Postdoctoral Appointee - Land-atmospheric interactions and hydrological extremes

About the role

The Argonne National Laboratory, supported by the U.S. Department of Energy, seeks a Postdoctoral Research Associate to investigate the role of land-atmosphere interactions in short-term to seasonal predictability. This role focuses on understanding impacts on boundary layer processes, aerosol-cloud interactions, precipitation, and hydrological extremes, including feedback mechanisms that influence extreme events.

Responsibilities

• Work with observational and modeling teams using ARM User Facility datasets, including Bankhead National Forest and DUSTIEAIM datasets.
• Utilize advanced modeling frameworks like E3SM or data-driven AI models.
• Develop and train AI/ML deep learning models, working with agent-based workflows.
• Collaborate with observational and modeling teams to analyze large datasets.
• Contribute to scientific publications through research and analysis.

Requirements

• Completed or soon-to-be-completed Ph.D. in Atmospheric Science, Meteorology, Climate Science, Applied Mathematics, Data Science, or a related field within the last 0-5 years.
• Strong background in atmospheric dynamics, turbulence, land-atmosphere interactions, cloud physics, or precipitation processes.
• Experience working with large observational or model datasets.
• Experience with developing AI/ML deep learning models, working with agent-based workflows, model training, and other emerging AI techniques and tools.
• Programming experience in Python, C++, or similar scientific computing environments.
• Demonstrated ability to publish scientific research.

Qualifications

• Ability to model Argonne’s Core Values: Impact, Safety, Respect, Integrity, and Teamwork.

Skills

• Expertise in atmospheric science and climate modeling.
• Proficiency in Python, C++, or similar programming languages.
• Experience with machine learning and deep learning techniques.
• Knowledge of Earth system modeling and observational datasets.
