The University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine, Atmospheric, and Earth Science is seeking to hire a Post Doctoral Associate to work at the intersection of atmospheric science and machine learning to improve subseasonal precipitation forecasts. The postdoc
will be working to develop a real-time forecasting tool to improve U.S. Week 3-4 precipitation forecasts with innovative data science methods to provide uncertainty quantification. Machine learning will be applied to identify when, where, and why forecasts
can be considered forecasts-of-opportunity. This position seeks candidates with a background in atmospheric and climate science, particularly on subseasonal timescales, and experience using machine learning methods. The postdoc will be advised by Dr. Marybeth
Arcodia and includes collaborative efforts with Dr. Emily Becker and the NOAA Climate Prediction Center. Interested candidates should apply
