PhD Positions in AI/ML for Hydrology or Water Resources Systems
johnm...@gmail.com
Dear colleagues,
We are looking for strong students to begin a PhD with a focus on the development of novel AI/ML models for hydrological prediction or optimization of water distribution systems. Positions will be fully-funded for four years.
Specific details about the project will be discussed with
candidates based on their background and interests. Skills and experience sought
for the positions include:
·
Strong familiarity and demonstrated experience
with PyTorch, TensorFlow, Keras and other similar libraries
·
Previous experience with common deep learning
architectures (LSTM, Transformers, CNN)
·
Probabilistic methods
·
Reinforcement learning
·
Physics-informed machine learning (would be
ideal, but not necessary)
Qualifications include a Masters in the areas of civil engineering, environmental engineering, water resources engineering, or a related field.
We are looking to fill one of the positions immediately; thus, preference will be given to qualified Canadian citizens or Permanent Residents. The other position can be filled as late as Fall 2025, but Spring 2025 is ideal.
If interested, please send your CV and cover letter to John Quilty and we will reach out soon to qualified candidates.
All the best,
John
