PhD in Machine Learning and Statistical Mechanics with applications in climate
Please find below two announcements for PhD grants in Machine Learning and Statistical Mechanics with applications in climate dynamics. The two projects will use new extremely efficient algorithms to compute rare events. The aim is to couple those algorithms with machine learning approches. One subject deals with the prediction of abrupt climate change, the other to extreme events with climate impact.
Both grants are within European ITN project with excellent salary conditions and networking opportunities.

15 PhD Announcements for the CriticalEarth ITN
Please find below a link to 15 PhD projects that are currently being advertised as part of the new Horizon 2020 Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions, Innovative Training Network (ITN) called CriticalEarth that Peter Ditlevsen will be leading from UCPH in collaboration with a strong network of beneficiaries and partners. Please feel free to share to any qualified candidates in the fields of climate dynamics, climate theory, applied mathematics, statistical mechanics etc.
Click here for positions: https://www.criticalearth.eu/climate/
Some of the PhD adverts are open for applications and the remaining positions will be posted online within the next month. You can see status of each PhD via the link, including the title, location and brief overview of objectives.
CriticalEarth will officially begin on March 1st and will have a close relationship with TiPES. The 3-year PhD Fellowships will start between March and the end of September 2021 and successful applicants will form a network of 15 PhD Fellows (or “early stage researchers”, as referred to by the EU), trained to research new methods for assessing the mechanisms and associated risks of critical transitions in the climate. The focus will be on investigating how complex mathematics can be used to predict and avoid irreversible climate change.

Eligibility
*Applicants should hold an MSc degree in a relevant field with great results and good English skills.
*Because the aim of EU ITN projects is to attract candidates from worldwide locations,applicants must not have resided and not have carried out their main activity (work, studies, etc.) in the country of the recruiting beneficiary for more than 12 months in the 3 years immediately before the recruitment date – unless as part of a procedure for obtaining refugee status under the Geneva Convention. If candidates are applying from a location that requires a visa or permit, then the university/institute responsible for the PhD will provide support and advice throughout the process of relocation.
*The applicant must be an Early Stage Researcher (ESR) i.e. at the time of recruitment they must be in the first 4 years (full-time equivalent research experience) of their research careers and must not have been awarded a doctoral degree.

The search is for candidates to be hired at the assistant professor level; under special circumstances, however, an untenured associate or senior faculty appointment is possible, commensurate with experience.
The Health of the Planet is one of the most important challenges facing humankind today. The need for a sustainable planet demands integrated research efforts that develop novel fundamental modeling, computation, machine learning and AI methods with technological innovation. Ocean systems are particularly important and in need of both fundamental research and development of breakthrough solutions. A creative mens et manus approach is essential to ensure the health and security of our oceans and environment.
We seek candidates who have expertise in computing and data-driven science and engineering, and can apply it to:
- Develop integrated systems using smart sensors and physics-informed machine learning.
- Explore, utilize, and protect our environment and oceans.
- Conduct fundamental and applied research in sensing, acoustics, communications, signal processing, control, autonomy, sea-level and climate change mitigation, environmental hazards, environmental risk assessment, among others.
- Use data for estimation, prediction or control relevant to sustainable mobility, autonomous vehicles, sea transports, and ocean environments and coastal structures.
- Provide usable water, resilient food, and sustainable energy (e.g., desalination, water management, sustainable aquaculture, food security, wind and ocean renewable energy, low emission propulsion) using data-driven models and AI-embedded engineering.
Candidates should contribute to interdisciplinary research in environmental and ocean science and engineering such as marine robotics, sensing, structures, physics, acoustics, ecosystems, food, desalination, and renewable energy with fundamental expertise in one or more of these areas: learning for dynamics, nonlinear dynamical systems, computational modeling, physics-informed machine learning, high dimensional statistics, science of autonomy, intelligent systems, smart sensing, computing devices, decision theory, risk analysis, and data-driven science and engineering.
The Department of Mechanical Engineering and the Schwarzman College of Computing are committed to fostering interdisciplinary research that can address grand challenges facing our society. We seek candidates who will provide inspiration and leadership in research, contribute proactively to both undergraduate and graduate level teaching in the Mechanical Engineering department and SCC and add to the diversity of the academic community. The successful candidate would have a shared appointment in both the Department of Mechanical Engineering and also the Schwarzman College of Computing, in either the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS), or in the Institute for Data, Systems, and Society (IDSS).
Faculty duties include teaching at the undergraduate and graduate levels, advising students, conducting original scholarly research and developing course materials at the undergraduate and graduate levels. Prior to the start of the appointment, candidates must hold a Ph.D. in a field related to Engineering, Physics, Data Science, Computer Science, or Applied Mathematics or a similar discipline by the beginning of employment.
