• Ph.D. in Computer Science, Mathematics, Statistics, or a related field. Alternatively, a Master’s degree with significant industry experience
• Deep understanding of neural network fundamentals, including transformer-based architectures (including but not limited to LLMs), foundation models, and reinforcement learning
• Firm grasp on using PyTorch to design novel neural network layers, embeddings, and physics informed loss functions in large-scale models
• Thorough understanding of PDEs, numerical methods, tensor calculus, linear algebra, nonlinear dynamics, applied statistics with a focus on Bayesian stats, skewed distributions, and tail end events
• Experience with multi-modal datasets and models
• Experience with cloud computing platforms such as AWS, Azure, or GCP
• Strong passion for innovation and keeping up-to-date with the latest research in AI methods
• Exceptional communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work effectively in cross -functional teams and contribute to a positive team climate

Advantageous, but not a must

• Domain expertise in meteorology, climate science or the energy sector
• Proficiency in Nvidia GPU frameworks (CUDA, cuDNN, TensorRT, NCCL) and HPC technologies
• Publication record in AI conferences (e.g., NeurIPS, ICML, Gordon) and journals
• Expertise working with large geospatial weather and climate datasets as well as the Pangeo stack
• Experience using JAX/Tensorflow and generative AI
• Experience in deploying machine learning models in production using containerization and orchestration tools (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes)
• What we value most is passion, collaboration, diversity of backgrounds and expertise, willingness to learn and innovate, and a determined and resilient work ethic. Even if you think you do not yet display all the skills above, we would still like to hear from you.
