UChicago’s new Human-Centered Weather Forecasting (HCF) Initiative has several openings for research (postdoc and research scientist), management, and leadership positions. HCF is a pioneering, interdisciplinary initiative to generate high-quality, AI- and physics-based, human-centered weather forecasts, particularly for low- and middle-income countries. HCF’s faculty co-directors are Professors Michael Kremer (Economics), Pedram Hassanzadeh (Climate and AI), and Amir Jina (Climate and Economics). These positions offer a unique opportunity to advance scientific knowledge and its practical applications in a rapidly evolving field and be a part of UChicago’s extensive efforts around climate and AI research, including the AI for Climate Initiative (AICE), Institute for Climate and Sustainable Growth, and the Data Science Institute.
We invite people interested in an Agrometeorological Postdoctoral Scholar position. Applicants should have prior interdisciplinary experience working on topics related to agriculture or environmental data and analysis. If you have a PhD in Agricultural Meteorology, Agricultural Economics, Climate Science, Data Science, Atmospheric Science, Physical Oceanography, Applied and Computational Mathematics, Physics, Engineering, or a related field by July 1st, please submit your interest form here. The appointment will be made at the Department of Geophysical Sciences, Data Science Institute, Department of Economics, or Harris School of Public Policy, depending on the applicant’s background and interests.
We encourage you to submit an application even if the deadline has passed. Direct all questions to ortizriomalo@uchicago.edu.
