NASA funded Postdoc/PhD Opportunity at the Saint Anthony Falls Laboratory - University of Minnesota

[Ardeshir Ebtehaj]

Dear Colleagues,

One Postdoc/PhD position is available at the Saint Anthony Falls Laboratory (SAFL) and the Department of Civil, Environmental and Geo- Engineering at the University of Minnesota – Twin Cities. The position will be funded by the NASA’s global precipitation measurement program and needs to be focused on the state-of-the-art research and development on data assimilation of satellite precipitation into a coupled land-atmosphere model for improved forecasts of mesoscale convective systems. The project involves developing low-order models for precipitation moist processes through modern machine learning tools and extension of the previous research of the team on the ensemble Riemannian data assimilation over the Wasserstein space. Candidates with interests on working at the intersection of land-atmosphere modeling, remote sensing, data assimilation, statistics, optimization, and machine learning are encouraged to apply. The project will provide a unique opportunity to exchange ideas with the NASA’s precipitation science team.

For consideration, please submit only your CV to Ardeshir Ebtehaj (ebt...@umn.edu). The CV must include a list of at least 2 references. 

Good wishes,
