Research Intern (Satellite Image Anomaly Detection – Climate Research) Delft Full-time Internship About this job We are currently looking for a Research Intern to join the team in Delft in the Satellite Image Anomaly Detection - Climate Research domain. We welcome interns at every stage of their academic journey! Whether you're a bachelor's student looking to gain hands-on experience, a master's student seeking an internship, or you're ready to dive into your master’s thesis — we’ve got opportunities for you. We are flexible with the duration of the internship as long as it is longer than 3 months. Please specify which is your case on your motivation letter. Are you ready to make an impact within S[&]T? We’re thrilled to help talented students reach their maximum potential. If you’d like to contribute to a safer life on Earth through your internship, we’ll be happy to guide you along the way to develop satellite image anomaly detectors for climate research purposes. Since early 1970's, meteorological agencies across the world do climate research based on geostationary satellite images. In these images, anomalies can occur, for example due to hardware errors. These anomalies have a wide variety of forms. In order to take corrective actions, anomaly detectors have been developed. As a Research Intern , you will contribute to the development of such detectors. For that, you will be provided with a large dataset (over 50 years of data), with a wide variety of instruments, data formats and spatial resolutions, as well as with access to some of the models currently used. Possible research topics: • Missing pixel inpainting. • Classification and detection modelling. • Hurricane detection. • Image mask compression. • Foreground/background segmentation (between Earth + Space pixels). • Satellite orbit reconstruction. Job details Research Intern Main responsibilities • Support development of anomaly detectors for a large dataset with various instruments, data formats and spatial resolutions. Requirements You will be the perfect match if you are: • Excited to dive into a cutting-edge topic for your master’s thesis . • Studying Computer Science or Aerospace (or a related field). • Able to work independently and give direction to your own research. • Experienced with Python . Experience with Git is an advantage. • Passionate about satellite data and the fusion of Space & Computer Science . • Enrolled in a bachelor's or master’s program for the entire internship duration . • Preferably already based in the Netherlands . • Fluent in English . • Motivated , eager to learn, and ready to make an impact.
