Our areas of expertise are reflected in a range of products and services adapted to the needs of each client in three major business lines: property-casualty insurance, life & savings, and asset management. In 2021, present in 54 countries, the 153,000 employees and distributors of AXA were committed to serving 105 million clients. AXA CORPORATE CENTER’S MAIN MISSIONS ARE TO: * Steer the entities in order to ensure the coherence of the strategies, the consistency of the commercial approaches as well as the optimization of the risks and results. * Defining and coordinating Group policies, different transversal projects and standards, identifying and sharing best practices. * Supporting the entities in order to help them to grow, to develop their offer, their management and steering standards as well as their risk management. The head office of AXA Group (GIE AXA), based in La Défense, gathers the Group's corporate activities. It coordinates the various entities according to the Group's strategy and is responsible for managing international projects. The headquarters is composed with over 1000 employees and is distinguished by its strong international culture (45 nationalities). TEAM PRESENTATION: The internship will be based at the AXA Group Risk Management (GRM) department. AXA GRM brings together multidisciplinary high-level teams composed of actuaries, engineers, PhDs and financial analysts, based in Paris, Zurich and Madrid. The Natural Hazards Team of AXA GRM is looking for an intern for 6 months who will be joining dynamic team of 15+ members team dedicated to the modeling and monitoring of the CAT risks borne by the company. The position belongs to the GRM P&C Natural Catastrophe & Reinsurance Risk department (19 FTEs) which is organized in four poles (CAT Data & Analytics, R&D Modeling, Accumulation Management and Reinsurance), the intern will work within the R&D Modeling team. MISSIONS AND CONTEXT SPECIFIC TO THE MISSION: Climate-related risks are determined through an interplay between the occurrence of climate hazards and their impact on the insurance exposure portfolio assessed through its vulnerability to the hazardous conditions. AXA has developed for several years now internal Natural Hazards (NATHAZ) risks models to notably conduct in-depth climate risk assessment. NATHAZ risks models are made of hazard, vulnerability and financial modules. Hazard module is made of meteorological data to define geographical distribution, occurrence frequency and intensity of possible weather events. The vulnerability module made of engineering expertise and claims data experience helps to assess the expected damage from an event conditioned upon the exposure characteristics and event intensity. Climate change is affecting the probability of natural hazard occurrence in terms of severity and/or frequency. Impacts of climate change are driven not only by changes in climate conditions, but also by changes in exposure and vulnerability. The first and major objective of the internship will be to integrate climate change signal into the hazard module of AXA internal NAT HAZ models. Climate change signal will be studied based on major scientific publications but also on CMIP6 climate model simulations under several scenarios and for different time-horizon. The second objective will be to study future evolution of the exposure and vulnerability modules and assess their impacts and respective contributions on future climate risks. These impacts will notably include: more resilient building construction codes, spatial changes in the exposure, mitigation and adaptation measures. This will help in designing a forward-looking vulnerability module but will also be very helpful in assessing efficiency of regional possible adaptation measures. The internship will focus on three major perils namely tropical cyclones, drought and severe convective storms. VOTRE PROFIL EDUCATION/QUALIFICATIONS: Engineering or master’s degree in applied mathematics, atmospheric science and/or physics. TECHNICAL & PROFESSIONAL SKILLS: * Interest in atmospheric sciences. * Strong programming skills (Python and R). * Strong analytical skills. * Experience with GIS. * Experience with scientific writing (publication of a BSc Thesis for example would be a plus) * MS Office (Word, PowerPoint) SOFT SKILLS & COMPETENCIES: * Good oral and written communication (French or English) * Curious, innovation-driven and research-oriented * Autonomous * Strong adaptations capabilities to potential changes in the sanitary situation * Organized and rigorous VOTRE ENVIRONNEMENT DE TRAVAIL Aimeriez-vous vous lever chaque jour motivé(e) par une mission inspirante et travailler en équipe pour permettre de protéger les personnes et leurs proches?
