The IntraRisk Group is based in Raleigh, NC. Remote work may be considered for the right candidate.
What you will do as a staff scientist:
  • Develop and use engineering computer codes such as wind/storm surge/wave hazard models and engineering fragility models for wind loading effects.
  • Process and interpret property insurance exposure data for input to HurLoss, ARA's hurricane catastrophe loss model.
  • Work with end users to understand how HurLoss can be used to support their catastrophe modeling needs.
  • Apply probability and statistics in engineering.
  • Support multiple projects and interact with current and prospective clients.
  • Document work and write technical reports.

Staff scientist required skills:
  • Basic understanding and use of building codes/analysis methods.
  • Strong problem-solving, oral, and written communication skills.
  • Ability to clearly communicate with collaborators and ask for assistance when needed.
  • Attention to detail and desire to learn from mentors.
  • Strong self-starter with the ability to pick up new technologies quickly.
  • Strong technical writing skills.
  • Agility, poise, focus, and communication skills are a must.
  • Familiarity with catastrophe modeling and property insurance risk modeling concepts is preferred.

Staff scientist position requirements:
  • Bachelor's degree or higher in Civil/Structural Engineering, Atmospheric Science, Meteorology, or related field. Advanced degree preferred.
  • At least 2 years of relevant experience; advanced degree may be considered in fulfillment of the experience requirement.
  • At least one course in computer programming and relevant experience in developing computer codes (e.g., FORTRAN, C, C++, and/or Python) for natural hazard risk assessment.
  • Candidates selected may be subject to a government security investigation and must meet the eligibility requirements for access to classified information.
