[ES_JOBS_NET] Postdoctoral Research Scientist at LDEO of Columbia University

[Aileen Goldberg]

The Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory (LDEO) of Columbia University 
invites applications for a Postdoctoral Research Scientist to conduct 
research in the fields of glaciology and climate data science. The 
successful candidate would join a project aimed at using machine 
learning and artificial intelligence to emulate ice flow physics in ice 
sheet models. The project team consists of Jonathan Kingslake (LDEO), 
David Porter (LDEO), Robin Bell (LDEO), and Laure Zanna (New York 
University). Our initial objectives include developing work flows to 
simulate ice flow over high-resolution basal topography with 
physics-based models and to emulate this process using machine learning 
algorithms.

This project is funded by a new science and technology center based at 
Columbia University called Learning the Earth through Artificial 
intelligence and Physics (LEAP). LEAP brings together geoscientists and 
machine learning experts to improve Earth system models and establish 
the new interdisciplinary field of climate data science. The successful 
candidate will engage with the interdisciplinary activities of the 
center by, for example, organizing and chairing LEAP working groups. 
They will also have opportunities to participate in LEAP's education and 
knowledge transfer activities.

*_Minimum Qualifications:_*

  * Either a PhD in geophysics and some experience of machine learning,
    or a PhD in machine learning/applied mathematics/statistics and a
    strong interest in applying machine learning to geophysics and
    glaciology specifically.
  * Mathematical modeling.
  * Scientific computing (e.g., Matlab, Python, etc.).
  * Publishing peer-reviewed publications.

*_Desirable Experience:_*

  * Modeling ice flow with physics-based models.
  * Using machine learning algorithms to describe physical processes.
  * Advanced computational skills (e.g., scientific Python packages,
    high-performance computing, cloud computing, big data analysis,
    algorithm development).

Appointment will be for 1-year with continuation pending progress and 
funding.

The search will remain open for at least 30 days after the ad appears 
and will continue until the position is filled.

Columbia University benefits are offered with this Officer of Research 
appointment.
