We are seeking an individual specialising in Urban Adaptation, with strong strategic thinking skills and the ability to translate research into visual and spatial outputs, as part of the Adaptation and Risk Analysis Group. The role blends systems thinking, spatial analysis, and creative storytelling to transform research on heat and multi-hazard risks into actionable, design-informed adaptation strategies.

Responsibilities

We’re seeking a technically grounded and impact-driven professional to lead our climate risk analytics and modelling work, with a focus on Heat Mapping and Risk Analysis. The role calls for a blend of scientific rigour, spatial insight, and policy understanding, translating high-resolution climate and socio-economic data into actionable risk intelligence for national and city-level decision-makers.

Responsibilities

We are looking for a curious and analytical early-career professional eager to explore how economics can drive real-world climate adaptation, helping shape economic models, cost–benefit insights, and policy solutions that strengthen climate resilience across urban and rural contexts.

Responsibilities

We are looking for a motivated fresher to design, develop, and test dynamic web applications using Angular, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and Django (Python). The candidate will work closely with the team to create responsive front-end interfaces, integrate backend functionality, and collaborate on UI/UX design.

A basic understanding of SQL and version control (GitHub) is required.

This position offers hands-on experience across the full web development lifecycle and an excellent opportunity to learn and grow in a collaborative environment.

We are seeking motivated and detail-oriented interns to support a large-scale reporting initiative for government buildings in Delhi and Lucknow, using CSTEP’s in-house decision-support tool—the Rooftop Solar Explorer (RTSE).

RTSE is designed to accelerate rooftop solar adoption in India by providing roof-level insights through rooftop mapping, solar potential estimation, techno-economic analysis, and structured reporting. These outputs help governments, utilities, and other stakeholders plan and implement rooftop solar deployment effectively.

We are seeking a motivated and detail-oriented Intern to support ecological surveys as part of an ongoing project on Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) in Bengaluru. This internship provides hands-on experience in biodiversity surveys, ecological sampling, and field data management across a range of diverse urban and peri-urban habitats. The internship offers an opportunity to contribute to an ongoing project on urban ecosystems and climate resilience. Interns will also receive guidance and mentorship from a multidisciplinary research team.

We are seeking a GIS Analyst with expertise in GIS, programming, and remote sensing to conduct advanced spatial analyses and deliver high-quality insights that support research and inform policy.

Responsibilities

• Conduct in-depth spatial analyses to support project objectives and address complex research questions.

• Manage and process large, complex datasets using GIS software and platforms (e.g. Google Earth Engine, ArcGIS Pro, and QGIS).

We are seeking a Geospatial Analyst to collect, analyse, and visualise spatial data in support of research on climate, energy, and sustainability.

Responsibilities

• Collect, create, edit, and manage spatial and tabular data using ESRI ArcGIS Pro and/or QGIS.

• Perform core spatial analyses and geoprocessing tasks (e.g. overlay analysis, spatial queries, and zonal statistics) to support research projects.
