Genuine interest in applying geospatial skills to climate, energy, and sustainability challenges.
Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities with keen attention to detail.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
Familiarity with tools such as Google Earth Engine (GEE) for satellite data analysis is an added advantage.
Basic programming skills for automation, preferably in Python (e.g. Pandas, GeoPandas, Rasterio), will be valued.
Knowledge of remote sensing concepts (e.g. spectral indices like NDVI and NDBI) is desirable.
A portfolio of academic or personal projects (e.g. GitHub repository or online map portfolio) will be considered a strong plus.
