Data Science Intern

Title: Data Science Intern

Location: Singapore

EDHEC Climate Institute is looking for a motivated and technically strong Data Science Intern to support the development of our infrastructure ratings. The successful candidate will collaborate closely with senior team members on real-world data science problems.

The production of climate risk ratings relies on:

Sophisticated climate risk models complemented by robust analytics

A structured, production-grade codebase supporting model simulations and the generation of ratings

The code structure must be designed with reliability, efficiency, and maintainability as core principles. The successful candidate will help improve existing code and structures, and assist in developing new ones. This requires strong coding and organizational skills.

This internship is a great opportunity to work at the interface of climate science, finance, and regulation, while developing strong analytical and coding skills.

Moreover, this internship is a potential pathway to a full-time Junior Data Scientist position, subject to performance.

Duration: 6 months

Key Responsibilities

Assist in improving the maintainability, efficiency, and robustness of the codebase

Assist in building and maintaining data pipelines

Develop analytical tools to improve the traceability of results

Support data analysis, modeling, and data processing tasks

Produce clean, well-structured, and well-documented code

Contribute to the documentation of methods and workflows

Required Skills & Qualifications

Strong general programming skills, with a focus on logic, readability, efficiency, automation, and maintainability

Solid proficiency in Python, ideally with experience in object-oriented Python

Familiarity with common Python libraries for data science (e.g. pandas, numpy)

Experience with collaborative version-control tools (Git)

Meticulous and analytical mindset, with a strong interest in problem-solving

Ability to work independently under minimal supervision

At least a bachelor's degree in a technical curriculum such as computer science, finance, economics, or physics

Nice to Have

Proven experience with data science projects

A master's degree in a technical curriculum

Basic knowledge of financial concepts and modelling

Interest in climate changerelated topics

Profile We Are Looking For

You are rigorous and enjoy solving concrete problems with data. You care deeply about code quality and take pride in improving your code's readability and efficiency.

You are curious and keen to expand your knowledge in climate finance.

You want to grow as a professional data scientist, and see this internship as a solid stepping-stone towards that objective.

We value clean, production-ready code as much as correct results.
