This is an exciting opportunity to join the Met Office on a 12-month Year In Industry placement, developing your skills and knowledge and ensuring you gain the most value possible from your experience with us. You will have the opportunity to network with our cohort of Industrial Placements all over the Met Office and understand what career opportunities we can offer you after you graduate.

As a member of the Weather Impacts Team you'll support one of our critical activities - the evaluation of automated hazard impact models that support Impact-based National Severe Weather Warnings. A prerequisite for this research is the automated collection of societal impact observations (e.g. injuries and displacement, damage and destruction of infrastructure and property, disruption to transport networks, denial of access to critical services) that occur as a result of severe weather. These observations can be acquired from a range of online information sources (e.g. news and social media; humanitarian agencies) using data science techniques (e.g. Natural Language Processing).

This exciting and novel area of research will provide future support for situational awareness and long-term monitoring of impacts for weather and climate science.

As our Weather Impacts Industrial Placement, the key duties are:

- Expand our societal impact data collection approach by identifying and analysing appropriate data sources that are relevant to weather-induced impacts in the UK and globally.
- Refine and test the impact data collection process by evaluating the collected observations for bias and uncertainty.
- Enhance the current impact data method to be fully automated.
- Identify approaches for effective visualisation of impact observations that can support situational awareness and/or impact scenario assessment for use by forecasters and researchers.
- Engage regularly with scientists, technology experts and operational meteorologists across the Met Office to ensure the developed tool meets the needs of this diverse set of stakeholders.

**Essential Qualifications, Skills & Abilities**:

- You're studying for a degree with a numeracy, science (physical sciences) and/or IT element such as Computer Science or Data Science.
- You have good programming skills (particularly Python) to solve scientific and/or technical tasks.
- You work **better together** by collab
