Job description
The Division of Meteorology and Atmospheric Science within the School of Earth and Mineral Sciences at The Pennsylvania State College, on the College Park campus, invitations functions for a tenure-track Assistant Professor within the discipline of synthetic intelligence (AI), machine studying (ML), and/or knowledge assimilation (DA) functions to Meteorology and Atmospheric Science and associated fields (MAS+). MAS+ fields embody, however should not restricted to, conventional meteorology (bodily and dynamical, throughout all scales), atmospheric science, local weather science, numerical climate prediction, earth system science (oceans, cryosphere, land floor, carbon cycle), hydrology, atmospheric chemistry, distant sensing, area climate, planetary atmospheres, climate threat and communication, and hyperlinks to power and well being.
The deluge of enormous datasets concerning the Earth and its setting has led to the scenario of being data-rich however comparatively data poor. Analyzing these massive, multi-modal, and heterogenous knowledge requires superior computational methods to enhance understanding of the governing dynamics and prediction of uncommon and excessive occasions. AI/ML/DA strategies can be utilized for extra speedy and correct predictions, sample recognition, bias correction, mannequin improvement, mannequin interpretability, knowledge/mannequin fusion, parameter estimation, ensembles, and uncertainty quantification, amongst different functions.
The candidate can have experience in any space of MAS+ however use AI/ML/DA as a part of their analysis, or have AI/ML/DA strategies as the main focus of their work in MAS+. We search a colleague who will develop a profitable, externally funded analysis program that enhances the prevailing portfolio of the division, train high quality undergraduate and graduate programs, and exhibit dedication to mentoring, service, and advancing fairness and inclusion. A Ph.D. in atmospheric science or a associated technical self-discipline (e.g., meteorology, oceanography, local weather science, earth techniques science, statistics, laptop science, engineering, physics, chemistry, and so forth.) is required by the point of rent. Demonstrated capability to conduct interdisciplinary analysis that integrates AI/ML/DA methodologies to software areas is very desired. This place will help two of Penn State’s thematic areas of its strategic plan (https://strategicplan.psu.edu/): ‘Stewarding our Planet’s Sources’ and ‘Empowering By means of Digital Innovation.’
Functions ought to be submitted on-line and embody (1) a canopy letter, (2) statements of analysis and educating pursuits, (3) a curriculum vitae, (4) proof, both woven by means of their software supplies, or as a separate range assertion, describing engagement in and plans for fostering a various, equitable, and inclusive setting inside the division and the skilled group, (5) the names and call data of 4 references.

We perceive that our shared future is guided by primary rules of equity, mutual respect, and dedication to one another. We’re dedicated to nurturing a studying and dealing setting that respects variations, together with however not restricted to, tradition, age, gender, race, ethnicity, bodily capability, sexual orientation, and non secular affiliation. In welcoming each candidate, we attempt to satisfy the wants {of professional} households by actively aiding with partner-placement wants.
Penn State’s Division of Meteorology and Atmospheric Science, a part of the School of Earth and Mineral Sciences (EMS), is among the many oldest, largest, and most revered meteorology departments within the nation, and is acknowledged for its distinctive report of management in the neighborhood and the gifted college students that it attracts from throughout the nation and across the globe. Penn State additionally has an Institute for Computational and Knowledge Sciences (ICDS) and a Heart for Superior Knowledge Assimilation and Predictability Strategies (ADAPT) with experience in AI/ML/DA. The division is positioned on the College Park campus of Penn State which is within the city of State School, PA. House to nearly 43,000 full-time residents, and generally known as “Pleased Valley,” the native space has tons of of companies that serve the residents and college students alike, together with distinctive outlets, eating places (each native and chain), a wide range of supermarkets and large field shops. Moreover, throughout residence soccer video games and the annual Central Pennsylvania Pageant of the Arts, State School turns into the third-largest metropolis in Pennsylvania, behind Philadelphia (a 3-hour drive) and Pittsburgh (a 3-hour drive). Whereas surrounded by the forested hills of the Appalachian Mountains, State School can also be only a quick 3-4 hour drive from New York Metropolis, Baltimore, and Washington, DC.
