Liability Risk Scientist

Verisk is a leading analytics and data solutions provider that helps organizations better understand and manage risk. Drawing on deep domain expertise, proprietary data, and advanced analytics, Verisk supports decision‑making across insurance and related markets by translating complex information into actionable insights.
Verisk’s Catastrophe & Risk Solutions business unit develops analytical tools and models that help clients assess extreme and systemic risks. The group supports underwriting, portfolio management, pricing, and capital decisions by combining scientific research, data analytics, and domain expertise across natural and man‑made perils.
 

The Verisk Casualty Catastrophe Model addresses large‑scale casualty risks that can generate correlated losses across multiple insureds and industries. The model applies a catastrophe‑style framework to litigation‑driven and liability‑based risks, incorporating legal, regulatory, scientific, and behavioral dynamics to help clients understand accumulation, severity, and tail risk.

About the Role
 

We are hiring a Scientist I to join a growing research team focused on understanding casualty litigation as a systemic risk. This role is ideal for a MSc- or PhD trained researcher who enjoys deep investigation, mixed methods research, and applied analysis, and who wants their work to directly shape models, products, and thought leadership.

You will study casualty litigation risks across domains (emerging and legacy), translating complex legal, scientific, and regulatory information into structured, model ready insights. The role combines qualitative research (reading cases, synthesizing narratives) with quantitative analysis (building datasets, trends, and indicators).
This is a hands-on individual contributor role with high visibility and real-world impact.
 

For over 50 years, Verisk has been the leading data analytics and technology partner to the global insurance industry by delivering value to our clients through expertise and scale. We empower communities and businesses to make better decisions on risk, faster.
