[ES_JOBS_NET] UChicago climate extremes and AI+science PhD/postdoc positions

Tue Aug 8 06:12:51 MDT 2023

Dear colleagues,
Our group is moving to the University of Chicago and we will have multiple PhD, postdoc, and research scientist positions for projects on extreme weather, AI+science, climate change/dynamics, and at their intersections. I’d appreciate if you share the ad below with those who might be interested and encourage them to get in touch with me. 

Best regards,

Pedram Hassanzadeh

Associate Professor
The Environmental Fluid Dynamics Group (http://pedram.rice.edu <http://pedram.rice.edu/>/ <http://pedram.rice.edu/>)
Department of Mechanical Engineering
Department of Earth, Environmental & Planetary Sciences
Rice University

Our new group at the University of Chicago has multiple positions for Ph.D. students, postdoctoral fellows, and research scientists interested in working on multidisciplinary projects in the following general areas (and at their intersections): 

1) Extreme weather events and climate change (with a focus on dynamics and the extratropical atmospheric circulation), 

2) Scientific deep learning for multi-scale nonlinear dynamical systems (with a focus on developing general, rigorous frameworks for explainability and analysis), 

3) Applications of deep learning to improve analysis, modeling, and prediction of climate variability, weather extremes, and geophysical turbulence (with a focus on subgrid-scale modeling and spatio-temporal forecast/emulation).

We are looking for highly motivated applicants with strong backgrounds in one or more of these areas: climate dynamics, geophysical fluid dynamics, applied math, scientific deep learning, numerical analysis, and turbulence physics.

All Ph.D. students and researchers will benefit from our group’s involvement in multi-institutional, international collaborative projects such as the Schmidt Futures-supported DataWave <https://datawaveproject.github.io/> and NSF-supported GW-CSSI <https://cssi-gws.github.io/index.html>. They will also benefit from UChicago’s thriving and expanding programs in Climate Science <https://geosci.uchicago.edu/research/atmospheres-oceans-ice-and-climate/>, AI+Science, <https://datascience.uchicago.edu/research/ai-science/> Computational and Applied Math <https://cam.uchicago.edu/about/>, Data Science <https://datascience.uchicago.edu/>, and Climate Systems Engineering <https://climateengineering.uchicago.edu/>.

Postdoc applicants: More information about the potential projects, required qualifications, and application process can be found here <https://hassanzadehresearch.blogs.rice.edu/files/2023/08/Postdoc-positions-climate-extremes-and-AI.pdf>. The start date is flexible (anytime from 1/1/2024 to 1/1/2025). Applications will be reviewed starting 9/15/2023 on a rolling basis. The review will continue until all of the positions are filled. We encourage you to submit your application (or reach out) as soon as possible, even if you are interested in starting dates after the summer of 2024. 

A number of prestigious opportunities at UChicago including the campus-wide Eric and Wendy Schmidt AI in Science Postdoctoral Fellowship <https://aiscience.uchicago.edu/>, the T. C. Chamberlin Postdoctoral Fellowship <https://geosci.uchicago.edu/academics/information-for-postdocs/chamberlin-fellowship/>, and Kruskal Instructor <https://cam.uchicago.edu/people/#kruskal-instructors> at the Committee of Computational and Applied Mathematics are available for outstanding applicants.

Research scientist positions: Outstanding applicants for the above positions with more than 3 years of postdoc experience will be considered for appointment as research scientists.

Ph.D. applicants for Fall/Spring 2024: More information about the potential projects, required qualifications, and application process can be found here <https://hassanzadehresearch.blogs.rice.edu/files/2023/08/PhD-positions-climate-extremes-and-AI.pdf>. Depending on an applicant’s research interests and educational background, they can apply to the Ph.D. programs in Geophysical Sciences (https://geosci.uchicago.edu/academics/graduate-program-and-admissions/), Computational and Applied Mathematics (https://cam.uchicago.edu/academics/graduate-programs/), or other disciplines in UChicago’s Physical Sciences Division (https://physicalsciences.uchicago.edu/academics/academic-departments/#PhD).
