Geospatial Data Science Intern information

What is a geospatial data science intern?

A Geospatial Data Science Intern helps analyze and interpret spatial data using GIS, statistical methods, and machine learning. They work with mapping tools, databases, and coding languages like Python or R to extract insights from geographic information. Interns may assist in data collection, visualization, and model development for applications in urban planning, environmental science, transportation, and more. This role provides hands-on experience with geospatial technologies and real-world problem-solving.

What types of projects or tasks can a geospatial data science intern expect to work on?

As a Geospatial Data Science Intern, you may assist with tasks such as cleaning, analyzing, and visualizing geospatial datasets, creating maps and spatial models, or developing scripts to automate data processing workflows. Interns often support research projects related to urban planning, environmental analysis, logistics, or public health, depending on the industry and team focus. You'll likely work closely with a mix of data scientists, GIS analysts, and subject matter experts, gaining exposure to real-world applications of spatial data. This hands-on project work can help build your portfolio and provide valuable experience that supports future career growth in geospatial science and analytics.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a geospatial data science intern?

To thrive as a Geospatial Data Science Intern, you need a background in data science, spatial analysis, and GIS concepts, ideally supported by coursework or a degree in geography, computer science, or a related field. Familiarity with tools such as ArcGIS, QGIS, Python, SQL, and data visualization platforms is commonly expected, while knowledge of remote sensing or geospatial databases is a plus. Problem-solving abilities, attention to detail, and strong communication skills help interns excel in collaborative, project-driven environments. These skills are crucial for effectively analyzing spatial data and successfully contributing to innovative geospatial solutions.

Job description

Overview
Lynker Corporation is a leading provider of innovative solutions in weather and climate science. With a commitment to excellence and a passion for innovation, Lynker leverages cutting-edge technologies and scientific expertise to support the creation and delivery of improved operational weather forecasts.
As part of our ongoing growth and expansion, we are seeking a dynamic and experienced Environmental Data Scientist to join our growing team.
Responsibilities
Duties of the Environmental Data Scientist will include the following:
  • Data organization: organize, catalog, and structure heterogeneous environmental and geospatial datasets using consistent metadata and controlled vocabularies, with clear provenance, so they can be combined consistently and reproducibly.
  • Analytical logic: help define how rules and analytical logic are represented, versioned, and evaluated against layered datasets, with traceable analytical lineage from inputs to results.
  • Data product design: define what analytical inputs and outputs should contain, including data, results, and metadata, the schemas that represent them, and how those schemas evolve over time.
  • Domain reasoning: bring environmental and hydrologic domain knowledge to bear on how data is weighted, interpreted, and encoded into rules.
  • Validation & QA: develop checks, test cases, and validation logic to confirm that rules produce correct, explainable, and consistent results.
  • Documentation & collaboration: document data schemas, analytical logic, and data sources; collaborate across the Science, Engineering, and Platform teams to keep the system understandable, accessible, and maintainable.

Qualifications
The Environmental Data Scientist selected should have the following:
  • Master's in environmental science, ecosystem science, water resources, hydrology, earth science, environmental data science, or a related field; or a Bachelor's plus 2 years applying data science to environmental problems; or equivalent hands-on experience.
  • Strong environmental and data science background, with the ability to reason about how environmental evidence should be represented and combined.
  • Proficiency in a data science language such as R or Python for data wrangling, analysis, and modeling.
  • A working sense of geospatial data science, including experience with GIS tooling and spatial datasets (e.g., R, ArcGIS, QGIS, Google Earth Engine).
  • Comfort thinking structurally about data schemas, inputs, and outputs, and translating domain logic into clear, testable rules.
  • Strong technical and scientific writing skills.

The Ideal Environmental Data Scientist will have the following:
  • Experience designing data schemas, structured formats, or APIs, and defining inputs and outputs for downstream consumers.
  • Familiarity with rules-based or decision-support systems and how to make their logic transparent and explainable.
  • Experience integrating multiple public and agency data sources (e.g., USGS, NOAA, PRISM) for watershed or environmental analysis.
  • Exposure to machine learning or statistical modeling applied to environmental data.
  • Track record of scientific writing, publication, or open-source contribution.
  • Colorado Front Range presence for periodic in-person collaboration.
