STEEP is an interdisciplinary Lab. that tries to model regional transition to sustainability and develops mathematical and computational tools for decision-making. This group gathers physicists modelers, geographers/planners, and mathematicians and computer scientists.
STEEP cooperates with several groups and Labs, in particular with the SOCLE3 group.
STEEP is a Labs of INRIA Grenoble Rhône-Alpes.

Project: The goal of this intern ship is to study, setup and experiment the Spatial Modeling Environment (SME) developed by the Gund Institute for Ecological Economics, of the university of Vermont.
Keywords: Integrated modelling, sustainable development, transport, land-use, energy, environment, system dynamics, simulation.
People and cooperations:
- The project will be carried out in the STEEP lab at INRIA Rhône-Alpes, under the supervision of Dr. Emmanuel Prados (INRIA) and Dr. Elise Arnaud (LJK, UJF). The aim of STEEP is to design policy decision-help tools to identify and assess relevant factors in the transition to sustainability at local scale.
- Cooperation: This project will be done in tight collaboration with the SOCLE3 group.
Salary: During the stay, interns receive an allowance. For local student the disposable income is 398.13 € (revenu net). For international students, the income is much more important, see the official international INRIA internships web page.
Profile and conditions for applicants:
- Level of qualifications: Engineer / Master.
- Skills: The spectrum of skills we are looking for is large and multidisciplinary (energy, economy, environmental science, geography, applied mathematics, computing, etc). Skills in programming is strongly appreciated.
- For international students, see the official INRIA conditions. Unsolicited applications can also be accepted.
Application:
- For students of partner institutions (see official international INRIA internships web page to know what a partner institution is), please follow the official application process described at international INRIA internships web page.
- For students of other institutions, send a letter or a pdf file containing a complete CV, your publication list, and a list of two references (with telephone numbers and postal and e-mail addresses) to Emmanuel Prados.
- Deadline: June, 2010.
Start date: As soon as possible!
Duration: The duration of internships is 6 months.
