About the role

About Terranox

We're the first AI-powered uranium discovery company. Nuclear is the only clean, scalable, and baseload energy source available today, and we’re structurally short on uranium. We're addressing that by applying AI/ML to a discovery process that hasn't fundamentally changed in decades.

Backed by General Catalyst, 776 Ventures, Y Combinator, and others.

The role

You'll work on a real research problem at the intersection of geophysics and modern ML. The summer's output will feed directly into how we explore for uranium in the field. With a strong fit, this internship can lead to a full-time offer.

Requirements

  • Currently pursuing an MSc or PhD in geophysics, applied physics, computational physics, applied mathematics, or a closely related field
  • Strong scientific computing skills (Python, the standard stack)
  • Interest in applying modern ML to geoscientific problems

Bonus but not required

  • Hands-on experience with ML methods on real geoscientific data
  • Background in exploration geophysics

Logistics

  • In-person in San Francisco
