<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:9.5pt;font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif;color:black">Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory and the Department of Earth and Environmental Engineering of the Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science each seek
an outstanding candidate for a new initiative between Columbia University and the University of California, Irvine. This venture is aimed at launching a major effort to apply deep learning techniques to improve sub-grid physical parameterizations in climate
models. The selected Postdoctoral Research Scientists are crucial to the success of this initiative that allows newly minted PhD researchers to benefit from multiple perspectives and specialties. Each successful candidate will preferably combine expertise
in fundamental geophysical fluid dynamics and numerical modeling with new statistical inference methods. Each of the two positions will have a distinct focus, but the Postdoctoral Research Scientists will be expected to work collaboratively. The Postdoctoral
Research Scientist with atmospheric science and the Postdoctoral Research Scientist with physical oceanography will use their differing, yet connected research fields to further the findings of deep learning techniques to improve sub-grid physical parameterizations
in climate models. Both teams will interact remotely frequently to exploit commonalities in methodology. <br>
<br>
Physical Oceanography <br>
The Postdoctoral Research Scientist in physical oceanography will be primarily responsible for investigating parameterization of ocean mesoscale and submesoscale turbulent transport and air-sea interaction. This position is based at Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory
and supervised by Prof. Ryan Abernathey. <br>
<br>
Atmospheric Science <br>
The Postdoctoral Research Scientist in atmospheric science will be primarily responsible for investigating parameterization of atmospheric convection and cloud-radiation interaction. The Postdoctoral Research Scientist will be co-supervised by Prof. Mike Pritchard
in the Department of Earth System Science at the University of California, Irvine and Prof. Pierre Gentine in the Department of Earth and Environmental Engineering at Columbia University. This Postdoctoral Research Scientist will have a unique opportunity
to collaborate with Prof. Pritchard who is a specialist in climate modeling and parameterization, as well as Prof. Gentine who is highly experienced in machine learning. This position will be split evenly between the two sites (UC Irvine and Columbia), with
some travel between the two sites anticipated. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
