As part of an interdisciplinary team with expertise in artificial
intelligence (McGill University, Polytechnique Montréal), biodiversity,
carbon cycle science, and land surface-atmosphere interactions (Université
de Montréal), the postdoc will explore, develop, and implement deep
learning surrogates for several process-based formulations in the Canadian
Land Surface Scheme including Biogeochemical Cycles (CLASSIC) calling for
improvement (e.g., vegetation phenology). Funded through the Institute for
Data Valorisation (IVADO), the two-year position is primarily based in
Montréal, Québec with regular research visits in Victoria, British
Columbia. Montréal is home to several research-intensive universities and
research clusters, including a vibrant artificial intelligence community

in computer science, mathematics, ecology, software engineering, ecology,
Earth system science, etc.,

2)    in at least some aspects of the project (e.g., deep learning, land
surface modelling),

3)    the ability to work independently and effectively as part of a team
setting consisting of university and government researchers, and
