AXA Climate and ETHZ are looking for a joint intern who will support applied research in the domain of agriculture and biodiversity risk management.

The objective of this project will be to understand agrological risk correlations at regional and global level. Very concretely, the intern will work on a combination of crop statistics and satellite data to produce a risk correlation that can be later use by our underwriters in their crop risk assessment functions.
