observations.  Opportunities for professional development include: leading
scientific manuscripts, developing an online workshop, presenting at
national and international conferences, undergraduate mentoring via an NSF
REU and Geology departmental capstone thesis program, and networking and
collaborating across the diverse and vibrant UMD climate, earth,
environmental and geographical science communities.

The successful candidate will have demonstrated capabilities in data
modeling using proxy observations and machine learning and statistical
methods.  Experience in observational paleoclimatology, paleoclimate
modeling and data assimilation, and machine learning methods and
applications are desirable.

Scientific Requirements:

Ph.D. in earth, environmental, climate, paleoclimate or data science.
Excellent oral and written English communications skills. Fluency in Python
& PyTorch in a Linux-based scientific computing environment will be
