About this role
About Rainmaker
Rainmaker is pioneering a modern cloud-seeding system to increase precipitation, improve water availability, and address severe-weather challenges. We combine atmospheric science, weather-resistant UAS, radar and satellite observations, numerical weather prediction, novel sensing systems, and sustainable seeding technologies to design, operate, and evaluate precipitation-enhancement programs.
Satellite observations provide the coverage Rainmaker needs to understand clouds across large regions, while our radar, aircraft, UAS, and in-situ sensors provide unusually valuable observations for validation and improvement.
About the Fellowship
The Rainmaker Satellite Remote Sensing Fellowship is a paid, full-time research appointment for exceptional undergraduate and graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, recent graduates, and other early-career researchers.
You will join Rainmaker's satellite remote-sensing group and work alongside our researchers on a scoped project drawn from the team's current research priorities and defined in close collaboration with your research lead or mentor. Project matching will consider available data, mentor capacity, team needs, and your background. You will take responsibility for a concrete computational workstream while contributing to ongoing retrieval, validation, automation, and operational-support work across the team.
