Solution’s atmospheric peril models

Over time, come to act as a soundboard for teams building out models aiming for consistency with current climate state, as well as climate-change projected extensions of our model products
