Young Investigator, Climate Modeling

Persons in these roles are expected to work from our offices in Seattle. On-site requirements vary based on position and team. If you have questions about on-site work arrangements for this role, please ask your recruiter.

Compensation: $159,650.00 

Who You Are:

We seek a Young Investigator for a new three-year project to develop an AI-powered physics-informed hybrid climate model trained on historical data that is capable of multidecadal forecasts that are more accurate than the current state of the art. We’re looking for someone with experience in AI and earth science who is excited to push the frontier in climate model development. 

Note: This position has a three year term.

Who We Are: 

Ai2’s Climate Modeling team is an international pioneer in using machine learning (ML) methodologies to improve on current physics-based climate models.  Our fast, accurate autoregressive open-source emulator, ACE, stably reproduces the climate and weather extremes of an existing climate model or a reanalysis. We have coupled ACE to a ML ocean model, trained it to  realistically account  for changing CO2 concentrations, and downscaled (super-resolved) A
