About this position

Massachusetts Institute of Technology is recruiting a Postdoctoral Associate in the Center for Sustainability Science and Strategy for research on climate modeling, model emulation, Earth system models, human systems models, and coastal resilience planning.

The position is part of an interdisciplinary effort involving climate scientists, mathematicians, economists, and software engineers to develop, validate, and use new efficient and flexible model architectures. The work is closely connected to the MIT Climate Project and aims to demonstrate near-term impacts for climate challenges.

Research themes include advancing computational techniques for emulators of climate and/or human systems models, developing and testing a new model-builder platform that integrates emulators of Earth systems and human systems, and applying model emulators to provide actionable information for coastal resilience planning.

Applicants must have a Ph.D. by the date of hire in applied mathematics, atmospheric or oceanic sciences, computer science, engineering, physics, statistics, or a related field. Strong physical, mathematical, and computational background is required, along with experience in decision-making applications and/or integrated modeling, programming in at least one general-purpose language (preferably Julia), and parallel computing. The post also asks for strong communication, problem-solving, teamwork, and independent research skills.

Funding details listed by MIT include a full-time salary range of $71,000 to $90,000 per year. Visa sponsorship is available. The appointment is for one year with a possibility of extension.

To apply, candidates should submit a cover letter describing relevant qualifications, current research interests, and expertise, a CV, one peer-reviewed publication, and three recommendation letters. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis, and the start date can be any time after July 1.

For more information, contact Prof. Raffaele Ferrari and Prof. Noelle Selin at [email protected].
