Postdoctoral Position on Machine Learning in Earth and Environmental Sciences
The Department of Earth, Environmental and Resource Sciences at the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP), invites applications for a postdoctoral position on Machine Learning applications to Computation Fluid Dynamics and Hydrologic Modeling.
Job Description:
We seek a Ph.D. in Computer Science, Data Science, Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence, Earth Science, Environmental Science, Environmental Engineering, Civil Engineering, Geography, Water Resources Engineering, Fluvial Geomorphology, or a related physical science field. The appointment is for 1-year initially but is potentially renewable. The Postdoctoral Research Assistant Associate will work under the supervision of Professors Laura V. Alvarez and Hernan A. Moreno within the newly created center for Geospatial Sensing and Sampling of the Environment (GeoSenSE). The guiding research topic is unsupervised and reinforced learning to improve Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) models that study macro-turbulence, sediment transport, and bed evolution in large-scale river systems. The desired skills of a potential candidate are: (1) Expertise in both machine and deep learning techniques, and (2) Computer programming using Linux platforms (e.g.++, R, or Python).
Applications will be reviewed on a daily basis. Interested candidates should email their CVs to Prof. Alvarez (alvarez@utep.edu) and prof. Moreno (moreno@utep.edu). Applications will be reviewed until a suitable candidate is found.
The Department of Earth, Environmental and Resource Sciences at the University of Texas at El Paso is a vibrant group of 25 faculty representing a wide variety of geology, geophysics, hydrology, environmental science, and geography expertise.
