As a Graduate in the Model Development Program: Analysts in the team work closely with other hazard, vulnerability, exposure, and financial modelers to quantify the loss potential of extreme climate events and to ensure the accuracy, efficiency, and appropriateness of the final modelling product. This role will perform research and development work in climate events and their extreme behavior, including tropical cyclones, inland and coastal floods, severe and winter weather, chronic and acute climate change, and so on.
