[ES_JOBS_NET] Graduate Research Assistantship in Data Assimilation for Fall 2024 (Florida State University, Department of Scientific Computing)

[Hristo Chipilski]

Dear all,

I am looking for a highly motivated graduate student (MS or PhD) to join my research group in the Department of Scientific Computing at Florida State University starting in Fall 2024. The student will have the opportunity to work on cutting-edge topics in data assimilation and AI for science and engineering, with emphasis on numerical weather prediction applications. Please see the the text below for more details and share with your networks!

Best,

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Overview

The research group of Prof. Hristo Chipilski in the Department of Scientific Computing at Florida State University (FSU) is recruiting one (1) MS or PhD student to begin as a Graduate Research Assistant (GRA) in Fall 2024. Research will be conducted in the growing field of data assimilation for science and engineering applications. Students will have considerable freedom in defining their own research directions, but topics of special interest include (i) the development of non-Gaussian ensemble filters, (ii) the assimilation of ground-based remote sensors, and (iii) the use of artificial intelligence/machine learning tools in data assimilation and numerical weather prediction.


How to apply

Prospective students should email Prof. Chipilski at hchipilski at fsu.edu<mailto:hchipilski at fsu.edu> with the subject line GRA Fall 2024, and include (i) a short description of their research interests as well as (ii) a CV/resume highlighting their training and experiences. After a suitable candidate is determined, a formal application through FSU's Office of Admissions will be required (https://admissions.fsu.edu<https://admissions.fsu.edu/>), and should be preferably completed before the end of December 2023.


Qualifications

  *   Bachelor or Master degree in Meteorology, Computational/Computer Science, Applied Mathematics, or other related fields [required]
  *   Demonstrated scientific programming skills with scripting and compiled languages (e.g., Python and FORTRAN) [required]
  *   Strong background in Applied and Computational Mathematics [preferred]
  *   Past experience with data assimilation, machine learning and numerical weather prediction software [preferred]


Academic opportunities

The Department of Scientific Computing was one of the first programs in the nation to offer competitive graduate programs in Computational Science with specializations in Atmospheric Science, Biochemistry, Biological Science, Geological Science, Materials Science and Physics (see https://www.sc.fsu.edu/education for more information). Together with the newly developed Master of Data Science program, the incoming student will work and study in a truly interdisciplinary environment. They will also benefit from Prof. Chipilski's connections with various national labs in the US (NCAR, NASA JPL, NRL and NOAA), creating additional research and training opportunities.
