Job Description

Argonne National Laboratory, a U.S. Department of Energy National Laboratory located near Chicago, Illinois, has an opening for a Postdoctoral Appointee specialized in deep learning applications for hydrology and hydrodynamic modeling, especially physics-informed machine learning at the Department of Hydrology, Environmental Science Division.

The Postdoctoral Appointee will work toward advancing state-of-the art physics-informed artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) models to improve hydrologic systems modeling and near real-time forecasting at a high resolution. The project aims to develop a framework and standardized benchmark suite for scalable and robust physics-informed AI/ML for next-generation hydrologic and hydrodynamic modeling. The appointee will join a group of scientists working on this project supported by Argonnes Center for Climate Resilience and Decision Science (CCRDS). Model development will utilize the leading high performance computing platforms at ALCF ( ) and other Department of Energy computing platforms.
