We use Earth System Models (ESMs) and Global Ocean Biogeochemistry Models (GOBMs) as testbeds to better understand the reconstruction process and to build resilience into our representation and ML modeling above.* Testing ESMs and GOBMs: Through our work on optimal representation, we also plan to develop custom metrics to assess how well the relationship between feature variables and pCO2is captured in the models, compared to the observations.* Other related duties as assigned**Qualifications*** Ph.D. in the physical or mathematical sciences, in climate science, or a closely related relevant discipline. Applicants may be ABD but must have received their degree by the appointment start date. While we consider all qualified candidates, preference will be given to those with a recent Ph.D. (2023 or later).* Strong self-motivation, curiosity, a genuine interest in the topic of Climate Data Science, a collaborative mindset, and the desire to join a truly interdisciplinary community.* Strong programming experience in Python.* Advanced mathematical modeling and statistical modeling skills.* Familiarity with Machine Learning algorithms and pipelines (building, testing, and improving models) and/or geospatial-temporal data analysis.* Excellent mastery of written and spoken English.* A record of relevant publications in the peer-reviewed scientific literature appropriate to career stage.Pay Range:$75,000 - $84,000**RFCUNY Benefits** RFCUNY Employee Benefits and Accruals (link to )**About the Research Foundation** The Research Foundation of The City University of New York (RFCUNY) is a nonprofit educational corporation founded in 1963 to provide post-award fiscal and administrative support for CUNY’s research and sponsored programs.
