Internship - Isotope Applications In Glacierized Catchments

Duration

12 months

Internships

The IAEA accepts a limited number of interns each year. The internships are awarded to persons studying towards a university degree or who have recently received a degree (see Internship web pages for further details).

The Purpose Of The Programme Is

• To provide interns with the opportunity to gain practical work experience in line with their studies or interests, and expose them to the work of the IAEA and the United Nations as a whole;

To benefitthe IAEA's programmes through the assistance of qualified students specialized in various professional fields.

The duration of an internship is normally not less than three months and not more than one year.

Organizational Setting

The Department of Nuclear Sciences and Applications implements the IAEA's Major Programme 2, "Nuclear Techniques for Development and Environmental Protection". This Major Programme comprises individual programmes on food and agriculture, human health, water resources, environment and radiation technologies. These programmes are supported by laboratories in Seibersdorf, Monaco and Vienna. The Major Programme's objective is to enhance the capacity of Member States to meet basic human needs and to assess and manage the marine and terrestrial environments through the use of nuclear and isotopic techniques in sustainable development programmes.

controlled nuclear fusion and isotope hydrology and geochemistry.

The Isotope Hydrology Section is responsible for planning and implementing the IAEA's water resources programme. The programme assists Member States in the sustainable management of all aspects of their water resources, but with a particular focus on isotope hydrology. Major activities include internationally coordinated research, global isotope monitoring, capacity building, and technical assistance to Member States to help them with the assessment, development and use of water resources. The Section also operates a well-equipped laboratory for the analysis of stable and radioactive isotopes. The laboratory trains counterparts in using analytical techniques for high-quality measurements of isotopes in water samples.

Main Purpose

The aim of this internship is to support ongoing research in glacierized catchment hydrology as a part of the Coordinated Research Project CRPF33031 focused on understanding surface and groundwater dynamics in glacierized regions through isotopic analysis of melting glaciers and meltwater.

The primary goal of this internship is to gain knowledge and training in using water isotopes to study the impact of glacier melt on surface and groundwater, as well as for groundwater dating. The intern will support data management, interpretation, and statistical analysis, and will also work on data visualization using geospatial software, primarily ArcGIS and QGIS. This role provides hands-on training in hydrological isotope applications and data-driven insights for environmental research.
