Soil and water sciences B.sc. + Enviromatics (field that uses data science to solve environmental and agricultural problems) research M.sc. what are my skills?
Hi all! I am nearing the end of my masters degree and I’m starting to think about the next stage. My issue is that I’m not an agronomist, I’m not an environmental or water engineer, I’m not a data scientist… just a bit of all three. What can I go for and how can I market myself?
Here is my background:
B.sc.ag in soil and water sciences. Internship at an agtech company. Student job at a water, sewage, and drainage engineering firm.
Currently, research masters in enviromatics. I use python and took some courses that used matlab but I would also say that I’m mostly vibe coding. My research includes using a specific mix transformer for a computer vision task that has to do with automatically assessing post-earthquake damage. That’s where the data science and environmental science meet. However, I feel that I mostly know how to use this one specific model. I don’t have general data science knowledge outside of my research, but I feel confident in my ability to learn all of it and apply it.
I’ve taken courses in modeling, numeric methods, digital twins, complex systems, and machine learning (no grade). My natural sciences background is mostly from my bachelors, but includes fluid mechanics through porous media, plant physiology, geology, etc.
My dream was to work in agtech or envirotech but it’s a small field. I don’t know what job titles to search for, what I’m qualified for. I don’t know where to start.
I’m not in the US but hold US citizenship. I can work remote but it’s not ideal for me. I’m located in Israel.
Where do I begin? What paths could I consider?
TIA!
