This position will focus on the application and development of machine learning techniques for the emulation of complex physical processes that induce coupling between these atmospheric regions. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>The long-term goal of our group is the development of a fully coupled, ground-to-space, whole atmosphere numerical weather model and data assimilation system that integrates both neutral and plasma dynamics. The successful candidate will play a key role in this effort by leveraging NRL's extensive datasets and first-principles physics models to create novel machine learning-based parameterizations of critical processes. This is a unique opportunity to work at the intersection of atmospheric science, plasma physics, and artificial intelligence with a leading research group that has access to unparalleled computational resources and proprietary datasets.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>This position is open to U.S. citizens only. The fellowship will be administered through the National Research Council Research Associateship Programs. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>For more information about the position, please contact: Dr. Dan Hodyss (daniel.h.hodyss.civ@us.navy.mil) <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
