[ES_JOBS_NET] AI weather forecasting at UChicago - scientist/postdoc positions

[Pedram Hassanzadeh]

The University of Chicago’s AI for Climate Initiative
<https://datascience.uchicago.edu/research/aice-ai-for-climate/>
(AICE) and Climate
Extremes Theory and Data <https://pedram.rice.edu/> (CeTD) group invite
applications for multiple postdoctoral fellow and research scientist
positions to work with Prof. Pedram Hassanzadeh
<https://geosci.uchicago.edu/people/pedram-hassanzadeh/> on advancing AI
weather forecasting across scales, from short- and medium-range to
subseasonal-to-seasonal (S2S) predictions. These researchers will closely
collaborate with a growing multidisciplinary team, which includes
Profs. Michael
Kremer <https://economics.uchicago.edu/directory/Michael-Kremer> (Economics)
and Amir Jina <https://harris.uchicago.edu/directory/amir-jina> (Public
Policy), focused on human-centered weather forecasts, and in conjunction
with the international efforts at the Development Innovation Lab
<https://dil.uchicago.edu/> (DIL).

Broadly, the topics of interest include

   1.

   Developing probabilistic S2S AI weather models
   2.

   Forecasting monsoon and other extreme precipitation events across scales
   3.

   Developing benchmarks and metrics for AI weather models based on climate
   and AI theories, particularly focusing on physical consistency and extreme
   events
   4.

   Exploring hybrid AI-numerical weather prediction modeling
   5.

   Developing algorithms for foundation AI weather models

Work on these topics involves collaborations with leading experts in
atmospheric science and AI from the University of Chicago and other
institutions. The close partnership with economists and public policy
experts at DIL accelerates the translation of the outcome of this work to
significant societal impact.

In addition to being part of the dynamic AICE and DIL communities, these
researchers will benefit from major AI and climate activities at the
University of Chicago, including the Data Science Institute, the Climate
and Sustainable Growth Institute, and the AI+Science Initiative, as well as
those at the Argonne National Lab.
